I think "mp" is just a scale/style reference. The title also has KFC so I don't think click bait was the intent.

Robot mode is a bit top heavy but I like the jet mode mostly. Unfortunately, robot mode is my display priority.

looks pretty good, the backpack i would have liked to collapse a bit, but i'll probably pick it up

I hear ya. KFC is the name of the 3rd Party company doing this release.

Size wise, it looks too big.

Place the figure behind FT or DX9 Galvatron and we'll see.

That's equivalent to calling my car a Ford when it's a Dodge. If something is labelled as Masterpiece, it's a registered brand which means:
- it is licensed
- it is from Takara / Hasbro
- it is from the same line as all previous Masterpiece figures

It's incredibly frustrating when I see something labelled as this brand and then later realize the difference. Then I have to go back and read all of the posts again with the new knowledge.

A better example would be if I referred to one of the new Robots In Disguise figures as a Titans Return figure. Titans Return is a specific branded line to which that figure does not belong.

Everyone here should know what's MP (Hasbro/Takara) what's MP-scale toys from 3rd parties. It's just a minor typo from follow broad members, not a big deal, let it go.

I can understand that. Obviously i didn't distinguish the figure by the line- rather i distinguished it by the scale (which is scaled to fit in line with the MP figures). However yes i did distinguish the company name - with the name of the figure. I probably should have written an aka. somewheres.

I kinda see it as synonymous like kleenex. Do you say please pass me a tissue or a kleenex? Because kleenex is a specific brand. i personally say pass me a kleenex cus i dont give a shit. But if it offended your senses - then sorta sorry.

Odd gorilla mode.

And everyone has their panties in a bunch it's third party nothing more. Nothing less.
Stop hating and move on.

It's fine, no big deal.
I got one KFC figure, Transistor. After transforming that figure once I'll never get another, very poor quality.
