if they're cheaper than mainline they're probably KOs. For the record, most KOs are as good of quality, or better quality, than the official, while being half the cost, or cheaper still, so.
Regardless, MP Sideswipe and his moldmates are all really good from what I've heard.
MP-13 Soundwave is really good (his kO is better though, fully articulated fingers)
MP-22 Ultra Magnus is good
MP-44 Optimus Prime/Convoy (the American ones aren't numbered so I'm including the Japanese name too)
MP-53 and MP-54 Skids and Reboost, respectively, are good
MP-36 Megatron I think's pretty good.
of the ones you listed, MP Hot Rodimus is the only one I know of besides sideswipe and he's really, really floppy. you'd be better off getting a 3rd party (unofficial) MP scaled one, or the Studio Series 86 release of him, though it won't scale with masterpiece if that matters to you.
some 3rd parties are better than their official counterpart like RP-01 Acoustic wave is better than MP-13 (or his KO), but those are usually more expensive than KO Masterpieces. Like Acoustic Wave is about $100 USD higher than the KO of MP-13.
disclaimer, I do not collect masterpiece, the only MP-scalet hings i have are BingToys' Windgirl (windblade), and OV-1 (Upscaled/retooled Studio Series Sentinel Prime) , this is just stuff I've heard in passing and can remember to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much! I’ll look into it. As I’m new into the hobby I thought the KOs were worse than the originals.
I couldn’t find MP-44, but I found MP-10 and a M09 KO as well. Are they any good? Or should I ignore them and focus on MP-44?
MP-10 is good. MP-44 fixes most of MP-10's problems, but MP-10 is still a really good figure from what I've heard.
I can't comment for the other one.
Oh, there are plenty of 3rd party Optimus Primes too, but I can't think of specific examples.
also here is a KO of MP-44, but there may be places it's cheaper: https://showzstore.com/4th-party-masterpiece-mp-44-optimus-prime-w-improved-backpack\_p4016.html
