X-Transbots Scourge is nearly out. Opinions?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpD4lek0-1c
X-Transbots can eat shit and die.
>>5282713
>Opinions?
Bought.
Looks really nice but I'm not giving them my money. Waiting for DX9 to do a better job.
Which of these should I get?
Warbotron Whirlwind (Have the other 3 limbs, the combining bit of the game doesn't feel right unless you have all the limbs)
MMC Bovis (have none of the Feralcons, plan to just get them in released order)
Toyworld Throttlebot (one of the cheaper ones, forget which name)
Generation Toy Not-structicon (Have Maketoys Green Giant, but a larger Devestator sounds nice, though I'm not sure if I'd rather try the Toyworld one)
>>5282920
I have generation toy mix master and scrapper and they are both cool as fuck.
I have Warbotron whirlwind is OK, but a little underwhelming.
MMC Bovis is fucking awesome as are the rest of the MMC feral cons.
Dont own any of the throttle bots.
>>5282807
Not that anon but X-transbots is just KFC by another name. They've shit out enough fragile q/c plagued garbage to be wary. Especially at the price point they're floating these MP releases at.
Though it seems they are finally kicking it up a notch. Apollion was just too much of a leap for them to attempt at first but Andras seems very doable. I have to give them props for even attempting and then eventually figuring out how to get poseable hands on MP toys. TT still refuses to do it even on the big releases like Star Saber and Magnus. Their direct competition with season 3 MP shit is with DX9 who seem to have a more favorable track record, though now we have MMC and Maketoys in the ring fighting KFC's Inferno. Also they shit out this excuse of an Ironhide and we haven't seen anything since.
>>5282920
Depends on the throttle bot. They run from $30 - $60 for the limbs. Bovis if a fine bot but you have to like the bull mode to give it a pass. I can't comment on Generation Toy but they look like nice stand alones. I have nothing good to say about Warbotron but since you have 3 already your milage may vary.
>>5282920
ToyWorld Constructicons.
Besides getting a Constructicon unsucking kit (probably both perfect effect sets) and Totally not Tailgate with Cyclonus kit (using a spare universe Cyclonus body).
Debating about getting down the line:
-Quadruple U (might as well complete PE my headmaster trio?)
- any of the autobot headmaster PE
- a non-sucky 3p Ironhide or hold out for Nonnef's kit
- a non-suck 3p Ratchet
- ????
>>5282997
Ya know I was on board with them but, the more I look at the gravity builder set I'm leaning toward them. TW better get on the ball with some colored protos quick.
The more I see of this thing the more happier I am I went with the TFC version.
>>5283411
I am happier I went with the Official Legal Hasbro version.
>>5283411
That thing looks great. TFC's is a fat sack of robot shit.
>>5274269
>>5274272
>>5274273
Is that from the Planet X line?
X-Transbots Apollyon is a piece of nice-looking garbage, and I'm never buying any of their stuff again, no matter how nice it looks.
>>5283567
The proportions are way nicer on the Maketoys one
>>5283599
Yeah it's a retool of Neptune.
I wish his legs could move more, but he definitely looks a lot more impressive with the add-ons. I just need nonnef shoulder locks and maybe a Blackjack adapter and be finally done with Menasor-modding.
>>5283963
TFC rep pls go.
>>5283411
Isnt this really small like maketoys devastator? Like, deluxe sized?
>>5283549
>legal
I'm surprised your momwife lets you post here anymore.
>>5284032
>Less of a visual clusterfuck
Are you kidding? TFC is clusterfuck central. just look at all the extraneous detail! at least Gaurdia has those heroic proportions and more clean surfaces.
it still has some needless greebles, and I could go without the red fingers(?). but it looks cooler to me
>>5284032
I agree that Hasbro's, despite some of its retarded shortcomings and gaps, really did Hotspot's robot mode justice. Maketoy's is a clusterfuck of parts and TFC's is laughably too chunky in the wrong areas.
The only other Defensor on the Horizon is MMC's Oxcular Max style.
>>5284609
>TFC's is laughably too chunky in the wrong areas
Have you seen him in person? Pictures don't really do him justice.
>The only other Defensor on the Horizon is MMC's Oxcular Max style.
Didn't know about this. Might hold off on getting the Takara Defensor. They did a good job with Mirage.
What upgrade kits are available for CW Devastator? I know of the two PE kits and that one by DNA studios or whatever they're called. Is that it?
>>5284790
Dr. Wu is making an entirely new Mixmaster in the same sort of style plus a few other things like extending cranes for Hook.
>>5284342
I think he's more in line with Quantron, maybe a bit bigger. Quantron was about the size of the official combiners.
>>5284790
Shadow fisher also has a set.
>>5284790
>All these upgrade kits for CW Devastator
>Nobody thinks to make drill hands for it
>MFW
>>5284834
This looks good. All I really need is new hands.
And that elbow and gun kit.
UH-OH.
UHHH-OHHH.
>>5284499
Eh not really, Guardia is way more busy. Sure it has less greeble but it still looks like it has too much going on.
>>5285232
Only way I'll pick this up is if it's cheaper than the takara lol.
I can't really see a difference.
>>5283702
reverse the waist then use the thigh guards to cover some of the add on waist for an armored look.
>>5285222
Holy shit.
>>5285222
>tfw you paid for Andras three days ago
Fuck you FT.
>>5283549
this except Takara instead of Hasbro. both 3p Protectobots look crappy. TFC is TFC is Maketoys is overcomplicated shit just for something that looks LESS like the character it's pretending to be.
>>5285222
Are Fans Toys any good? Because that is one sexy motherfucker.
>>5285363
They're pretty much the best quality wise.
>>5285363
I don't own anything by them but I think they're basically top tier in their category. The only real competitors in the MP-aesthetics race are Maketoys' RE:Master line and MMC's Perfection series.
You have to assume at this point that Arcee, Blurr, and Springer are in the pipeline.
>>5285232
TAKARA
BTFO
>>5283411
Jesus Christ this thing looks like an absolute mess.
>>5285348
The recently announced one is the size of the licensed MP car formers.
>>5283702
For the record, Nonnef's shoulder locks work, but they're not quite as easy to use as you might think
You have to insert the shoulder lock peg into Motormaster's hands BEFORE the shoulder assembly is finished, it's not possible to do so afterwards.
Also, there's NOTHING holding the shoulder locks secure in Robot or Truck more, they flipflop everywhere at the mercy of gravity.
>>5285232
Comparisons don't get much more fair than this.
>>5285232
>Fake hood chest
>>5285412
All they need to do is not fuck up the final headsculpt and not be more expensive and this will be the first recent MP head to head where the official one utterly lost out on.
>no barrel chest
>no monkey proportions in the arms and shoulders
>cleaner and tighter backpack
>no flappy crotch armor shit
>>5285418
The full hood chest It looks like shit on the official one. No one gave a shit with both MP-1 and MP-10's fake grills.
>>5285412
>comparisons
one is a cgi render the other is an unpainted working model. there is no comparison.
>>5285412
Takara:
>flames are "painted"/tampoed on like they should be and not a painted raised detail
>better headsculpt
>better spoiler
>bicep swivels
FansToys:
>better proportions
>better arms
>less kibble
>no bicep swivels
I think I prefer the official one, honestly.
>>5285412
If they add bicep swivels and fix the face I'd take it over the MP, but as is now, nope.
>>5285222
>MP Cyclonus
Nope, can't deal.
>>5285232
>Doing shit Takara is already doing
>Doing shit that was no doubt going to get an official figure
This is why I don't get mad when people say "turd party"
>>5285397
No they didn't. The new official one is way taller than the carbots.
>>5285445
This. I thought it was really good until I took a second look. I didn't notice the fake chest until someone pointed it out. That's a big nope. And head sculpts, it's a damn shame that most turd parties can't into decent face/head sculpts. So much of the toy's personality is in the face sculpt, and a shitty one absolutely ruins it for me.
>>5285434
>No one gave a shit with both MP-1 and MP-10's fake grills
Pretty sure it's one of the few things some fanboys incessantly bitch about. And it's kind of necessary. I'm amazed at how some people around here can be such fans of transforming robot toys, yet not be able to wrap their head around basic engineering. The grill required for a decent truck mode is an entirely different shape than what the abs require. Using just one grill for both would look wrong in one mode or the other, especially when aiming for cartoon accuracy.
Hot Rod's chest, on the other hand, retains its shape between modes. It's actually straight up baffling why it's so terrible and flat on the official MP, because the alt. mode isn't licensed. They could have shaped the chest/hood however the fuck they wanted, and it would have looked fine in both modes. In fact, that's exactly what they did with the MP-09. For all of its other flaws, it handled some things that the new MP absolutely fucked up.
>>5285897

Dude, these "fans" like Alternators and Combiner Wars stuff. Do you really think they care about how shitty their figures look?
>>5285928
That's the problem, though. They ARE complaining. They want their toys to magically morph from one form to another without any kibble or compromises, while being completely accurate to 30-year-old cartoon designs that were never intended to depict a feasible transformation in the first place.
>>5285897
I don't recall a lot of bitching about the fake grill, probably because it still retained the actual windows for the chest. When the entire torso is fake, then there's bitching, but even then it seems to have subsided. FE Prime and Evasion Prime both faked the chest and are considered by most to be pretty good figures.
>>5283411
I love it when transformers do that scrambled but still funcioning vehicles parts look, but this feels kinda wrong.
First Aid's fucking wheels are a joke.
>>5285412
definitely would take fanstoy over takara.if they added bicep swivels id be all over that shit.
Fucking ship already!!!
>>5287213
is it coming out this month?
>>5287226
Was supposed to be last month, but it got delayed to this month.
>>5286216
>First Aid's fucking wheels are a joke.
I would not have noticed had you not pointed that out, they look like they belong on a legends TFer or a hot wheels!
Not complaining, is just odd
God why can't this be voyager sized instead of MP?
>>5285485
I can hardly contain myself.
>>5287877
Bold Forms isn't the best at aesthetics.
Their Not-Motormaster was pretty amateur.
>>5287866
They should have just made a good tank Megatron instead. Although I would probably buy this over Apollyon just because it's pretty interesting.
>>5287866
Other than the claw-hands and maybe the face (need a better look), liking everything I see here.
>>5287866
That's actually really impressive for a triple changer that can be a tank, gun, or robot but there are still some things that bug me about it. The face being the biggest issue. Granted it's not a great angle but it still seems to be good enough to get the point across and what's there is so off looking. I'm also not a big fan of how sterile the design ends up looking, most notably in gun mode. Maybe the colors are part of it and maybe it's just the angles of the shot though. Lastly, and this is probably the smallest grievance but yeah, those claw hands... Not totally offputting but not really good for the G1 Megatron aesthetic.
>>5283647
>They call me the mastodon because I got the trunk in the front.
>>5287866
>God why can't this be voyager sized instead of MP?
Indeed, would have easily dethroned TW hegemon has my classics megs.
>>5288141
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this. It looks amazing but I don't need another mp Megatron.
>>5287877
That Walther mode looks pretty nice if you ask me.
>>5288871
I need to see it de-armorized
>>5287866
>>5287871
>>5287875
Fuck, that's MP scale? God fucking dammit! When will 3rd parties stop this MP obsession? Doing an MP is fine but be slavishly G1 about it so it fits in with the official MPs. That's fine, but when you do stuff that's wildly out of the aesthetic such as TFC's Ironhide and Ratchet and this Megs, just keep it in CHUG scale. Don't mix the aesthetics and scales like that. You just end up with a toy that fits in neither collection.
>>5288089
i'm with you, anon.
i always thought it was "the trunk and the blunts" though.
the more you know
>>5289061
But they can get more money for producing something at MP scale
>>5287866
Is it MP size or Leader size?
>>5289217
>MP size or Leader size?
shouldn't matter too much. Leader and MP sizes are pretty similar
>>5282713
With all the 3P toys coming out today, it's easy to forget about ones that never went anywhere, like pic related
>>5287875
So who's looking forward to this little guy then?
>>5289449
Looks cool. I wont be buying it though.
>>5289449
That's neat. I might very well get him.
From the way the pictures are shot, you can forget how small he's actually going to be. That being said, for the size of him he looks amazing.
>>5289449
He was a day one pre-order and I just get more excited with every new picture.
Fuck this looks good
>>5289551
This is the Astrotrain I've been waiting for.
>>5289655
Damn, UT Octane looks pretty good with CHUGs. I might have to get him.
Do those SND upgrade kits for CW Prime partsform, or are they fully integrated into transformation like the Beezleboss ones are? That God Ginrai looks pretty cool.
>>5289449
Is DX9 they using PCC ports for this mini Devastator?
Generation Toy Mixer Truck.
Pretty cool. I'd say he's just as good if not better than Scraper.
Articulation is a little limited by the flaps on his shoulders and he doesn't have much forward leg movement, but he has enough range of motion to get into so me nice poses.
I really like that rocket launchers can swivel left and right and even fold back.
Mixer truck mode is nice. Transforming the legs can be a bit of a bitch the first time.
I really like how the mixer opens to reveal weapons. I was kinda bummed that the gun cant store in the mixer barrel, but it does peg into the bottom in alt mode so there are no left over parts.
>>5289737
You know, the one thing putting me off these guys is the fact his barrel can't turn.
>>5289749
I didnt even think about that. Id rather have the hidden weapon stash honestly but to each their own.
So it looks like Perfect Effect isn't making a hands and feet set for Defensor? Is the idea to just use the Superion set?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsxL8JIycuc
Camera mode MT wins bot mode depends on your preference. I
>>5289449
They did the best possible compromise for the green/black/purple treads on each shoulder and I bet you anything autists are still somehow upset over it.
>>5290382
Doing well*
>>5289733
I'm trying to remain and wait for TW but every pic I see drives me closer to the edge...
This is suppose to be Lockdown?
>>5290521
correct.
>>5290200
Why is this picture so weird?
Sphinx is dynamic as fuck thanks to the arms and the legs.
>>5289733
I really like the look of the weapon hat folded down into the truck. The shoulder plates go a long way in looking like plated armor that's supposed to be there and not vehicle bits dangling off.
>>5289449
He looks good, but I don't see the need for Legends combiners. I think the main purpose of small TFers is so they can scale better with the TFs that are supposed to be big, like Combiners or Base Robots.
>>5290521
Weird, seeing as he transforms into a jet. I guess Lockdown does change his body alot so maybe it fits.
Why does every 3P toy with a sword have to have Drift's sword design? Legends Overlord has Drift's sword, MMC Nova Prime has Drift's sword, MMC Sixshot has Drift's sword, Maketoys Laser Prime has Drift's damn'ass sword.
Design your own damn swords for once! cant be that difficult...
>>5289551
>>5289655
I'm not too interested in Astrotrain, but I do like the design.
We need more 3P designs that are true to G1, alot of them are different for the sake of being different and they dont fit into some collections.
Question though, why does astrotrain have Optimus prime's forearm arrows? looks out of place, no?
>>5290892
>I think the main purpose of small TFers is so they can scale better with the TFs that are supposed to be big
Maybe to you. I know a lot of other people (like myself) enjoy a nice, small toy with a simple transformation to fiddle with at their desks or whatever. It's way easier to mess around with a legends class Devastator than the monstrosities that other 3Ps and Hasbro are making. It's as simple as that.
Also, you contradict your own point. Wouldn't a Legends class Devastator also be in scale with a Titan, thus also fulfilling your perceived purpose for small toys?
>>5290894
they were there in the cartoon, I'm guessing
>>5290521
Who is making that ad are there any alt mode shots? I checked U.NEM's FB page and just see more bot mode pics. Looks like he's probably a cybertronian spaceship. Kinda lame but the bot mode is still pretty sick.
>>5291181

>>5289449

Want want want want want. But it might be delayed till next year (not that next year is far from now).

>Wouldn't a Legends class Devastator also be in scale with a Titan,
Oh, totally dude that makes sense. But what I mean is I like the regular dudes to be smaller than the dudes who are meant to be big, cause I love size differences like that
So here's a big longshot, but I thought I'd ask here first.
Does anyone happen to have a maketoys mobine set they'd be interested in selling? I just heavytread and he's awesome! I love him, but the PCC limbs just aren't cutting it. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting these when they were available and I can't find them for sale anywhere at all.
>>5291404
I like it but for the Price I could get Takara Devs.
>>5291996
Are you going to get Takara Devs?
Iron Factory wont let my wallet rest.
>>5292647
What is it?
>>5292655
It's Deadlock, Drift when he used to be a Decepticon
I'll probably buy this when they make a drift repaint
>>5292669
>>5292647
Is that Blitzwing?
>>5292697
Yeah, based on his War Within design.
MTMTE Cyclonus
>>5292647
No God Ginrai yet?
>>5292759
Doesn't really look like it, unless I guess they added their own "flair"?
knoe who needs a 3p
>>5292672
Finally preordered the Dinobots last night, looks like them and the car bros could possibly make it out this year since they're fully colored/painted?
>>5292864
I do. Omega Supreme. There exists no good Omega Supreme. Or Trypticon for that matter
>>5292784
>McCarthy
Yo bro, it's Guidi's design
Don't mess with the Guido
>>5292783
It's a retool of their Not-Lockdown.
Anybody know?
>>5292314
>>5293266
No more than $500 shipped. Keep in mind there is the KO now that is essentialy the same as warbotrons.
>>5293266
There is a KO out that is better quality that the original, for cheaper too.
I know TF direct has it.
>>5292901
I'm fond of Planet X Genesis.
>>5292864
We're getting god tier figures of both of them, and like their Metroplex these could easily work as non-SD figures if a company produced smaller heads.
>>5293754
"Diabolus Rex" has a bonus jet mode too.
>>5292647
When is someone going to make a Legends Rodimus? I'm sick of MP bullshit.
>>5293765
If it didn't have that hing joint in the middle of the ramp I would buy for the novelty of having a miniature play set. Also if it was a little bit bigger that ramp would be just the right size for Q-Transformers.
>>5293682
Planet X Genesis is a marvel to look at. I may get the Shapeshift toys to go with this guy
>>5293778
There's an official one out now
>>5293765
Why is Megatron with Trypticon? Isn't suppose to be Galvatron?
>>5293970
Thanks to the Scramble City OVA (And a bunch of Studio OX artwork) Trypticon and Plex were technically introduced before season 3,
>>5293868
>I may get the Shapeshift toys to go with this guy
I NEVER thought about that! If you get the toys please take pics, I love the games and would love to see diaramas like that
>>5293765
You know how people call Trypticon the original Zoid? well, this toy is Trypticon had he been in Zoids!
Tha thickness
>>5294172
>>5294176
Sweet lord. I don't even care about fitting in with MP's that's a fucking good size for a hulking bastard of a classics scale. It even KFC got BTFO pretty hard.
Their Arcee is looking great but its a shame it looks a bit taller than their constructicons. At this rate I'll have to get that and Iron Factories Iron Waifu v2 as well, seeing that here:
>>5292647
It looks like it has an ab crunch.

Wow, that Blitzwing looks crazy good, I hope the alt modes turn out as well as the robot mode.
Jesus christ, Iron Factory, you're killing my wallet. These are amazing and they are just cranking them out.
I've already canceled my preorder for Planet X's Grimlock because my whole toy budget is basically dedicated to Iron Factory at this point (and DX9 to a lesser extent).
>>5294925
It looks like they all have the same alt mode : randomly folded shit.
>>5294463
>what's this another lameass dinobot ugh whatev-

Oh my god, the rest of those reveals aren't doing anything for me, but goddamn am I a sucker for legends scale jets. No pics of Prowl and co.'s altmodes though?

Dat clean ass back
TFC time.
Looks like TFC finally did something with their combiner fists. Shame it isn't integrated but this is the next best thing considering they just had you toss them aside before.
>>5295007
Those chest fangs are fucking awesome.
>>5295031
looks briddy good in vehicle mode like missile pods or something.
>>5295003
>>5295007
This guy looks superb. I've wanted 3P Seacons since forever, and TFC seems to be doing them right. Hopefully they won't have any QC issues like the ones that ruined Ares.
Also, I wonder if they'll do a Scylla? If so I actually hope they do a redeco of it in G1 Seacon colours (maybe to match Overbite so that there's 2 of each limb colour palette?) so that we can have a squiddy fembot on the team without having her stick out like a sore thumb.
>>5295051
>Hopefully they won't have any QC issues like the ones that ruined Ares.
What was wrong with Ares? No one ever really talked about it other than TFC bashers saying it sucked because it's from TFC.
>>5295083
Well I only have Skullface's review to go by, but his tolerances are kinda iffy, and the combined mode really suffers for it. Granted that was just one review but it does worry me. I might still get him as A: I'm fairly adept at fixing looseness in figures, B: Feral Rex is nigh on impossible to get in the UK, and C: I really don't like Feral Rex's aesthetics at all.
>>5294406
>That 'transformation' was an outrage.
Accurate to the source material, though
Here's one more Iron Factory photo that hasn't been posted, colored samples of the WW Dinobots. I think (?) these are still missing some paint apps like Blitzwing they showed today.
>>5295336
And, I forgot to say, I'm still curious about how they'll integrate the 'extra' member. Either they'll still turn into a gun (which means those joints better be really sturdy) or just combine somehow with the torso. I doubt it'll be Scramble City but I also doubt they'll just leave someone out.
>>5295770
You'll get a squid with legs and you'll like it, young man!
>>5295028
I love me some drill tanks.
>>5295032
Do TFC Drillhorn and Killbison share the same mold?
>>5295095
Combiners tend to have some issues in gestalt mode regardless of the company. It usually centers around the combiner joints just not being able to hold up the weight but to what degree varies. Feral Rex, for example has a bitch of a time in the shoulders, especially when he's got his sword and gun. Warbotron's Bruticus has some issues with the combiner joints being to strong and thus other parts start to pull apart during posing. He also has some problems with the ankle joints where the ratchets are partially made with clear plastic so that also doesn't help but that was more a base design choice issue than joint tolerance. I seem to recall one of the Dinobot combiners also having several issues with tolerance. It just seems to be no matter who does them, gestalt modes just don't come out perfectly and suffer from joint tolerance and clearance problems just because of the nature of the figures. You're sticking several big heavy figures with a fuckload of moving parts together into an even larger, heavier figure with all the same moving parts. No matter what considerations are taken, things are going to collide and joints are going to give under the pressure of the weight.
Granted, I also saw Skullface's review and while the guy is sometimes a hamfisted idiot, it seemed to be some legitimate problems with Ares.
My first Fans Toys bot. Super impressed. Is their stuff this good?
>>5296824
*All their stuff this good?
>>5291979
If I rememberight, the Mobine sets either had a very limited run or didn't make it to production at all.
If they did, it was only one of the two color schemes.
Only way I know of to get one is to go for the complete Chaos Paladin figure.
Which is a really fun figure imo.
>>5297175
Boo. That's a shame.
Although, I've been focusing almost exclusively on legends lately, so having a Fallen in that scale would be good.

There was issues with what they were getting from the factory leading to a delayed smaller run than planned so they voild recoup costs and move on. The marine type could still be preordered when that was announced but for the more popular jungle type you were shit out of luck if you hadn't preordered.

This is actually very entertaining when you consider the complicated nature of being a combiner.
Many times there were problems because certain bots just couldn't work together, making the combined form very unstable. Many of the Decepticon combiners were so absolutely unstable that it was a wonder they vould function at all.

Is Chaos Paladin worth getting you think? He looks pretty cool.
What about the Iron Army limbs? I wish there was more pcc stuff, it has a lot of potential.
>>5297270
All the Ares limbs had PCC ports for some reason. They held together better than they did as Ares at least.
>>5297270
>Is Chaos Paladin worth getting you think?
I had it and sold it. Not a bad toy, but not maketoys best effort.
>>5297269
Are we talking toy wise or character wise, because what you said applies to both.
>>5297270
I have him and like him, but I mostly like him for his design. His posability sucks in both forms, the transformation is pretty terrible, his sword can't be held if it's split, and the core figure is dog-shit.
Lot's of play value though and looks really good paired with Maketoys Nemisis.

Good fucking luck.

Shit I'd buy a line of OC transforming bots if they moved away from the blocky humanoids that Transformers typically are and ended up that clean.

FansToys is generally regarded as one of the best 3P companies along with Mastermind Creations and MakeToys.
Mixed feelings on Gundog. While he looks good and fits in with the official MP's I'm just not left feeling satisfied with him. I don't like how neither the shoulder cannon nor waist click into place. Transformation while simple is annoying trying to get things to line up perfectly. Esp the doors in which you have to use some force and I fear seeing stress marks on the tabs when I transform him back.
Newest garage kit by Basil.
Mandy's your best bet.

I should have clarified, a good Legends Rodimus that's worth my money.

Scoria has a shitty MP-8 waist with heavy legs which leads to super floppyness during transformation and Soar has a couple of fragile parts on his knee. Otherwise they're the best unofficial figures quality wise.
One of the best 3rd party bots I have bought this year.

>has a shitty MP-8 waist with heavy legs which leads to super floppyness during transformation and Soar has a couple of fragile parts on his knee
so... Hasbro quality then?
>>5298553
Can't wait for mine to come in... I don't even have it yet and i'm already considering buying the black repaint.
>>5298553
He looks solid, and I'm sort of realizing he's one of the last guys I'd need to complete the wreckers cast, but christ it's just such a goofy design. I don't know if I can hold on to a transformer with a throwaway alt mode either, I liked warden but I never bothered with his tank mode because it was similarly stupid.
I'm on the fence though, what would you say you like about him?
>>5296824
I think I like MMC Bombshell more. Tidier shoulders.
Fanstoys might have the better Kickback though
>>5297270
Iron Army is total shit. The tank guys are okay but the planes are just ass. The Hands don't even get full range because of the planes' shitty designs.
Seriously, it's criminal that these were sold.
Unless you have them exclusively in limb mode and with gorilla arms all the time, don't bother
>>5298562
>I don't even have it yet and i'm already considering buying the black repaint.
Yeah, I just ordered the turmoil repaint from PSE last night.
>>5298576
>I'm on the fence though, what would you say you like about him?
Well, I really like the way he looks, alt mode included. I like his alt mode a lot as well, I used to love metal slug, so there is that. On top of that, hes just super solid man, not a loose joint on him. Every thing just lines up perfectly and really works together. Say what you will about MMC designs, but their engineering and QC is second to none.
You can literately pick this thing up by the arm and nothing moves, I love it.
>>5298576
>what would you say you like about him?
On the other side of that, the only complaint I have is that his pistons in tank mode, while they LOOK really really, restrict the turrets left and right movement.
>>5298591
>I think I like MMC Bombshell more. Tidier shoulders.
I might end up getting him as well, you cant have too many insecticons.
>>5298811
Of course you can always just disconnect the pistons to move the turret.
>>5298808
Oh, wow.

>Come with extra sword!
He didn't. Still, I absolutely love him. He's the first 3rd party figure I bought in a long time and I can't put him down. I even love his base mode !
>>5299107
The only thing I don't like is how loosely his ramp attached to his back in robot mode and that his leg pieces don't attach in base mode.
I prefer this base mode, it's more solid.
>>5299113
Nice, that looks pretty sweet.
>>5299107
Remember and use that ab crunch for some more dynamic angles, I love getting him in stupid JoJo poses
>>5299140
Honestly, legends is probably the best rabbit hole to fall down. Takes up less room, good quality so far, and cheaper than other third party stuff.
>>5299162
man that cyclonus and galvantron looks baller
what are they from?
>>5299167
DX9, the same group doing Hulkie.
>>5299167
Cyclonus is my biggest disappointment of the IF/DX9 legends. Needlessly bad design decisions like the floppy nosecone and lack of thigh swivels bring it a few notches below the others. Iron Factory's Windblade has a nearly identical transformation with neither of those shortcomings.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT I didn't even know he had an ab-crunch !
Holy shit do I feel dumb.
>>5299237
>ab-crunch
You mean a dong-thrust joint?
>>5296084
Looks like they're different molds but share the same engineering.
