    Thanks for the review Mike. That said I despise TR Galvatron and prefer the Universe one that turns into a tank. If it only would have been a Voyager instead of a Deluxe.

    I’m more confused why MMC never did a OX Predaking. I mean they made one in Reformatted almost a decade ago and no G1 MP Predaking exists that is more than leaked line art.
  3. Scyla
    The design line art was leaked a while back and this looks like a finished product that you can order and is scheduled for release in May. If this is an April fools joke it is the most elaborate I‘ve ever seen.

    Since it hasn’t been reported yet. MMC is introducing a new line called Infinitefinity and on April 1st revealed the first toy Eris a female Tarn or maybe Deathsaurus‘ wife (who knows): Check out TFW for more images: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/ocular-max-if-01-eris-kultur.1190995/ I‘m a sucker for purple transforming robots so I will getting it for sure. But the line is about characters reimagined so I want something else from it like a G1 MP Barricade and Drift. It is a Planet Steel Express exclusive with no free shipping for the preorder.

    Well, at least you can buy them individually so you don’t end up with an Bumblebee that you have no use for.

    I lucked out today. Got my VF-4A and the screw hole cover in front of the cockpit was missing. Somehow it was squeezed between the inner and outer clamshell so no ugly holes in my Valkyrie!!

    To be technically correct the Warbotron one was a kit and not a toy. [edit:] I need to get me one of those Alternators Shockblasts
  8. Scyla
    I think this is the third one. You had the Porsche Shockblast from NewAge and the Iron Factory one. Additionally NewAge is planning to release a G1 Shockwave but they only released renders I think.

    Even if it is not shown in the pictures for the Black Tri Stars, the original Zaku came with a stand so I could see that this will come with a stand as well. Especially since the stand wasn’t included in the promotional images for the original Zaku as well.

    Well at least this Galvatron provides ample opportunities for the 3rd party manufacturers to create upgrade sets like new legs, new arms, news chest and a new head.
  11. Scyla
    I‘ve seen these body proportions before: There is no reason why the arms should have these proportions since they are only used for the cannon struts in alt-mode. @mikeszekely sigh indeed.
  12. Scyla
    It is very odd looking indeed.

    @Hikuro I think one part that can prevent the legs from collapsing are the blue plates in the back of the legs. If they are not aligned just right the can jam up the sliding joint. Bobby Skullface shows this in his review I think.

    Got my Earthrise Cyclonus yesterday and he is good. He is like a miniturized version of FT Quietus (or the XTB one) but fun to handle. I just wished someone would call Hasbro (and third party) and convince them to stop use swirly plastic or plastic with glitter in them to make them look metallic. It looks absolutely horrible on Cyclonus and every other toy that tried it. Just use flat plastic or paint it.

    Funny enough, Optus Pexus was the first one that came to my mind too. Other recent releases I can recommend are Planet X Coeus (Shockwave) and MMC Mnemo and Morif (MtmtE Chromedome and Rewind) two pack. Coeus has the same quirks that all Planet X figures share like a lack in fit and finish but it is nicely sculpted and painted figure. Mnemo and Morif are high tier MMC releases. Fun to transform and play with, even if I wished that Motif had a more involved transformation, like expanding the chest so he has a more defined torso.

    First look at Leader Class Galvatron: Not feeling the head sculpt and if he is Voyager size I don’t know where the Leader price point comes from. However he looks so much better than TR Galvatron so I’m in. Only need Earthrise Nemesis Prime and War for Cybertron gave me everything I wished for.

    Yeah, the finished ISD looks good but I feel he is even more unwieldy than the UCS Falcon. I really hope we get another USC Imperial Shuttle. The last one (which I don’t have) was done in white where I would see the light blueish gray as the more appropriate color choice. Also the shape of the cockpit really throws off the model as a whole.
  18. Scyla
    Big and colorful.
  19. Scyla
    We demand justice!

    I don’t understand why Rodimus is a Commander Class toy when Optimus Prime is a Leader Class and comes with a trailer. Is he taller (i.e. out of scale) than Optimus? I would have expected that for the Commander price point he comes with a core Hot Rod, that can armor up to become Rodimus and that has the trailer. As is I don’t see how this fits the price point. Especially when you look at the pictures in isolation.

    @mikeszekely The biggest issue with Tyrantron is that R-40 Jaguar (Ravage) came with fillers for the holes in his forearms but not a comic accurate fusion canon, even if Ravage plays an integral part in the use of that weapon.
  22. Scyla
    And then you can’t buy it because of a chip shortage. [edit:] The only thing I want from a Switch successor is a flip out stand that doesn’t suck. It is the one thing I loathe on that system.
  23. Scyla
    I’m on the other side of the spectrum. Super hyped for the Full Cloth and the X3 has such a pleasant shade of blue.
  24. Scyla
    Well the X3 would be a re-mold of the previous Crossbones. Which you could just pump out as a TWE release on the side. While the others are all new molds from my understanding. Since I can’t read Japanese I can’t tell what the announcement poster says. But it seems like a bigger deal than just a re-mold.
  25. Scyla
    I assumed this would be the announcement of the Metal Build X3 Crossbone Gubdam. Is it not?
