I'm totally out of the loop on the HMRs. Are these still 1/100? Is the Kai perfect transformation/no part swapping? Are the landing gear built in?

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
danth replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Man, I could not be more tickled with my KO Yamato Jetfire. It looks so great. I kinda want to buy another! I also want to buy an old G1 Jetfire now. But when I went to look on eBay, I bought an old Takatoku 1S instead...and it was pricey. Long story short, this dang Jetfire knockoff has gotten real expensive!

Can anyone recommend a glue for the hand cover? I assume this thing is ABS. I've searched the forums and for toys I see people recommend regular Krazy glue or super glue. I have some Duco Plastic Model cement but it's for polystyrene.
-
Update: Fixed! I drilled into the hole carefully and eventually the whole bit of offending plastic flew out. I guess a bit of flashing was stuck in there.
-
I got mine! It looks amazing. I have to fix some things -- one hand cover has come unglued from the hand, meaning it can fall out of the arm. Easy fix I hope! Just need to go buy some glue. The other hand seems to have some buildup inside causing the forearm halves to separate slightly. You know the two pegs that go into the wrists? One peg is hitting something. I might need to drill it out slightly. I need this too look perfect from behind...as it is, there is a millimeter gap between the two forearm halves. @tekering's pics make this thing look larger than life. It seems almost small in person! Plus I've gotten used to the 1/48 size I guess.
-
Same. It's embarrassing.
-
Damn that's a sexy butt shot. Not helping me wait for mine, which is supposed to arrive tonight! I used to stare at Jetfire from this exact angle as a kid. All the nozzles, the feet, even the exposed hands, it was pure eye candy. Having a Yamcadia version is going to be freaking bananas. Do we have an official nickname for knockoff Arcadia/Yamatos? Fauxcadias? Yamockos?

Hopefully this won't have the standard "jet with robot hanging underneath" alt mode.

Ravage with Speaker Pod alt mode! I think a Shockwave VF-1J would be cool. His head and legs are already pretty close.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
danth replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I suppose Jetfire was the original VF/TF mashup. A modern VF/TF crossover seems kinda funny since VFs already transform. I guess this M7 Transformer is just going to be a meh Transformers jet with a VF-19 Kai head and some TF logos?- 17378 replies

Ha! Okay, thanks for the info. I won't bother trying to get these to snap in then. Honestly the tabs do literally nothing other than showing that you have the legs/arms where they are supposed to be. They have no hold whatsoever. My left arm tab won't even go in at all. Seems pretty stupid.
-
Does anyone know how mushy the connection is supposed to be on the tabs on the back plate that stick down into the arms and legs in fighter mode? I can't really get mine to lock in but I'm afraid to press too hard.
-
Yay, someone who shares my sentiment! Glad you're happy with the markings. Great photo, it looks gorgeous! Damn I'm looking forward to this...mine can't get here soon enough!
-
This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen, collection wise. That 80's Bandai shipping box is rad.
-
Personally I love how this looks. It's a mashup. It's a Jetfire Valkyrie. I think of it as taking the Matsushiro Jetfire a little bit further into Macross territory. That said I admit it doesn't make much sense that the box is 100% Transformers and the toy printing is 100% Macross. But that makes it weirder in a way that sort of makes sense for a bootleg. Since Jetfire was my first Valkyrie (and only Valk as a kid -- I knew what it was and never had a real Macross valk until adulthood), this is so cool to me. It sort of retcons my childhood Jetfire into a Macross valk.
-
I definitely hate the faces, and Megatron and OP being bro-ey, and every deviation this will inevitably take from established canon. But I think this movie is going to be perfectly fine, if you can ignore the sacrilege. Most animated "kids" movies these days have better writing and stories than live action movies.

Thanks for the round up. Well, I opened mine, and no tail fin issues. The tail fins angle enough to get them vertical, I assume to align them for snapping into the back. But I wonder if it would have been wise to just allow them to fold all the way down. I want to transform it but I'm too afraid to touch that head antenna that everyone is breaking...

I watched it in a group of four people, and nobody thought it was good, but nobody thought it was as horrible as the comments in this thread would have you believe. Simply, not enough happened, none of the character relationships were compelling, only maybe two moments/lines were at all funny. I wouldn't say I was bored, but I definitely never felt excited or invested in anything happening. JLC was definitely underutilized. Blanchett's hair was distractingly cosplayish. Nothing was super cringe though. The world definitely felt like borderlands to me. But I was still left unsatisfied.

Holy crap. Did Hasbro just make a Raptor that doesn't suck?

It's Eddie Murphy in a Beverly Hills Cop movie. I'm not sure what you were expecting. 😁

Is nobody talking about Axel Foley or am I just way behind? Anyway, I watched it, and it's about as good as it could possibly be, considering everyone is 40 years older.
