Another review of the FATTY....
-
That the Landing mode (Standby Mode) on the FATTY is different, was clear! That people can't transform the models properly was the only thing I was trying to convey in my previous post! In a previous post that I posted it was made clear that the two leg panels have to be pushed down after the legs are fully extended to be able to engage (Standby Mode) In the TV anime "Armored Trooper Votoms," the Fatty serves as the Balarant Army's main AT. In addition to the main body, the HI-METAL R kit includes optional parts like the G-BATM 04 Catapult Launcher and G-BATM-02 Hardblade Gun, and Cutter Claw working the wiring of Battleship X, as well as a Balarant soldier pilot figure. This set allows you to recreate every scene from the series. The Fatty is said to have been developed after studying captured Scopedogs, but its landing system differs from that of the Gilgamesh Army's ATs in that its legs extend forward. In HI-METAL R, the unique accretion pose can be recreated using the built-in mechanism. Let's take a closer look at the transformation process. First, have the figure sit with the joint axis at the base of the legs swung forward. At this time, stretch both legs out in front of you. Even in this position, it can still sit stably. Deploy the landing joint parts from the exterior of the thighs and lower legs. By moving the panel-like thigh parts inside, you can create space for the landing joint parts to move. By raising the landing joint parts into the space created by the panel parts and bending the lower legs, Fatty's distinctive landing pose is achieved. And it is clear in this picture from the (X) Twitter post, that the panels weren't pushed in! and here as well! the panels are in the closed position and not pushed down.....

The panels that have to be pushed in to transform in to Landing Mode (Standby Mode) can only be done when the legs are fully extended! I'm sure Bandai tested this thoroughly before release.... Mine won't come till mid January so until then can't say anything further, But since I saw lots of pictures, off even the Scopedog not being transformed properly into standby mode, I say they are probably missing something!? Correct! Incorrect... Incorrect!... Incorrect... Mine correct! and the hands are not touching the ground! The ATM-09-ST deos Standby Mode perfectly, but you need some time to do it properly since the joints are very stiff! I'm sure something wasn't extended properly to be able to push down the panels that's needed to be able to transform the fatty into (Standby Mode)!
