eugimon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 got mp-10b. Just some quick thoughts and comparing him to hasbro's mp-10 release. He's a LOT tighter out of the box. The little screws that hold his windshields in place on the chest seem to be properly sized and don't stick out. The cab portion of mp-10b is painted in a nice glossy piano black and it looks great. Overall there's more paint apps on 10b than on 10.He looks great, happy I decided to pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugimon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) yup, painted. looks great edit: there's a couple of flubs like painted over lint, a few nicks, some orange peeling, etc, it's definitely paint.

Renato Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh dear god, no... They really are repeating history. This is exactly what they did for Beast Wars back in the 90s. They didn't show the last few episodes of the series and then made their own bizarre show. Transformers Prime ended in Japan a few weeks ago, they cut out the last two minutes of the 2nd season cliffhanger and said OK, that's a wrap, thanks kids! Does Optimus survive? Who cares! Buy the toys! Goodbye! I guess we can completely forget about season 3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you didn't have a chance to bid on my Seekers set that I put on eBay a few years ago. I had all of the originals MISB, including the Skywarp/Ultra Magnus combo.

So this takes place after the events of Season 3 of Prime, which they aren't going to show in Japan? This makes NO SENSE. TV? Who cares? Buy the Blurays! Goodbye! I did... Remember I put an episode onto your PSP? That was from my US disc. Of course, you can't get the show on BD in Japan, they're DVD-only, dub-only.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I never did find FoC Grimlock around here, but I totally scored and snagged Springer and Blitwing at Target today!

mikeszekely Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I really want Blitzwing and Springer... but alas, Transformers are getting scarce in my area. Walmart doesn't even have any Beast Hunters besides Voyager Optimus and Predaking. I was able to score a Smokescreen at Target, though.

David Hingtgen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have nothing to offer that every other review hasn't already said, other than I think jet mode looks worse from the side than anyone else has mentioned. And I actually liked Octane/Tankor more. His truck mode was at least decent from most angles, and held together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD Blade Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The nosecone doesn't fit well, and the shoulders don't tab properly in bot mode. Baltmatrix the Youtube reviewer modded his Blitzwing to correct those problems. Easy mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Right out of the box, Blitzwing is a bust. It's a fiddly mess whose tabs just won't stay in place. I'll see if those mods do the trick, but I shouldn't have to. I'm hoping Springer will bring some redemption out of this wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 My biggest beef with it is actually the fact that its mere existence now means no 3P or MP version for years to come. Blitzwing deserves better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 After some fiddling around, it's clear Springer is definitely the better of the two toys. Bot mode looks fantastic and with waist articulation, it makes for some dynamic looking poses. With less kibble and empty spaces, Springer's alt modes are less contrived than poor Blitzwing's. It's so good, it just might replace Warbot Defender's spot on the shelf. Locking tabs are solid, weapon integration is neatly done, it's about time Has/Tak did justice to a triple changer. It's a shame about Blitzwing, I had high hopes for him, but in the end, he's just a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually growing to like it. It's now a "VFA-10 Griffon", an assault valk made by a splinter colony. I mean it does have a slight aesthetic similarity to the Alpha fighter.
