Glorious. Excellent review, thank you Optibotimus!... So if I recall correctly this figure will be released around january in the USA, right? I wonder if you can combine both Guns AND the drone, to create the mother of all BFGs...
The combining weapons are undoubtedly meant as a nod to his weapon in the comics which has a similar shape and is also huge.
He does look nice, but the lack of thigh swivels makes him a hard purchase we'll see how I feel about it when see him on the shelf
I wasn't all that impressed, but now he's looking much better. I'm lookin forward to this guy now! I do wish he were a voyager, but he's still looking pretty cool.
This! awesome figure and i will get one now matter the cost , err how long it takes a difficult transformation doesn't necessarily make a figure better.
Looks like another figure, I originally had no interest on getting, that I will buy thanks another one of Optibotimus's review, along with the Stormbringer TPB
Makes me glad I have him on pre-order, when before I wasn't thrilled I had to buy him to get Kup. Now it's like, thank god I'm getting him with kup. xD
Will be mine (even more so than before...will definitely be cooking up a quad-barrel cannon and a Matrix for him, too).
In 2010 assume robot fetal position and fold backpack over head should not be an acceptable transformation. I got bitten by Universe 2.0 Silverbolt (which was laughably simple especially for the price) and I'm not getting sucked in by this. Easy pass. Not shutting up. Not going to play with a rubiks cube.
He dont need to be a voyager class fig, just look at cyclonus, he was deluxe and came out tall, but it is a shame they couldnt reach cyclonus height with him (what made cyclonus the size he is? was it longer legs?)
Nice review. I don't mind an easy transformation just as long as the overall figure looks good. Thankfully, this one does IMO.
I don't know if anyone saw this when I posted it before, but has anyone else thought that this mold would make an awesome/good retool/paint for Jhiaxus? Here is a kit bash I did real quick. Note the g2 logos on the wings. he might go real well the recent representations of other gen-2 characters.
