Recently opened Turbo Ejector and man, what a figure! He's big, hefty, solid, and just awesomely designed in both modes! Afterburner was the only G1 Technobot I had as a kid and he's hitting all the nostalgia buttons for me.

As cool as the bot mode is (the shoulder articulation is a little limited due to the kibbly bits there but it's not a deal breaker by any means), I've totally loving his Cybertronian cycle mode. It's like a beefed up Tron Batpod. That said, I did notice that the silver paint apps on the translucent orange windscreen that appear in promo test shots seem to be missing in the final release. Not a huge deal, but still curious.

Looking forward to the rest of his brothers!

 

Hands down better than any of the Combaticons. Solid, tight, ratcheted, weighty. Swindle is closest in quality imo. Buy him, you'll not regret it.

Yup, I picked him up today to get pics with Vortex and Blast Off and he's so awesome. The shoulders can get some decent poses, my only issue really are the arms are a touch too long but posing can remedy that.

Really psyched for Lightspeed.

 

Got this a few days ago, finally opened. Very nice.

I think, unlike Warbotron Bruticus who is a bit too small for my tastes, this one will mesh nicely into an MP display.

 

Finally had a bit of spare time to finish my Afterburner off:



It's odd how they went so far with G1 and stopped at the last hurdle. Gonna get some better pics tonight when I can nick my wife's better camera phone. Arm mode too....I've not seen that in person yet.

 

I just noticed that on the sides of his torso where the two screws go from the back of the robot mode and connect to the front half has pretty bad stress marks... It looks like the screw was too wide and is stressed all around the sides... Anyone else see something similar or cracks on the side of the torso from the screw?

 

Looks great. Just added the cream coloured paint apps?

 

Cheers bud. Yup cream 'seat' and front wheel arm, orange ring in the middle of the front wheel mimicking the g1 sticker and blue eyes. Gonna get a pic I'm arm mode when my Mrs is back and I can use her better camera.

 

In stock @ The Chosen Prime...

 

Found a discarded Unicron hand so gave it a quick spray job to complete the look:



Combiner port is on a crazy tight ratchet and the thigh joints are solid. This is gonna be the combiner of the year. Calling it. Really can't wait for Lighstpeed.

 

This is the first third party figure that really gave me a warm fuzzy. Lol...its heavy, great transformation (I love both modes and can't decide which to display him in!) and I can't wait to get the rest of them!

 

So, I ended up making a mistake with this figure.

As I was transforming it, I was putting the clear cockpit parts together, but was having some issues with it until, suddenly, I snapped the tip of the glass portion off.

I've had the figure for a few months now so I doubt I'll be able to get a replacement, but I'll send an email off just in case I can get a replacement part for that, but assuming I don't, any suggestions on how to fix it?

 

Holy crap, I got my Turbo Ejector today and this is a huge step up over Warbo's Bruticus. And coming from someone who loves their not-Bruticus, this puts it to shame. Everything just feels premium on the figure, very impressed!

 

Yeah I agree with you. I got my Ejector yesterday. Feels a step up from the not-Combaticons. Though I think in general it seems Warbotron's figures are just getting better.

This not-Computron will be awesome.

 

It's hard to describe as it sounds daft but everything about him just seems better.....from packaging down to general feel. When you've got it in hand you'll see  

I still think this will be combiner of the year.

 

The build quality, the finish on the plastic, the joints/ratchets are solid, the packaging is beautiful. All that comes together very well to give the end user the impression that this is a higher quality product.

I have not been this pumped to finish a combiner team since Feral Rex.

 

Hi all, just got my not-Afterburner today and he is beautiful, he is my first WB figure but my flat mate has a complete not-Brutacus and the quality seems much better.

Two minor QC issues though is a very loose left heel ( not much of an issue now but will probably hang loose as Comps arm) and his left hand has rather a weak gun grip and his rifle tends to wobble about a bit in it.

Anyone had similar issues or any suggestions on how to repair/ modify them? Thanks in advance.
