    Agreed.

    Uh...why are the feet chrome? Seems a little pointless, as that's one of the easiest places for it to chip off.

    I.know I can search a large thread for info on this figure but I'm.not.interested.in.reading the gravity bots thread.with this piece of junk.phone I.have today. Can anybody.pm me info/images of this figure?. I.didn't see it for sale at bbts or.hlj

    2015/2016 sized legends scale. For us OG's its like scout scale. Or commander size is the other class its been.rendered. nothing like movie 1 or Cybertron legends :p 

    I preordered mine at Bigbadtoystore for $52.99. picturesque Still expensive but $60 is out of the question til I see reviews and close ups. Espesh on t head

    Does anybody remember how awful MP-11 head sculpt looked before it was in our hands? I'm hoping Megatron has depth that is messing up pictures of him

    Head sculpt is awesome. Looks good overall, except his chest is just weirdly big/disproportionate-looking to me to the point of probably passing on this. The chrome feet are weird but it could just be a prototype thing.

    This thing... looks so bad imo. Between this and their travesty of an Arcee, I think they're done. Kup even looks terrible. I honestly don't know how they keep making money. Are their MPs worth anything? It's not my scale so I don't know how they are.

    Nope. I know they have solid figures but both.legends scale "war for pocket" ratcheys i had sucked. First one his shoulder flap came with a broken hinge. Also his arm falls off look at it wrong. Next one was opposite side shoulder flap but it didn't fit in ambulance mode. The.wheels would NOT roll And.his head had paint defects a cross his face. Then reviews I saw of DX9.HULKIE he had parts falling off the combining feather IMO didn't look super thought out or secure

    Thanks many! Exactly what I meant fo'sho

    Holy smokes Batman! IF is IMO.a better all.around design/designer, and I'm not sutebin hand and playability if this Generation Toys version is better worse but if I had to guess less solid since its a model kit on.a few sprues(do I have that right?)

    But looks wise BY WAY THE PICTURE LOOKS, its killing the dx9 one. Less money too?

    I have to say Gravity Builder does look good, better than Mightron even. But with an Achille's heel...the backwards cannon. It niggles me looking at those photos even. Can you buy it individually without buying all the not-constructicons though? Think I'll probably still stick with Mightron...

    The canon is just put on wrong, undoubtably it can be put the right way. Little is known about the product yet i don't think.

    I may get both, they are very different asthetically so i can swap and choose inhand, i won't do this for many characters but will make the exception for megs. Mightron is very g1 faithful but with quirks(excellent), this guy is other bulky style(also needed). They are both guns which is excellent, they both have ugly face sculpts which is not so great.

    My Ratchet had problems, too. I suspect that the molds they had created for Ironhide weren't strong enough for a second production run, leading Ratchet to suffer from some mold degradation issues. My Hulkie, on the other hand, is dead solid - nothing is even slightly loose. None of my non-Ratchet War in Pocket figures have any QC issues.

    As long as the Gravity Bot isn't some almost impossible to get pain in the ass limited dealy that involves buying six Faux-MP Constructicons I don't want I'll get one.

    It's Megatron, I'll cope having both.

    QC. Generally it's been ok to pretty good on War in Pocket. Rachet had the problems with the arm panels and Cyclonus had the loose/warped nosecone but that's been about it for me. I had their Hulkie and sold it on within twelve hours of getting it - they really weren't the Droids I was looking for.......

    This guy will be.

    i suppose we all have our fixations when it comes to our collection. I, personally, don't want to have multiple characters (i do have some). Part of the point of legends scale is to reduce space needed, so I wan't to reduce to the minimum. that said if dx9 make some g1 dinobots .... :drool:  ... well... i just hope they do so before i get some wst to go with IF dynobots
