Where did Master Made come from? They hit the ground running!

I saw their SDF a while ago and thought it was rather interesting, then saw Titan and was like these guys are doing some solid work. Diabolus finally sold me and now i'm in for OS.

This company is SO polished right from the get go. I wonder what else they've done and wonder what they'll do after all the citybots are finished.

Definitely a MM fan.

Release date when?
These look like final product shots. Surely it can't be long now?

 

August 20th, going by that first pic of the new batch.

 

Oh! Pfff. Completely missed that. Was blinded by the shiny new pictures.

 

Anybody know what the seal means by limited production? Possibly another run of Titan?

 

I didn't notice before the cannon becomes a hammer. Sweet.

 

no train tracks?

 

Am I the only one who wishes Master Made would make no SD versions of there there offerings?

 

Well, I kinda wish iron factory was doing the none se version, such as they are for scorponok.

 

Simply amazing

 

Sorry bout the late response, but he is amazing. He really is, the heft on such a small figure, and he is even cooler in person, I'm just amazed. SD done to perfection, can't ask for anything else. I hope they do other characters after the Citybots are done. Rex is one of the figures that I wish I could buy two of.

 

Wow, this figure really does look amazing. I've been tempted to get something from Master Made with each release and I'm such an Omega Supreme fan I just have to get this guy.

 

I picked up their Dominus Rex/Trypticon recently and absolutely love him. Love Omega Supreme as well and have this one preordered; if the quality is as good as Rex you will not regret getting Apollo.  

 

Awesome new pics! I love the idea of using the base mode as a repair or upgrade bay for Optimus. Every set of pics of this guy gives us awesome new options and configurations. Can't wait til the end of August! Assuming that really is the release date.

 

Not only is that base mode really great (probably the best out of all the Master Made figures), but the transformation looks really involved. Can't wait to see how everything folds around.

 

Hmm, I don't know, it looks basically as simple as the other two. Master Made doesn't seem too interested in complex transformations, which I really don't mind because the figures feel so sturdy without all the smaller moving parts, which goes hand in hand with their stylized SD aesthetic. But yeah, we'll see!  

The new pictures look great and I also really hope that 8/20 is not only the release date for Apollo but the date for new production runs of 01 and 02. I really need Titan in my collection!

Side note: I need to take some photos of Rex. Most people seem to pose him the old school way with his head high and tail low. I think he look so much more aggressive and dynamic when you have them more level with the tail flailing to the same side his head is turning. And one of the legs further back with the heel up. Man, such an amazing figure. My only issue is that they weren't able to get lights in the head (seriously, how nice would that look?).

The whole line is basically what I would consider my dream toys if I was a kid again. They look high-end, with high quality plastic and diecast but they still look chunky and toy-like which really just brings a smile to my face whenever they catch me eye.

 

Simple, yes, but it still seems that there are plenty of moving parts. Compare that to Metroplex who's basically just sitting down.
I'd say Apollo's around Diabolus's level or a bit more. There really seems to be a lot of moving bits in Apollo's legs alone. Then it looks like the whole upper body flips back and rotates around. Add on whatever needs to be done with the rocket and tank head, and I'd say there's a lot going on. By Master Made standards, anyway.

But I agree. I do enjoy their simpler transformations, which are perfect
for the SD aesthetic. On a side note, I'd just like to say Diabolus's splitting legs is some of the neatest transformation engineering I've seen in a while.

 

Chinese Reviewer Pancrazi just posted a review. Can't wait to get this guy.

Wow. That transformation rocks; I really like the spring-loaded parts in the legs. I do worry about the removable parts and springs wearing over time, though; I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I might get two just because of all the assembly involved.
