Movie the best (MB?) are just repaints aren't they? SS is all original. I admit the upgraded ss ko blackout might get me, even though I have the ss, but I don't expect to love every figure that much. Avoiding getting every upgrade of the upcoming mpm starscream will be a challenge though.

They are a little bigger, but besides them (and maybe the shoulders) he's the most accurate overall. Best legs and feet by far, best proportions, and the only acurate biceps. His shoulder plates are a little thin but challenger's are a little too thick so...

With the shoulder pads stretched out smooth like that I don't mind them at all!

 

What do you mean accurate?

 

UT Challenger's shoulder pads are pretty spot on actually. This one looks like he forgot a part of his costume before the convention. They look like pieces of fabric that were added at the last minute, which is a shame because most of the rest of his body looks great, as you pointed out. Lack of decent shoulder pads might be more towards your personal preference, which is cool, but UTs are definitely the most accurate so far.

 

I mean his proportions are better, his legs and feet are shaped more accurate to the movie, and his bicep armor is the most accurate.

UT's shoulder pads are definitely the more accurate shape wise, but UT's seem slightly too blade-like, not as tapered. Thickness wise it looks like the real shoulders fall in between them. Mamba's shoulders still bother me a little, but not as much as the arms and legs of UT.

 

New images from the toy world thread!

 

Yeah, no. Those forearms are still ridiculously large. And that truck mode is a disaster.

 

Yes, the shoulder pads are thinner than people claim

 

Most of those images are from weird angles or stretched, but the couple that are more straight-on get your point across. Still UT is much much closer to how they should look and definitely more what my personal taste is. The flat pads make him look like a football player who forgot his pads. I can see that they become part of the truck hood which probably wasn't the best design decision, especially since it adds several hinges and panel lines to the truck mode.

 

Is it masterpiece scale
 

 

Only find out this now. And, the truck mode look so cool.
not accurate to the real truck in movie. But it look so bulked and give of a combat vehicle feel. Love it. doesn't like the truck in movie anyway.
It is black mamba, so do that mean it won't higher price than the black apple prime ?

 

The mood was purchased by Toyworld and they are releasing it as Knight Orion

 

Shame. And i didn't realize they are the same. I guess they change the design a bit. Doesn't realize this truck at all

 

It's the same truck in most places. TW has just changed a bit of bot details and accessories. Maybe because you were familiar with TW's coloured prototype.

 

It just feel completely different, it do look familiar when i put them together side by side
But after stare at them for a while, i see what going on here. This BMM one have a thick layer in the hood, toyworld have thinned this to none. And some sculpts seem smaller. TW one also look longer at width. The front wheel of BMM feel bigger
