    Not anymore though :(  Same figures as hasbro now. It used to be exciting to see TT stuff but now it's literally the same figures but months later.

    I got to transform him tonight. It is a step above Peru Kill in technical transformation but not too high above.

    That may be the closest I’ve ever come to an orgasm while doing anything other than what is commonly expected in order to produce one. Love and awesomeness were poured into this figure.

    Does he have a few flaws? Yes, but I don’t care. The smokestacks, both top and bottom are not great. His toes not holding firm definitely is less than desirable. But those things just fall away when you transform that robot into that truck and then step back and go.....whoa.

    Bravo Unique Toys. You amaze me.

    ordered mine on sunday and got it today

    first transformation was tricky but thanks to EMGO's JTI i got through it with no drama.

    mine seems to be in perfect condition apart from some slightly loose hip swivels.

    this is an amazing transformation from start to finish.
    transforming back from truck to bot was a breeze even without instructions or a video, and the 2nd transform from bot to truck was simple.

    it boggles my mind how someone worked out how to design this thing from bot to truck and for it to look so amazing in both modes.

    i am almost exclusively a G1 style masterpiece collector but these UT movie bot figures are just too amazing in their engineering for me to pass up.

    Well, I got my replacement Challenger in today, and the headlights seem firmly attached, BUT it's missing one of those teeny tiny pins that the shoulder pad hinges on. Does anyone know the dimensions of one of those tiny pins? I'll buy one and hammer it in myself if I know what to type into Amazon.

    Got mine yesterday. After checking, there is no defect. Already transforming it from bot to truck, truck to bot.
    The transformation is quite complex yet so user friendly, so my 2nd transformation doesn't need to read the instruction again.

    Unfortunately, my Lockdown dagger is broken at the handle when in the package. Now I have to wait the result after mending it with glue.

    A single, centimetre long pin? Shipped all the way from China? Surely that would be an extravagant waste.

    Nevertheless, you should let the seller know you received a defective product.

    I looked at the instructions enough to get how the arms are transformed then I left them aside and have never looked at them again. The exact positioning of the shoulder pads and all that is the only part that I couldn't guess on my own. Shows what a fun and intuitive transformation it is!

    Ok, so the dagger is for Perukill? What about the staff and the little chromy-missile thing (what is it?)?

    Big staff is for your transformer. Little staff is for human alliance figures. The (upcoming?) UT/DX9 Hot Rod comes with a Vivian human alliance figure that can hold the little staff.

    Great figure. The only problem is that changing the heads is a mess. The screw was so adjusted that it’s impossible to remove without breaking it.
