    Just got mine in. Initial thoughts is this guy is huge and some parts(feet) seem sturdy while others are a bit wobbly. Also some plastic swirl and nub marks remain which is disappointing. Overall like this guy but Blitz feels a bit rushed even for the delay.

    Kinda wondering if someone will bring out a replacement part to take onslaught out. Means could display him otherwise (just like in the cartoon!) and make him less top heavy

    I found a plastic tool in a junk drawer that fit in the knee key hole however it did not seem to tighten up the connection to swindle which is just odd. There a mod to be discovered

    Considering the combiner pants and how big bot mode is versus how small the truck scales, blitzkrieg is baffling

    OK, So TCP send out my Blitzkreig as well as Perfect effect Mega Dorgon on 10/18/18. It stated it was due to be received on 10/31. It is shipping Fedex Sure Post and I saw it be picked up in Chandler AZ where TCP is and be received in Phoenix AZ on 10/19. Well, The weekend happened and since then I have seen not movement on this package. I live in NY so usually I see many receive and depart messages as this is going ground. I'm worried that this package was lost in phoenix.

    I called to put a tracer on this package and should get a call today.

    Anyone else have this problem? Do you think they just forgot a departure scan?

    It’s fedex smart post and ups sure post. Both are the cheapest, slowest service possible where usps contracts with those companies to carry the package from one post office to another and then it’s finally delivered by usps. Since it’s a cheap service it has zero priority and stays on trucks for days. They either missed a scan or sitting in a truck. When I get free shipping from tcp if the use Fedex ground it’s a couple days, it they chose smartpost then it’s over a week.

    I hate FedEx.. My package is literally two hours away at their warehouse, yet is going to apparently take six more days to get to my house. Knowing my luck, they'll pull their typical drive by, slap a "3rd try" sticker on my door and force me to go pick it up anyway.

    Well, does anyone else have a way to get the G1 accurate head or is it only from taobao and chinese sellers?

    I like big bots and I can not lie. It was nice of TG and constructor to embrace Armageddon with open arms.

    Just got mine and I have to say I'm very happy. Knee connections could 100% have been done better but I also have combiners with worse knee connections. By far my most stable combiner though. Has he swayed? Yep, but its getting blown out of proportion. It literally just took moving a leg forward one ratchet or readjusting his hips forward or back.
    Very happy to have in my collection.

    It's available to China residents who purchased all their bots from China. Zeta verify this buy you taking a photo of Aramgeddon alongside the Zeta box serials.

    Post to their Weibo page and send them a link and screenshot to their email address. They charge you 12 yuan and it gets sent domestically.

    I have a Taobao seller who was gracious enough to be my China delivery address so it's sitting with them. I'll get it shipped out with my yellow Fantasy Jewel lion at the end of the month. I got all my Zetas from China.

    Here's a pic of the head from Weibo. Apparently it lights up also...

    I cancelled mine from TFS today as well. They are just way too slow. I could've had it twice from ShowZ by now.

    Took out Onslaught to mess with him a bit. Super beefy bot, but he cleans up better than the other zeta combaticons. He does look pretty plain with the solid blue chest. I wish they would have incorporated more of that olive brown from the cartoon into his arms, because that would have really broken it up nicely.

    Transformation is fun. Ends up looking the part in both modes. I dig him as a stand alone figure. Only one real gripe so far. I don't understand why companies don't put heel spurs on their figures, especially with a character like this. Giant cannons on the back? Check. Heel spurs for stability with giant twin cannon backpack? Nope.

    the fact that they the fact that they have the G1 accurate head and haven't released it in the US market makes me feel like they're going to come with an entire G1 accurate torso kit later on. Which is kind of underhanded, but then again kind of not, because these figures generally seemed to be going for more of a toy aesthetic than the other versions anyway
