Cant wait for my copy to come in. But on the other hand, i hope it wont be 8 months to get the next figure. And also, keep making idw mp and ill keep giving money.

 

We don't know how this will turn out, but the scale is in line with TFM's Havoc (Menasor), Warbotron's combiners, and GenerationToy's Gravity Builder... as well as the bot and alt modes of most G1 MP-scale figures.
MakeToys Guardia, while it looks amazing, is not in the same scale class. It's meant to match most mainline/Generations/HasTak figures.

 

Got this in yesterday! The instructions are meh, so I didn't use them. Easy to transform, very intuitive. Scales perfectly with this Police Defense bot, which is part of a Defensor style K.O.

2 more pics. This is for an alternate transformation of the forearms. It allows the arm panels to lock in better, and also for the parts on the back of the forearms to sit flat.

 

I received mine from baba in 10 days, now that's pretty fast......

I haven't opened him yet, but that will happen soon enough.....

 

I still haven't received mine yet from TF-Direct. It's only been 8 days, which technically isn't that long from China to London, but my last 3 packages from ShowZ have all got to me in 3 days, so my standards have been raised.

Damn you for being so good, ShowZ.

 

Was hoping for mine to show up today, but it seems like it may be tomorrow. USPS just says 'On track, but arriving late'

DaimChoc Reports - ダイムチョック・リポーツ

 

I'm late to the party on this set but began with Katana recently. I wanted to 'taste test' before going in on Motor as well. Katana definitely suffers from tab ins galore, but it's not all that bad since the tabs go where they should and everything holds together. He's a bit delicate in places and a few times I felt as if I better take extra care lest he break; however, once he went together he looks the part on a shelf in bot mode. Also, (lest I give too much credit to bot) the alt mode is absolutely stunning. Not a fan of the rubber parts used on the external antennas, as they warp over time, but warped antennas is a small price to pay for what is otherwise a stellar effort. I'm not sure what else to say that hasn't already been said since Katana has been out for awhile by the time I'm writing this. I guess I'll add that I didn't feel as if I'd wasted my money, so I pulled the trigger on Motor this morning.

Still not sure if I'm going all in on this set, so Sarge is a purchase I'll save for later, but for now I'm satisfied.

 

I'm always so nervous of those brake levers on motorcycle transforming toys.

 

It's funny because I felt Katana was the weakest of the bunch so far. Don't get me wrong both of his modes look great, I just felt the quality I was used to was lacking. So if you really like Katana, definitely get Sarge as he's a really solid figure. Im definitely going to be all in with this set

 

I second this opinion.

 

I was ready to be disappointed with Katana, but both bot/alt mode were more appealing to me than Sarge so I went with Katana first. At a hunny a piece I wanted to make sure I got the most bang out of my buck just in case I wasn't blown away and wanted to bail out after just one figure.

 

I really loved Sarge. Katana was a bit of a let-down just for being overly delicate in places but still happy with. Will hopefully be happy with this guy too, once he gets here. (Fricking USPS had it sorted wrong and it left San Jose last week and ended up in frigging Lexington, KY. I'm in Oregon. -_-)

 

Two positives in favor of Sarge make me excited for him as well. Munnies don't grow on trees though, so I'll hold solid at Katana and Motor for now. Thanks though folks!

 

Sarge is a crap shoot on getting stiff shoulders, but a little future on the pins fixed that. Just received Katana and Motor, can't wait to get home from work and inspect them!

 

Its kind of surprising how beefy he looks. Like at first glance I would have though he transforms into a car.

 

I have to say, after tinkering with him for a bit he's definitely my favorite of the set so far

 

Mine arrived today. Everything seems fine, save the handlebar piece had one of the grips snapped off. Have contacted ebay seller so don't expect much of an issue on that front.  

 

Got mine today but not had long to fiddle with it.
The important question is... where to put Autobot logos  



What's with the extra handlebars? Is it just still ones to replace the rubber versions?
