    For the record

    At least from my experience

    Yall are crazy about the “annoying” transformation its simple af as long as you know what goes where

    First time for sure is annoying but after that its easy albeit not as fun as Id like

    annoying = no fun and will always be
    sure calling other crazy because they don't find fanstoys transformation intuitive should be new hobby :rolleyes:

    if you don't know about the character than
    DX9 Hanzo botmode > wolf mode > car mode > the rest.
    Bot mode is without argument best one
    wolf mode is good ish , most frustrating is get the front toe out since tight af and open mouth is tight too. But the leg transformation is the opposite of hydra and sure is joy to experience.
    car mode works well as expected, third wheel is distracting but can be removed.
    other meh

    Its not annoying tho lol you cant transform a complex figure one time and say its annoying of course its annoying its something new you have to figure out unlike a hasbro figure where you can for the most part just guess

    If you have DX9 Hanzo and find him intuitive then most 3PMP figures should be intuitive to you after the first transformation or so since Hanzo has decently complex engineering

    Regardless who buys a Sixshot for alt modes
    Not as natural because he’s set higher since Hydra’s knee bend is above the purple part but its doable

    Not gonna argue that Hydra has better articulation just that the pose you chose saying Hydra couldnt do is possible

    There is difference in executing transformation engineering
    While DX9 try to go simpler way with transform incorporating handling big block , fanstoys went witb using panels after panels and so many hinge its not desigining transformation for the sake of interestkng , instead they went the Soul of chogokin route but less elegant , which js making statue that happen to transform and its not even fun
    And about that pose, nope , if ir cant pull off the same angle and dynamism then no its not doable in any sense. Just half baked imitation.

    Huh
    Theres like no panel forming on Hydra?
    Just the ones that cover the lower legs and the ones on the shoulders that cover the tank treads and wheel

    It literally does though lol its the same pose
    Sure Hydra cant do the splits but no one displays their figure doing the spilts anyways

    Stop feeling insecure about owning Hanzo and go back to his thread instead of posting about Hanzo on Hydra’s thread

    What the hell is wrong with Hanzos wolf mode? Looks good to me, and his bot mode is damn nice too. In fact, I reckon his wolf mode would look great next to mindwipe and Snapdragon.

    It really, really isn't. As Phamduc said: it's half baked imitation.
    BTW, I love my Hydra. Hail Hydra.

    I accidentally hit 'post' before I'd finished typing. Please, let me finish! I meant: Why does he have little black removable discs on his bottom and I don't? Where are my black removable cheek discs? And also, where's my cheesecake?

    Just received Hydra yesterday and want a bad-@$$ bot. Love everything about him. The color selection and paint apps are drop-dead gorgeous and look way better in person. The metallic green/teal really pops in person. The face sculpt looks killer. Really impressed with Hydra aka Not-SixShot.

    :cool:
