    ShowZ probably has the best price on Alkaid. 52.99/53.99 SHIPPED. That's actually insanely cheap.

    Nice; he'll come in not too long after GuzGoz on TFSource, thus securing my free shipping. Excited to have him kill the OS KO of Black Shadow.

    Compared to their other releases, this one's engineering seems to be on the weaker side. It's a bummer that the cockpit chest doesn't actually become the cockpit in vehicle mode. The early photos have suggested that to be the case, but I was really hoping maybe the backpack was simply armor that covered the cockpit in vehicle mode and you could remove the armor to reveal the actual cockpit. No dice, I guess. While I'm sure advocates will simply say that it's all excusable given the scale and the combiner mode, but IMO, this is a bigger figure and the combiner really shouldn't have been much of a priority. He does look fantastic in robot mode, which is arguably the most important one, of course.

    Hes not suppose to be a vehicle. In the comics hes a smelting dispenser or melting pot thingy :) 

    Hes not a spaceship either. Unfortunately that's the way his alt mode kinda looked. Still cool

    Is that a cockpit? I was under the impression that it was an imprisonment chamber for captured fugitives.

    If i remember correctly in the comics his chest was like a melting chamber he uses to torture his enemies, I don't even remember him transforming honestly

    "Hmm... Combiner mode for 5 figures or single piece cockpit for one figure; which one should I pick?"

Also there’s Milne’s sketch to go by. So basically yeah this is missing a cockpit for the tank mode but since it’s only shown in a fraction of a panel I’m not that upset over the IF design.

    To say he transforms into a combined mode is a stretch, too. The combined mode is a partsformed mode, if there ever was one. That doesn't bother me, of course, but to use it to justify the lack engineering for the other modes doesn't hold much water, IMO.
