"Well that's a nice surprise: Baba has marked my preorder as posted. I'll just head to the forums and see if OH GOD WHAT IS THIS SHIT STORM THE COLOURS EVERYONE'S ANGRY AAAAGH!!"

 

Hmm, regardless of the color tone Jabber looks great! *proceeds to order*

 

OH, GOD! Where is the bathroom?!?!?!



WHERE!???!!??

 

The back-shoulders-arms section on mine seems rather loose and swings back away freely from the front-torso piece. Is there a way to tab that in better? This is fresh out of the box so I'll try to watch Paik's video tonight to see if there's some element of transformation necessary right out of the package, like flipping out the heel spurs. I just gave him a bit of ab crunch lean forward to compensate in the meantime.

 

Yeah, PAIK showed that first thing, there's a little tab on the back (light blue) that pulls down to connect to the backpack. It came out of the box without the tab pulled out for him too.

 

No contest... Jabber wins both alt and bot mode... And has better plastic/paint. Ease of transformation goes to Buzzing so far... Unless I learn some tricks for the sides/back of the alt mode from other's transformation videos.

 

Paik just broke his  

Watching live stream.

 

I thought Buzzing had the transformation nobody liked. How does Jabber's transformation compare to Koot, Rouge?

 

Mental note. Don’t grab a hold of the mid section piece on the small pin and twist it the wrong way

 

I'm looking forward to Emgo's full transformation (Just Transform It) video.

 

Jabber was this month.
Goose is next month.
What do we have in December? I have to lay down my preorders.
TF source says TrailBreaker and Blitzwing
I have doubt.

 

I don't recall them being as bad. They were definitely not fun but I never felt like I would break them.

It's mainly just getting the arms into and out of the sides of the alt mode... And where the calves turn into the "trunk" of the alt mode. Even with a spudger (sp?) It's a pita. Haven't been able to watch Paik's video yet, YouTube is not playing nice when trying to rewind the live streaming

I just transformed Buzzing after Jabber and it was a breeze in comparison, lol... And I recall complaining about it the other day!

 

What did TF say about Outrider and Berserk?
I totally forgot about Goose dropping next month.
I think Sovereign M is next month also.

 

Paik just said jabber does have a purple sheen to it.

 

The transformation reminds me of MP44 where he splays out into thin strips and you gotta be careful with some of the little dangly bits.

 

what broke?

 

Ah, thanks! Watched and now mine is securely tabbed. Cheers  

 

It’s just their listed expected arrival date. I don’t buy from them; but they post dates.

 

Start around 40:00 for context, break is just after 41:00. It's going from alt mode back to botmode when it happens.

 

He looks great!

EDIT: Hmm, I just saw the transformation. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of this "explode everything and put it back together" transformation they're using for everything. For something like Arcee I understand, it's a tough toy to do, but for this figure it feels like a bit of a cop out.
