The only thing putting me off until I see how the BMB one compares is the mace, the BMB one comes with two and they're modified to be movie accurate :/ Glad you finally found a Movie 1 Megatron for you bro

 

I got the mini Black Mamba OP figure that was a pre-order bonus for their oversized SS Grimlock what feels years ago lol. They finally came in at Show Z. Interesting figure- based on the TLK Voyager Prime but shrunk down. Unsure if any changes to the sculpt was made as I didn’t own the Voyager, but a fun little figure to ride on Grimlock.

 

If I may chip in.. get the OS SS05, decent figure, cheap and the most in scale one we have, he is slightly taller than the evasion one and about 3 cm taller and longer than the “normal” SS05, he is the size of the HFTD BB Prime.
Here are mine OS SS05 and my Evasion Prime to give you an idea.

(Mine are custom, but I didn’t alter the height)

Got any pics of him? Maybe next to some SS figures to show his scale?

 

Mine is on the way! It's in customs right now. I'm actually excited for a genuine USKO, which I've been wanting for a long time. I think having a little Prime that can fit easily in my jacket pocket will be fun. I plan on painting and stuff. Do you plan on modding yours at all? Any pics to post?

 

Yea the Os Ko of SS 05 is a good solid figure and good size for a collection, but SS44 with the trailer is nice. It really depends on what you're looking for honestly. Here are some photos of my os ko ss05 to show you how he scales with other figures.

 

I agree that he is really great in robotmode scale wise. nice to see you have him to!

 

Got SS Drift w/ Baby Dinobots recently from Entertainment Earth and he came with a defect in the molding of the right arm were it literally has no friction to hold his arm up and it comes off extremely easy. It also had some other loose joints like the shoulder pads and the legs, but those at least can hold a pose.

I'm definitely going to get a replacement, but I wanted to ask, does this figure always have loose joints? Want to know what to expect.

 

That was a weird release. I’d describe it as being “gummy,” it doesn’t quite feel solid. I would say it’s not uncommon for joints to be more loose than preferred.

 

So, I ended up buying this figure. This whole set is actually pretty nice. My Optimus is a bit flawed in terms of loose joints and extra silver on the chest. Everything else is basically pretty good and I’m probably gonna end up having to buy floor polish now. Thanks to the board members who recommended this guy over SS-32... even though I also saw him at Target. Damn, he looks sooo much better.

 

Repainted the jet mode yesterday.





I'll get to working on the bot mode sometime over the next several days. WiP...

 

Looking good!

 

Damn did you get it at target?

 

Hey guys, does anyone know how ROTF Jetfire scales with SS figures in vehicle mode ? I know he is a big boy but I don't have measurements

 

A

Any mods you intend to do on him?
I have the OS one so I am curious if you see room for improvements..

if you want acuracy in vehicle mode you are not going to get it, Jetfire is about half the size he needs to be, 1:73 vs 1:39 for Studio Series deluxe cars.

 

In our ongoing quest to ensure all our sentient Primes (including Nemesis versions) have the flippin' right to have trailers, this is Legendary Nemesis Prime with a trailer:


Legendary NP and OP have MP10 ports for some odd reason. For our Legendary OP, I couldn't even find a KO MP10 trailer from a reputable source anymore. So, modded a Boku trailer heavily and made a custom hitch for that.

For Legendary NP, I did find a black KO MP10 trailer from a reputable source (robotoybase in this case), so here it is. Took 12 days to get it. Matches up pretty well and does full 90+ degree rotations to both sides.

 

If anyone is interested:

SS44 looks quite good! I still haven't picked him up yet as well as Drift and Hightower unfortunately but I'll hopefully get them soon!

Awesome job so far! Love the silver!

 

Awesome, thanks for the share!

Man, Mixmaster looks like he's gonna be real damn crazy. About 80% of his engineering goes into his arm-shields. His legs and chest section are just.. wow.

I kinda hate how his arms are blatantly exposed in vehicle mode but TonTon does have a reputation for mistransforming stolen factory leaks without instructions so... let's hope for the best.

Also, his faux-midwheels and clip-on front wheels. Like Hasbro has enough budget to paint 2007 Megatron totally silver but not to give Mixmaster 12 fully functioning and proper pinned wheels? Whatever.

Also, neat detail on the hood! Glad MACK gave their license for this guy. He already looks miles better than the OG Voyager. But what about his.. s c a l e?



A little on the long but slim side in vehicle mode. Way too big for all three.




Approximately 13cm in robot mode, if Scrapmetal is any indicator. Short, stock, but bulky. Hmm where have we seen this before?

Definitely getting him, he looks like a blast! Not to mention less brutal than the ROTF Voyager...

 

I really am scared of SS Mixmasters scale..

the DOTM one at least is in scale for a mack Granite, altrough it is not as accurate as he should be.

 

Yeah. They finally sold it to me and oddly enough, it was on sale for 44.99 I believe, but I ended up paying full price  
Whatever though, he’s still pretty fun.

Drift and Hightower are also soooo good!!! The deluxes from this wave are stunningly fantastic. Definitely recommend all three of them.
