I hope the back of the legs aren’t hollow.

 

You can see that they're not in the fourth pic as well as the last pic if you look close.  

 

Looks like New Age wins again.

 

really because i think MS knocks this out of the park. but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that is what makes this community so great.

 

agree. not that these look bad, but NA look fantastic to me. plus, who knows when MS will decide to actually release these.

 

well these arent test shots and this looks like the final production run. so i would like to think this will be hitting slightly after whatever that datsuns name does. jan or feb tops is my guess.

 

Well, in my case I'm right smack in the middle between the two... Like with Megatron and the seekers...  

I really need these two companies to mate to give me the perfect 3P Legends scale maker. My wallet is telling me to kill the "why not both?" mentality or else.

 

Skyward used the camera in episode 1

I like these, I think the legs are cleaner than NA’s and the lack of visible head in alt mode is an improvement. Need to know how the shake out in terms of size and scale though as I’m collecting NewAge scale.

The purple does look a little washed out and pastelly though? Needs more grape soda, less grape sherbert.

 

Thundercracker...


 

 

MS really needs to do more MP stuff, cause if they give this treatment to legends, can't imagine the love they'd give MP.

 

Newage have announced that the bots are around 7.6cm.

 

History tells us that these will be a lot bigger than the Newage insects

 

Yeah, I was starting to wonder if I had been remembering that wrong all this time cuz I was sure it was Thundercracker.

 

That camera mode! Those colors! Mine!

 

Very happy to see that the legs aren't hollow (was my very first question upon seeing them). And then I saw the forearms...

Oh well. Apart from that they look spot on to me (and I don't like the extra greebly detail that New Age has given theirs).

 

The backs of the legs seemed to be hinged and capped like PapaToys KO of the PE set, but I don’t see why since it doesn’t appear to be needed for transformation.

 

hmm I like mst robot modes but newage alt mode.

 

Both sets look good. Each set has it's issue or some-such, but nothing to really put them off. It's going to come down to size, and cost to a degree (only because I figure they'll be priced relatively the same, or within reason of their respective sizes).

 

Same here. It's hard to pick one over the other.

 

Pretty sure I will go with Newage on this one, only because I'm sure they will do the toy color scheme first which is what I want.
