Thats ridiculous, they better be sending another

 

Bobby has this obsession with paints.

"Not a lick of paint!"

 

Those shoulders of Overheat are begging to be die cast.
It's a bit strange to me, but X-transbots seems to put diecast parts in random places of their figures, but not where it's actually needed.
Not that I am complaining, but if a figure is breaking that easily, something is seriously wrong.
Still hoping they will fix the issue and include free Overheat shoulders for everyone within the trailer.

 

The best service BSF provides is allowing us all to populate our ignore lists with people who confuse 'preference' for 'bias'. I prefer bananas to apples. That doesn't mean I'm biased against apples. Such an idiotic, fanboy mindset.

Bobby's never anything than 100% upfront about what he likes and 100% open about the fact that his priorities may not align with yours - and he goes to great lengths to stress that. "You like it, you win," as he would say.

 

Mold the shoulder with kevlar this time, @ibot
jks, nylon would be great.

 

Yeah kinda funny how many people on this site hate him and don't bother watching certain videos because some points don't align with theirs or he said something negative about a figure that one time . Most common place I see this is official mp threads. It literally sounds like they are plugging their ears going ”lalalala can't hear you”

 

What I'll never understand about folks who don't like BSF is that if you don't like him,just don't watch him and that's perfectly Fine but yet anytime he puts up a review those haters will watch then hate it even more lol.

Anyways carry on back to the XTB Stunticons discussion. Guy/Gals have 3 more months until the Trailer to enjoy the individual figures before they end up as Menasor for the rest of their time unless you double/triple/multiple dip for the Stunticon sets lol.

 

This is what I can't understand. Why have Transformers if you aren't going to, you know, transform them every now and then?

 

People have choices..they can do whatever they want.

 

At this time, I have more than 200 pieces of Transformers, and others probably have more. Between work, etc, I am having less and less time transforming my collection.

 

Personally for me it just gets exhausting to flip back and forth and I've had my fair share of Combiners in the past which were all more simpler (Except FP Menasor lol) than these newer Combiners we have nowadays. Also IMHO doesn't matter who makes it/company but wear and tear happens when flipping back and forth. At the end of the day,do what makes you happy. I know when I have all my Stunticons,they will be in Combiner mode for most of their time as space is a big issue with my shelf. Much props to the folks who are in Double or Multiple sets.

 

Because it’s what they CAN do, not what we do WITH them. I transformed them in the first place, I combined them..... They are MY accomplishment, and I know what went into them. I always get tired of those guys who say “why not just buy a statue”...... That has nothing to do with this. Do you collect Legos? Why bother building all of those Star Wars ships.... Hogwarts.... Batmobiles.... if you’re not going to play with them and tear them down over and over? Because it’s an accomplishment. I BUILT those.
Combiners are like a big puzzle that you collect the individual pieces of, and put on display- it doesn’t need to be justified.

Like Rendsora said, Choices.....

 

This nails it perfectly for me. I love XTB, many of their designs are just amazing. Sure, I may end up replacing them when newer, cleaner designs come out (Apollyon, Arkose, Neptune, Toro) but at the time they release they are great looking bots that perfectly match the prevailing design ethos.
But every time I start to think “Good on you XTB, you’re starting to get it right with your Cosmos or your Skids” they’ll turn around and release a stinker like their Dragstrip. How many times have they revisited Wheelie or Windcharger? and they’re still mucking up the paint.
I always give them the benefit of the doubt and I’m pretty tolerant and will accept even flawed bots if they look good enough, but every time XTB starts on a winning streak and begins to turn around their reputation, they’ll stumble and drop the ball again.
FT can afford the odd mistake because they have a long standing solid reputation to fall back on. XTB have yet to manage a consistent “winning streak” without a screwup, and every time that essentially resets the clock for their rep.
Of course FT are starting to get more grief for their mistakes as well and it’s reaching the point where their longstanding solid rep is also starting to tarnish.

 

So true especially for the folks with kids,I seriously dunno how they have time for the hobby. Lately I've been Super lazy to transform anything. I usually ask myself if its worth for Me to even attempt it lol. Even been too busy and LAZY to dust my figures. #HobbyProblems Hahah

 

Meh. Personally I hate his review because I find him annoying, his personality grating and he’s made some VERY questionable and bullish!t arguments about IP, KO’s and justifications for 3P (he derided KO’s as theft of IP and “evil” and then tried to justify 3P as okay by referencing his own efforts to sell artworks he creates of licenced comics characters like Batman. They’re okay because “ I put him in a unique pose instead of just copying the artwork from a comic book cover so it’s “original”.
However I stopped watching his reviews years ago, can’t be bothered to even read most posts about the claims he’s made and place zero weight in his opinions. But he gets brought up fairly often and his sometimes questionable antics are praised by certain folks around here so it’s pretty hard to avoid him as a topic. Having said all that, if folks like him and want to watch him, go for it. No skin off my nose.

 

My Dragstrip is just fine.  

 

@inturnmike
Look closer  

 

Did they change the sculpt of Dragstrip's shoulders to allow the wheels to swivel easier on the second run? Because on mine folding down the wheels is really easy.

I looked and dont see anything alarming...its the toy vers...not sure if it makes a diff?
