Where is Mammon's gun supposed to attach in alt mode? Most pictures seem to show him without it. A few have it on the shoulder, but I read someone's comment that it doesn't sit there very securely. Curious what the instructions say, for those that already have it in hand.

 

Theres a nice gap for it in the backpack. Not at home rn, else id snap a pic

 

First order with Chosen Prime, and Mammon and Astaroth arrived early (supposed to come Monday). Don't have time to play with them yet, but not thrilled with Mammon coming half transformed in package. One or the other, please, so I have a clear starting spot. Otherwise the figures look good, and a but larger than I was expecting. So this makes 2 3P combiners I have committed to....

 

Fits snuggly in the backpack. There is a soft click to lock it in.

 

Thanks Kevin Iaquinto and chuckcjc for the weapon storage confirmation!

 

Mammon arrived today. This is honestly, the worst figure I've messed with in a very long time. Paint splotches everywhere, pieces falling off that had no reason to not be glued in in the first place, major moving parts that have nothing to tab into. Some of it may be me, as somehow the figure had moved around in the box and quite a bit had come untabbed and messed up, but coupled with the weird configuration they packaged it in, I have no idea if I got the 'bot mode right; looking at videos and pictures, everything seems to be in the right place, but quite a bit on mine doesn't seem to want to fit properly where it's supposed to... there's a few mm gap which I can push parts into, but they just spring back out again... again, where are the tabs? And is that really the way the 'bot legs come together? It's such a floppy mess. Push on the feet with any pressure and the whole leg structure comes apart. That's completely unnacceptable at this point in the game.

There are a couple of things I did like about it, but they've been so overshadowed by the awful shit I can't be bothered with them... so I've stuck it leg mode already, and the next time it gets touched is when I combine it. Shame, 'cause I liked Asteroth. Let's hope Leviathan is a step in the right direction.

I only started getting TFC figures with Poseidon, so had no experience with their previous releases, but if this is any indicator of a return to form for that level of quality, then I can see now why they had the reputation they did.

Easily the worst figure of the year for me... in fact, probably the last 3 years.

 

That's a shame because Poseidon was a big step up in both design and quality. I waded through lowered sights with Ordin (what is it with Abominus?), not interested in going through that again. Maybe I'll just get Leviathan and move on.

Then again, if they're all backwards compatible to Posei like Astaroth was, I could skip Blot and still have two combiners.

 

Looking Forward to the fish!

 

The cannon is definitely better looking on the shoulder than at the back although it doesn't lock in place.

 

So many People have Problems with Blot.
Opinions and Tastes are so different here.

My Blot arrived today:

- No Stress Marks

- Pieces from Monster Head and Knees
did Fall off
> I decided not to attach them anymore
because they fell off from spots where I do not even look at
> If someone does not know the Figure very well, you would not even realize that the Parts at Knees and under Monster Head are removed

- Very easy and Fun Transformation
> used Sun of the Empire Youtube Instruction right away
> had no Problem, and EVERYTHING locked in place at first try
> very easy Combiner Leg Transformation.

I had more Trouble getting SinnerTwin into Leg Mode than this guy.

 

How did you lock the hips in place for beast mode? The hips aren't sliding in and out?

 

No, the Legs become the Backpack
and everything Locks into Place.

I did every Step with precision while
watching Sun of the Empire at Youtube.

Robot > Beast > Leg

The Beast Mode is even more Balanced
(When posing him) than the Robot Mode.

Had Problems posing him in Robot Mode
because the Monsters Arms hanging at the Back intend to pull him Backwards because of the weight.

The Combined Leg Mode is very awesome, very durable. Every little piece locks or slides somewhere into place.

Also everything locks easy into place.
No great force required.

 

I meant the beast's hips. I watched the video and he didn't do anything special and when he was in the middle of transforming from beast mode to leg mode, I could see the beast's hips rattling a bit, so yeah don't think you can lock those in place.

 

Yes I read here often about Hip Problems.
I had no Issues.

I guess it is the same as the Stress Marks.
Some had many on SinnerTwin and Blot.
I have none. Not on Blot or SinnerTwin.

Guess It depends on the Copy then, just like the wrong attached Pieces on some Peoples Blot Copy.

 

Another thing I have to admit,
Sun of the Empire really rushes through the Transformation.

Some Parts need to locked in Place, but he just skips these. But you will notice
where everything goes, even if you follow
his rushed Steps.

I still hope that @PrimeVsPrime
can do a Video soon, since he is even
more Accurate and shows every step.

 

Just got Mammon today and he's certainly a mixed bag so far (haven't transformed him yet). Gripes right out of the box:

1. What was with the weird partially transformed in the box BS? I get when a company does that to save space, but he came in a box 3x bigger than it needed to be. All it did was make it a pain in the ass to get him to a starting point to figure out transformation.
2. A purple piece fell off the back of his right leg while I was trying to get his beast leg tucked in. It's stupid, because (a) the piece should have been glued on and (b) I see no benefit in it being separate and not a molded detail anyway.
3. And is there seriously no way to tab or peg the beast legs into his robot calves? They seem like they just...sit there. In a pile of junk crammed in his leg and floating around all loosey-goosey, unless I'm missing something

 

No the Beast legs just sit there loose in his Robot Legs. They can not be locked.

Yes the pieces that fell off from the Legs.

But I think it is not much of a Problem.
People bloat this Problem way to much.
Either remove the pieces and store them away or glue them into place.
Problem solved.

 

The legs lock in. There's 2 grooves right above the robot foot

Also, our first impressions are basically identical

 

Thank you! I didn't even notice those last night after a 13 hour workday, lol. The left leg snapped in perfectly after I got it swung around correctly. The right leg took me five freaking minutes of fudging and ultimately a little bit of filing to get it in. At least he is now standing stable on my shelf waiting for his turn at monster mode.

 

I am a bit afraid of buying this guy now
