    Great overview @Sixo, thanks. :thumb  There's definitely not a mode I dislike or which is an obvious weak link compared to the other two - which is a rarity for me with triple changer toys.

    I looked back and I still wonder how we almost got into Backgate "Oh the back looks terrible". I mean unlike other FT's products, which sometimes comes mistransformed, this one is pretty much there. Must be Hasui taking improper pictures.

    Still my figure of the year.

    I just got mine in. But I find the artwork very uninspiring. It looks like a kid designed the artwork. For a $200 figure, the artwork should be more slick and professional. Maybe a battle scene or something?

    FansToys noted your comment and added new detailed artwork to the boxes. That's why they are now $350 retail.

    I personally love the FT box artwork. To each their own.

    I assume it's your first FT figure?

    I consider any artwork on 3rd party stuff and added bonus. I mean, you're not buying it for the box, are you?

    FT's boxes aren't special, maybe because they try to emulate the minimalistic Takara's MP boxes. On the other hand, the old boxes from Generation Toy and TransformMission were the best!

    KFC's boxes are also quite cool. But the best boxes I have seen are the ones from Cang Toys and Jiang Xing.

    Speaking of the box, let's appreciate the write up about Thomas regarding the "jettison weight" in joke.

    In addition, it referred Devastator as Marauder, so the rumored FT Devi is coming true now that it has a name? 16038957002285923825429139194994.jpg

    So this guy is all sold out everywhere? Not again... I wonder if it'll get a reissue. In like 3 years.

    FT has delayed the other figures coming this year so 2 years (2022) at the earliest if they want to release any older announced figures or even just continuing the FT-4x figures

    Thomas is a bit fiddly but once you get everything jammed in what a hell of a figure in all modes. Absolutely love him.
