I have all of the current ones except for Hightower (he is on the way) and man are they awesome! Great size and great additions and paintwork. Very excited to get Hightower in hand and see what they do with the other four.
Bit late to the BMB Party because I've lost track in all those SS KO Devies. I need to see more pics of the combined more from MT and if they made any improvements cause I don't really like that Studio Series Devastator
Presumably there'll be a bit of a break until the new ones are revealed cause the first 4 are being shipped out right now, but there's no sign they're going to stop after them
Ooooh, mine arrived unexpectedly quickly. Delicious! And laaaaaaaarge. All are straight upscales, some sporting subtle changes, others more dramatic. All have much more impressive paint apps, Rampage and Scrapmetal in particular benefitting from these. All contain some diecast parts because remember that time people put pennies in Beast Hunter Prime's legs to pretend he was heavier as we like to believe heft = quality? Fuck off. These don't need it. Scrapmetal gains an additional type of scoop for vehicle mode to better match the movie. He also has a brand new multiple harpoon accessory for the Devastator configuration. Hightower has retooling done to the neck so that the thumb claw is a part of transformation as opposed to a partsforming piece. His crane boom is much improved, the innards open and split to form two new arms, one of which is a claw, the other swings around one of Devastator's bollocks like a wrecking ball. He comes with two bollocks as well, unlike Hitler. Long Haul comes with two optional filler pieces for the feet and now has articulated fingers. Rampage now sees the cab transforming into an extension of his tail, dramatically increasing the size of an already big bot. He comes with a stand to accommodate display purposes. Anyway, cos of these, I'm selling my Studio Series set (UK ONLY) A lot less than the current reissue box set too. Sales in sig, as ever.
Got hightower the other day, and I'll share more pics later, but for now here's an alternate scrapmetal combination I made that's more paw-like (also available in normal ss flavour)
Man I love how they’ve got some changes that improve on the base design. Defo makes it a worthwhile KO.
Just received shipping notice for my Longhaul and scrapmetal; can’t wait to have them in hand! don’t think I have the space to justify going all in on devastator but very excited for their potential mixmaster as well! Hopefully it’ll be closer to mpm size
just make a raw comparison images based of few youtube review and proper scale with combiner war, damn this boy are huge !
For the ones interested in Scrapmetal legs easy fix : just swap the left 'knee' part with the right one, you will have to turn them 180° too. Then you will get Scrapmetal with full range chicken legs (if you wish ) and a better standard knee rotation. Nothing changes when legs are straight or in alt mod. Only 3 screws to remove on each bottom leg and no complex mecanism hidden behind. I do not have the original SS to compare, but I guess the parts have been reversed during Mechanical Team assembly.
hey man, i just noticed that os long haul and ss rampage seem to be in good scale, could you please show them together in vehicle mode?
How is the overall plastic quality of the figures? I am curious because this is quite possible Bmb renamed. I am a bit worried seeing as Bmb has a noticeable decrease in quality over the years.
Not sure about BMB but MT-01 Feels amazing. I have the rest of the team ordered, will provide feedback.
