This!!!! Ssssoooo much this A Gundam GM or Zaku head would look a billion times better than this terd design OP knock-off.
A head that looks vaguely like Prime makes it a knock-off, but if it had a Gundam head instead that would be better?! Welcome to TFW, where logic goes out of the window!
It's a toy based on a "military vehicle", a piloted mecha, the only thing that matters is that the "head" works as a head does.
maybe i like jets more than copters but this isnt doing much for me. and yes teh headsculpt looks like they took tf prime optimus heads feminized it and took off teh antenna on the sides. the headsculpt was the weakest part of lumitent too. i love that bot but its head was a let down. i think they should go more mecha, less sentient looking personally.
After having Lumitent for a few days, I can’t wait for this one and the rest of the line. Lumitent is probably one of the best made transforming figures I own. The use of diecast and solid plastics are great, and the details for the jet mode are stellar; probably one of the best jet modes ever, and this figure’s helo mode seems to keep that trend
When they first revealed the updated sculpt, I wasn't sure if I was looking at a fembot or a twinky brobot (I have the first release but never got around to reading the comic); if this is a fembot that makes me even more excited for it, helicoptor transfomers are relatively rare and female ones even more so (of the top of my head I can only think of airachnid) and like you said its always cool to have a fembot design that doesn't resort to literal T and A to get the point across. I do recall a post of their Weibo account the this was supposed to be released in Summer, we're in May now and still at the grey scale stage; but IIRC their first one had an unusually quick turnaround from solicitation to release, like I think less than 6 months; so maybe we might still be able to see this be Q3 or Q4 this year.
Fascinating. I like, although I wish the shoulder mounted blades could maybe serve a shield function, or offensive blades. Do the botmode weapons (sniper rifle and melee-esque ...scythe?) have an altmode function/storage?
Weapons plural? I think the rifle and the scythe are the same object, it’s transformable. If Lumitent is any guide, then the weapon should be attachable to the alt mode, though I don’t think we’ve seen pictures of it yet.
Now up for pre-order on TFS-Express - $155, due for release in October. TFC Toys CS-02 Aegopter - CAIC Z-10 WZ-10 Attack helicopter
23 cm tall in robot mode!!! That's what I wanted to hear!!!! Bought! I hope the "Flanker" will be 30 cm tall!
Do we know if this is still TFC, OR what is Sci-Figure Industry? Is that an overseas translation thing or just that this is what this line is sub categorized as, TFC Sci Figure Industry?
Holy junk...not going to order from them, but TFSource has Aegopter for $250...I hope the full release isn't this much in other places and hope no TFSource fan actually buys this from them. Enough is enough...unless it is indeed $250 everywhere.
