TW Prime also is from another line different of Dragoon/Sky Breaker. And I mention BA bcs people consider him the accurate scale, so do I

And I'm not talking about displaying Dragoon and BA together, I'm just saying the Knight Optimus should be BA size

Nice poses dude! Did you do the weathering on Megs? If so you did a great job.

 

Sí señor. Gracias!

 

Now you guys are making curious. I want to see what that transformation looks like on youtube. Any specific videos of reviewers going nuts over it?

 

Got my shipping notice from ShowZ for the standard version.

 

Same! Finally, damn it!

 

Excellent photos! Great looking figures too!

 

Did you mod the head? Something seems different about it

 

None they I know of. It was a bit point of controversy that no reviewer could actually transform it which got a lot of us worried before release. I tried to be optimistic but it turns out it really was that shitty and borderline impossible to transform.

Gotta be a replacement head since the details and proportions are completely different.

 

Gotten this bad boy after all the fiasco of the standard version since last year

1st thing 1st is to transform this guy. The logic of the transformation is not complicated but as usual with TW, there's a lot of alignment involved and you need to manage a lots of parts rotation / flipping through a very tight space.

But so long as you manage to get all the parts placed at their right place, the pegs will do their job and hold everything in place. Transformation on this is slightly better than Freedom Leader

UT still holds the title when comes to playability and joy in transformation but TW still looks better to me. The only nitpick I have is they don't even paint the god damn headlights after they paint the figure so damn well

Some comparison vs UT in truck mode

 

Thanks for the comparisons. Would you mind showing which accessories came with yours?

Also, how is the QC? Anything fall out or arrive broken or was everything good?

 

Everything arrived in one piece and nothing broken. The only annoying part is some pins or metal rod will fell off from it slots during transformation.

It came with 2 swords, 2 sword holders, 2 arm blades, 2 shields, additional 2 heads and 1 blaster used in TLK. The accessories is eaxcy the reson I'm going with Standard version instead of Deluxe


Honestly I'm liking this more than my UT. It has a better aesthetic and the paint and details really shine. TW has better representation to his he looks in movie

Trying to replicate some of his moment in the movie

AOE: Recognise one of your Knight


AOE: I am Optimus Prime, and this message is to my Creators: leave planet Earth alone, 'cause I'm coming for you!


TLK: You ugly MENACE! Did you forget who I AM? I am Optimus Prime

 

Thanks. God help me cause I ordered one of these from showz. Prob won't be here for a month but I simply MUST experience this transformation for myself. Is there any reason at all to use the smaller shield, smaller sword and smaller less accurate head? I don't see myself using any of that stuff, but luckily he has the shotgun which is quite nice. If I wasn't so bored today I wouldn't have ordered this, but now I'm looking forward to getting it!

 

That is indeed a review I can’t wait for lol

 

Those smaller head, shield and sword are just bonus because those the initial size during design stage and TW took suggestion from fans then came out with a larger one. So as an appreciation, he include it as a bonus for Standard version, which initially it was known as the 1st Batch

I would say transformation is not tough but u need a lot of patience. You will only see everything hold in nicely once everything has tabbed in, especially to the truck front cab and upper body. Just don't force it and do it nicely and you are good to go

 

Soooo they're just there to make the box heavier? Maybe they can be used with Challenger at least?

 

Lol...thise won't add in any much weigh

Forget about Challenger, it has the worst grip. It can't even hold the staff firmly. Furthermore the swords and shotgun of TW doesn't have any tabs like what other MP / MPM has. The shied is using a different pegging system

 

I need my ugly MENACE  

 

Wow that’s annoying. Freedom leader also had that problem of barely being able to hold anything, but at least they attempted a tab-in system there. SIGH guess they’ll just never leave the box, same as half of what comes with Toyworld figures.
