    A lot of the complaints are over exaggerated. The rubber parts aren't that bad and the joints on both my Megatron and T-wrecks are both holding up just fine

    I got my Barney months ago (i think around march), transformed him AT LEAST twice a week, so far no issues (except for the clip that holds his backpack, that suffered from a minor breakage after a fall).

    Rubber seems made to last longer than me.

    20210723_175919.jpg Just put Tracks through the paces. Though I don't take YT reviews as a gospel truth, one said something to the effect that Tracks is the weakest? I beg to differ.

    I own the MP version which I both am amazed and disappointed. MP Tracks tried to do everything and shaft it all into that eenie weenie Corvette body which lead to disaster! If MP just let those hoodie missile launchers be a separate attachment and not part of the 'bot, Track's empty back syndrome wouldn't have been an eyesore. Did I mention Roadrage's epic fail lack of a head/neck locking mechanism?

    Kingdom Tracks rights all the wrongs of MP but of course a much scaled down version. Using a false car roof chest instead of the actual one seem to be the norm these days (Hotrod S-86, MP Cream, Runabout/muck). That deals with the proportionality and the illusion of covering the back and his spine. I'm not gonna rag on his lack of ratchets on his thighs as we get what we pay for. Excellent face sculpt too!

    Definitely a winner in my eyes (just don't tell Sunstreaker:p )

    P.S. Currently putting the Ark to its paces(haven't done the Last Autobot yet( he is one heavy bugger and I think I'm in love with nostalgia overload!).

    So we have all the season 1 Maximals, but there's still no announcement for Tarantulas or Inferno and wave 4 is the final wave...

    Both inferno and Turantulas are rumored for legacy, this info is from a very reliable leaker. Dont worry they will be here soon enough.

    Anyone take pics of your Kingdom beasts with some 3¾-inch GI Joes? They should be roughly in-scale.

    Based on leaked information, it is supposedly the next line/trilogy coming out after the WFCT.

    Or 1:14 scale like this image suggests.

    Sorry for the photobomber "beast" 20210724_130413.jpg
    The Ark is one heavy "beast"! I do wish he came with a holder similar to the Millenium Falcon so to simulate pew pew flying etc. Back then, couldn't afford the Falcon Power of the Force iirc now its like uber expensive so no way was I letting Ark slip away.

    Got my Tracks today. A real mixed bag imho. Looks great in all three modes. But some of the design choices for the legs, wtf? Torso and up he's perfect, nice & tight joints. Whoever thought of using mushroom pegs for the back and forth of the hips was drunk or something. The pins for the outer movement works fine.
    The front fenders not staying tabbed in is another issue. I shaved down the tabs that hold the arms in place in alt mode. That released alot of pressure on those fenders. They now stay tabbed together.
    All in all, he's ok. Not like most of the other releases in this trilogy which are fantastic. So far this 3rd wave of Kindom deluxes have been so-so. Wingfinger is fine, but Scorponok's insect legs keeping popping off.
    Hoping the next wave is better.
