    i could totally paint this well to make it mint. but i surely wont. it sucks they are going this route. just ask for an investor to help you complete the run.

    yeah on paper he should have been smaller than MFT blitz i thought. but i do like the style of this bot more. i would be in for a colored version but not a paint by numbers one.

    Well... you can argue that his legs are very tall compared to his head and he seems to have a much biggest back pack. It would be easier to compare if it was painted though

    I agree..great idea to start out with a legends scale triple-changer. So far MFT, Magic Square, New Age, were the only ones I knew of..was not aware of the others that were mentioned.

    i clicked on the vid and scanned it real quick. but i never saw blitz. maybe i missed it or something but there is nothing anyway in the vid except still images.

    *update* just watched the vid again and now sign of blitz.

    but i did see these super cool articulated micro figs that come with maybe FT percy. i would buy that shit bot just for the figs.

    Reviewer said he wasn't sure if it would eventually be painted, as he was given a preview copy.

    Wish I knew what he said but oh well. I really like this guy, feels like a modernized version of the g1 toy. I like both the tank and jet mode a lot, especially compared to mft’s. I don’t mind the lack of paint too much, assuming I can find a good customizer that can do a semi realistic paint deco.

    Nothing major. If I remember correctly, he was complaining about the lack of paint, felt the design was a bit old school, think the tank mode was better than the jet, but wished they had covered up the top half of the tank more. No mention of tolerances.

    tank is definitely the best mode. bot isn't bad except for the open area on the back of the lower legs. jet is the worst with all the open panels to the sides, but overall the jet is a nice design/shape other than that. overall i like the design over the MFT offering aside from the more open panels. not being painted though, that's a major deal breaker. if it truly is being sold unpainted, i don't understand that one bit. :confused:
