Real quick for anyone having trouble getting to their Facebook via web search, they recently changed their URL from /masterminiseries to /xtransbots.

 

Agreed. I'm considering getting back in on this if QC is good.

Considering.

 

Now all we need is a figure that doesn't fall apart when transformed

 

i know i won't get what i wanted for it to be painted more under the chest window but 1 out of 2 things i hoped they would paint is better than nothing  

 

awesome and can’t wait, looks like they took the advice and will possibly use @Blingotron toon color reference.

 

As a Locke 1.0 buyer, I am hoping this is the figure they meant to put out, and that getting my replacement isn't too onerous.

 

Nice. The miscolored abs were literally a dealbreaker for me.


Still a bunch of other factors I'll need to consider before I ever pick this up, but that's one thing out of the way.

 

Nice to see they painted the abs.  

 

I've asked on FB and never got any response. I'm excited and yet scared at the same time to get my replacement of this figure but no one is addressing the poorly made target masters that came with him. The price we paid for did include them and I feel like they should be improved on as well and maybe instructions provided for them? I mean.... I know they aren't the main figure and that's the most important thing right now but they were still apart of that price I paid for and would just be nice to see them get some attention too. I know it's not going to happen tho since they aren't addressing it... kinda sad. I know most people probably don't care about them anyhow and think their shit but I myself wouldn't mind if they did address them. Anyone else feel the same or am I the only one? haha.

 

Don't ask too much of them. Getting walked all over by XTB is meant to be an honor!!!

 

I think I touched a nerve with x-transbots here    

 

Haha, oh yeah, was that a problem? Yeah I s’pose that could have gone better!

 

got my bag version in finally. not transforming it but had to take apart the arm just to make it posable. the upper arm rotation was stuck something fierce. almost thought it was glued. 4 screws and a pin to expose the mushroom peg its on. a slight turn once opened and its now free and all good.

ab crunch seems on the loose side, as do the feet. not too bad though and nothing some polish cant handle, but was noticable. feels good in hand. looks too good and makes the cheap movie bots i got look out of place.

 

It's certainly a looker. They nail the v2 qc and it's the definitive g1 Kup.

 

Let the fun begin.

 

I want to believe but i just can't

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHGGGG! THEY DONE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT! NOT ONLY PAINTED THE ABS THEY PAINTED THE CHEST FURTHER UP!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!              

 

shame he never went through the articulation would be good to see how those knees bend easy now also without breaking the lower legs apart and if the hands unpeg easy, also i really don't understand x-transbots sometimes! they fix the abs and chest but then for the alt mode go and paint the side windows black     2 steps forward 1 back  

 

I’m just glad to see that stuff looks to tab in on the legs for the back of the truck mode vs the gaps and impossible angles the V1 had. And that slider on the arms is going to solve the main problem with the upper body transformation. I’ll reserve overall judgement until I have it in-hand, though, but so far Locke itself is looking much-improved.
