Man the proportions are so much better than MMC, just hope the figure holds up on final release.

 

I too have questions.

You can see a Defensor fist underneath the 31b stretcher at the front, and it looks like you connect the whole thing to First Aid when he goes arm mode? Because the lower arm has an additional sheet of plastic at the wheel that he doesn't have on the alt-mode photo's? Am I seeing this right or wrong?  

Edit: it looks like the shoulder and elbow joint are part of the stretcher as well. So I think that First Aid splits apart like the Stunticons did. I could be wrong.

 

Wow picture me surprised they went with bigger scale for First Aid so the alt mode is correct!! I think I love it!

And yes - that's the arm skeleton parts forming that repair bay thing. Kinda dig it, but a separate purchase for just the combiner arm skeleton??? Hope it's reasonably priced!

Then First Aid just splits in half and clips in like the Stunticons.

Glad this should mean a bigger Blades/chopper.

Very interesting XTB

 

Fuzz doesnt have shoulder ratchets. He has ball joints

 

That's exactly it. First aid splits in half like the stunticons. Because Hot Spot doesn't have the mass to incorporate the arms like the Menasor trailer, so they split them at the shoulder. No different than before...

 

You'd think I'd remember these things considering I actually own the damn thing and often stink-eye the box when I look at it lol. Either way the shoulders are a great concern to me because they look just as tiny as Fuzz's.

 

Thank you for the confirmation

 

I am assuming it will be sold separately like they did with the Menasor skeleton.

 

Nice. So exactly like I said before.


I really hope they get these out quickly and do the combaticons next. The more I look at Zeta Bruticon's individual modes the less satisfied I am.

 

That's nice having the combined mode arm double as a stretcher when not in Defensor mode. Paragon being Ironhide height is also great. I wish that the combiner parts are included not a seperate purchase.

 

Agreed, I'd be fine with a $160 ish price tag if it meant the arm section was included.

 

It's hard to tell because of the elbow bend but it definitely looks like some redesigning going on. That vertical bar where Firstaid's rear section connects on the render seems to be gone in this new 3D printed prototype.

 

But why are they concerning ? I don't think there's been a single mention here of them actually causing an issue.

 

Exactly.
No one is strong enough yet to break that little tiny ball joint.

 

Yeah - but maybe four separate purchases for all four limbs' skeleton parts?? Hope not!

 

Why not one big pack with all the accessories? The two arms, and the rest of the skeleton. Assuming that Blades will also end up with a stretcher.

 

MX-31 is FA


And the Arm is MX-31B


Either their gonna include the combined mode arm with FA or its gonna be a seperate purchase. Based on XTB's history i'd assume the latter but please prove me wrong here Xtransbots.

 

Mine are very loose and have scared me away from even touching it ATM. So count me as the first to mention it, I guess.

 

I'm just making assumptions because the First Aid arm skeleton parts here is given MX-31B. But maybe it's not finalised the contents?

 

Well I'm very syprised they went with varying heights. I thought for sure they were using the sane extensions that menasor used to make the arms longer. Either way looks good and is better than MMC for the simple fact that the combiner is the correct size.
