Whirl is freaking cool, love his gun mode. Scouts that are target masters is an awesome idea. Out of these, I'm definitely picking him up and Bumblebee, maybe Crankcase and Jolt as well
What bumblebee is that standing in front of sentinel prime, is that the nitro version we saw a few weeks ago?
They all look sweet. Roadbuster included with the new paint apps. At the same time though, I'm wondering if the reveiwer painted him himself...? That looks like Testors gold and silver on his body and face respectively. Just saying that, as it look like the quality I get when I'm detailing my figures. I could be wrong though.
I will be getting the race cars def., maybe the dreadhead bot, skip prime and bb, and not sure on the rest, blah.
I've been routinely displeased with the movie stuff so far but I actually like some of these DOTM designs, more than anything from the first two at least. The more "normal" proportions on the likes of Roadbuster and Crankcase, and the fact that they're not so monochromatic, really help I suppose. A lot of those little HA dudes even feel like they could be an unrelated line outside of the movie-verse. Wow. I'm complimenting movie-related stuff, what the hell is going on
Those were the first things I noticed. That and Crankcases middle fingers were cut down. Definite mods and touch ups done here.
Hello everyone~ I am the poster of these galleries L-U from HK Just want to clear up something, only the roadbuster and the skyhammer are touched up All other galleries I made of the DOTM line are the original figures I got I am pretty surprised by the Quality and the design of DOTM as the last movie line was pretty disappointing, so I keep making galleries for the new DOTM toys to let everyone understand that, the movie line hv been changed I always want to post reviews here but I am not good at English....may be I will try in the next gallery
Awesome photos sir! Don't be afraid of the language barrier. I can gather from this post that you have a better handle on english than some of the native posters here. I would love if you posted here. If you really aren't that confident then just post your pictures.
nope~ unless the seller do that for me I believe it is what it is when it release, I didn't notice any mark of cutting
If the mechtech weapons are cool to some people that are actually going to play/display them that way then their no worse off than a revenge of the fallen voyager for the money. Also The shrinking has been happening for a long time. I think energon is a great comparison. Those are really huge figures with big parts to click around. But by comparison to today's stuff there just is less joint engineering, paint and the transformations are as basic to transform as a power core combiner commander among that line. Not to knock energon. But just retrospectively, the engineering has come a long way. Everybody including bumblebee looks great with the Whirl BFG. The human Alliance bots actually don't look to bad next to the deluxes and voyagers. Their up budgetted scouts! The line is'nt dead. Right on. But Roadbuster has the Hood splitting to form the chest unlike topspin. So you can justify this decision for a clean vehicle partially because of the CG models conversion adaptation. I do agree that Nascar fans may actually want to get the Wreckers, perhaps Hasbro is trying to please more of the market by doing some Stealth Forced and some clean. The masses want Clean Nascars, and the fans want a Weapons Pile? That is good to point out. These are such nice photos. But I'm not going to be disappointed about a few less paint applications, or modified hands. Unless it turns out those modifications were to keep the toy from breaking on its own Automorph, or get past a Terrifying stress bit of plastic that could have snapped the hand right off without modification. I think we all want these things to work properly out of the box. I'm looking at scale, pose ability, and aesthetic presentation from these pics. Those Human Alliance bots and SkyHammer are the real stars. Everyone else I'm after just because of fandom.
See for yourself my friend- http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/366168-dotm-deluxe-crankcase-dread.html Scroll down through the pics some, you will see them.
searching for the official picture, you are right I think mine one is having problem, should be broken during transportation....as it didn't come with package. I just didn't notice that at all Now I see that the length of the left and right finger is not the same. May be I should ask for a refund? XD Anyway it do me no good to customize the figures without telling you guys, And I seldomly do customization unless I really can't withstand it or I really love it. Like the head of Skyhammer.
