    Yeah, the underside of the plane mode really lets this figure down... Alas the same holds true for MP-52.

    To each their own. I find MP-52's massive bar holding the faux cockpit on the bottom of the jet to be a massive turn-off. I also don't like how MP-52 has distinct chest- and legs- sections hanging from the jet body, as opposed to a single block. DS-001 isn't perfect by any stretch, but I wouldn't say either is 'moping the floor'.

    So many gaps here - I can't believe things don't fold up slightly more neatly than what's displayed - especially the blue foot pieces and the red crotch piece.

    I pre-ordered after the robot mode pics - if I'd held off until seeing these pics I very well might not have. Oh well, if nothing else I can judge DS-001 in hand next to MP-52 to see which group I'll be going all in on.

    I think the alt mode's undercarriage slightly beats MP-52's simply by virtue of being more level, as opposed to looking like it's been pinched in half down the middle. But neither's undercarriage is worth bragging about.

    And just about every plane bot. All the G1 plane bots look like crumpled up bots hanging under a plane, some neater than others but a bot under plane none the less. We've seen plenty of engineering that is mind blowing so we know its possible to make things look amazing in both modes when companies want to do it. Why can't they get over this fear of making a plane a little bigger and then they'd have the room to actually get a bot to fully transform into it not hang under it.

    I think he means the little crotch cockpit part is hanging out under in alt mode. I could be wrong though cuz I can't see these images, they are showing up like this.

    Nvm. I think I was looking at an MP-52 img. Those pics aren't showing for me either.

    Thanks. This pic wasn't loading for some reason. My take is they hit it out of the park with bot mode, and have a 95% clean alt mode. I can live with those little window pieces as the tradeoff for not having a cone hanging off the back like Meteor.

    That's probably fine with me. I'm thinking what to do with my MP11, now at least I can keep that in plane mode.

    Haha, that was my exact thought too! I still have a coronation set MP11 that I was worried I'd have to sell at a big loss after getting this guy, but at least its alt mode still looks pretty good (relatively speaking).
    In fact, the only jet alt modes that look better are probably the upcoming DreamToys Superion jets.

    Thanks! Couldn't see that before
    I agree. Anything DS-01 is doing wrong is 10x better than Meteor. I have a major disappointment in the Meteor mold. I'm just glad it was on sale or I'd be pissed. Some parts are straight bad, some not so good, some poor engineering and on the cheap side of feel, definitely not a $100+ bot by any means. I get this feeling that the people that applauded that thing were just taken by its looks being more toon.

    The pictures only load for me when I quote the message they're in.

    So it's not whole cockpit visible in alt mode but only two small cockpit pieces. Well I can tolerate that.

    I am loving that transformation! Always nice to see a new spin on things.

    Alt mode doesn't tidy up super well, but it's no better or worse than MP-52 to me. I'm keeping my Maketoys seekers for alt mode anyway.
