Really interested if he'll make up the whole torso.Have DST said anything about it?

 

Not that I am aware of, but at least judging from the prototypes, I am fairly certain he does make the whole torso. It seems the only allowances for extra kibble are the feet becoming little towing vehicles.

 

I think they said early on that this was not going to be a pantsformer

 

U can tell its not by the rendering. Silverbolts arms become the combiner thighs

 

Man, who is the HUGE G1 Optimus ?

 

Lewin Resources optimus prime

 

This is like lucky draw right? You get a ticket to get a gold figure or your figure is randomly gold?

 

So I saw Highdive and Slingshoot next to each other on a website and it took me a solid minute to realize they weren't just the same mold with two different releases. This is my big issue with the color scheme they picked, the colors being identical and the designs being similar make it frustratingly hard to tell them apart.

 

Transform guide for DST01-002 Skydive！

 

Nice, I have been wondering about any info on this set. Any word on release?

 

man these are so beautiful

 

I'm in for a set of these, but I really hope they decide to do a Toy Deco version with the original heads they showed along with the G1 color schemes.

 

I wanna love this so bad, but I just can't get over the feeling that if I'll look at it too long it'll break.
All those connections, hinges and tabs just look flimsy and easily breakable...

 

Any idea when it might be getting released?

 

I love the realistic alt modes on these figures, but unfortunately that aesthetic comes at the cost of tedious transformation engineering. I don’t think I could really enjoy these. Maybe if I were a “pose-once-and-display” sort of collector, I might be interested, but I like messing with my figures, and these don’t look fun to handle.

Despite that, I may have been tempted if not for the monochromatic sameness of this set. G1-inspired colors (and heads) might have been enough to lure me in. As it is, these look more like generic OCs than Aerialbot homages— but maybe that’s the point and I just have the wrong perspective. Early renders and prototype heads had me very interested, though.

 

I really wanted to love this set, but the first one was just not fun to transform and felt like it was going to break, this one looks exactly the same.

There is so much potential here but I think I'll have to wait to see their Silverbolt before I buy any more.

 

I feel like I'm just echoing the above, but that does look to be going in the wrong direction for me in terms of unnecessary complexity against the result. But having handled Slingshoot now I'm still willing to take a chance - Slingshoot makes much more sense in-hand than in videos, and feels remarkably sturdy aside from his hands (and a misfired pin in mine's left leg - replacement parts pending). I'm very much hoping they reverse course for the remainder, though, and bring them back closer to Slingshoot (I feel like I'm saying that name too much) if not a little further so it's more enjoyable and less an impressive-unless-you-know-better engineering piece.
