    We've talked about FT Stunicons before for sure lol. Anyway I've called it quits on this set already. I feel like I'm not alone. Like, they have to give an update soon it feels.

    That's where I'm at right now. Smokey's alt mode is a little weird, but the bot modes all look good and the engineering is relatively simple and effective on all four. I've got DX9 for Menasor in the mean time, so I'm chill waiting for awhile.

    But the Aerialbots just seem overpriced, finicky, and have poor articulation. Zeta's Superion is fine, and the only reasons I even bothered with FT's was because I don't like Zeta's individual Aerialbots plus a little FOMO. Seriously thinking about dumping them plus the two FT Headmasters.

    Same.



    ... and don't forget Fort Max. You'll need Fort Max. Because... half of the Fort Max body will be the skeleton for FT Ethereaon/Superion... and the other half of the FM body will form FT Marauder/Menasor.

    Don't forget Blitzwing... Fanstoys needs to switch to 2 releases per month to keep up.

    My cheap camera usually takes fairly poor pictures, but this came out nicely.

    It's not your camera, it's the ugly car mode

    But my camera settings don't have an 'ugly car' mode...

    However, it's true, the slightly different shades of yellow are a bit off-putting. I think I would have preferred either the same yellow throughout, or more obviously different shades. Currently, it looks almost unintentional to me, like plastic/metal parts took the paint different - a bit like how 80s toys these days are often white+yellowed.

    Speaking of Drag Strip, I think I would prefer the legs this way around if it were an option. It's certainly a lot more interesting than the correct boring plain yellow, and it's closer to the G1 toy having the spoiler for his feet. It's just a shame the crotch shows all those screws and the knees now bend the wrong way.
