With a respectful nod towards the excellent SS86 Ironhide.

The Fallen is easily one of the top five SS figures ever.

 

yall i need help

was there ever a dna kit for voyager ironhide? i swear there was, but i can't find anything on bbts or ebay about it

 

Yes there was, just the kits a bit expensive and hard to find I guess.

 

I wish I could rate Megatronus as much as most do around here. Instead I see him like BB movie Soundwave. A great display piece, maybe even a great action figure, but a meh Transformer. I get that HasTak has to make up alt modes for some of these characters. But sometimes their team's original made up alt mode designs truly soar, like with with the other BB movie Arcee, Brawn, Ironhide/Ratchet Wheeljack etc. But sometimes they're pretty "whatever" like with Soundwave. If Megatronus fell into the former category instead of the latter, he'd make it into my top 5 for sure. Instead, there are enough other transformers that nailed both modes this year that leaves him coming up a bit short in my picks.

 

Soundwave’s alt mode concept art wise looks pretty good, but the budget of the toy and execution wasn’t that good (not terrible imo but not as good as the others).

I’d say what hurts The Fallen having as good of a alt mode as the BB Cybertronian Autobots is the shape of the design and kibble/alt mode parts. The design just looks like it transforms into nothing kinda like some of the AOE bots.

For me I don’t really care about the alt mode for The Fallen that much due to him not transforming at all in the film. So the robot mode (as it kinda should) took priority.

 

Lmfao you do need help. In all seriousness yes if you're talking about the Bayverse Ironhide.

 

that's pretty shit. i missed out on the devastator kit reissue so that's probably gone forever too

we all need help to some degree

 

I think show z still has the devy kit for preorder for the next reissue

 

never bought from showz, are they trustworthy?

 

Very. I buy pretty much all third party stuff from them. Great after sales service also.

 

Wow thank you so much!

DNA Design DK-20 Upgrade Kit for SS-37/41/42/47/53/55/60/66 Studio Series Devastator Combiner

It ain't cheap, but it is in stock

Very. I buy pretty much all of my third party stuff from them, and other than long shipping times (which isn't entirely in their control anyway), I've never had any issues with them. Their customer service is pretty top notch too. I've been able to get replacement parts off them for stuff that broke long after I'd bought it from them

 

Definitely, get all my 3p stuff through them. Been more trustworthy than most North American TF sites for me.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you have even a little bit of interest in any DNA design kit, BUY IT. If you don't like it or you decide you don't want it later, they definitely keep their value, and they're almost always great at breathing new life into a figure. I've read sooooo many comments of regret from sooooo many people who missed out on a kit cause they didn't think it looked that good, or felt it was too expensive, or whatever, only to have they struggling hard to find it a year later. I've even been in that camp. I didn't think I needed the jetpowered prime/jetfire kit cause you had to do so much work to install it, and now it's one of the best things I own in my collection.
