Just got permission to release the review I did of the test shot in early May!

There are still a few hidden features I didn't show off here.  

 

Nice.

 

I want to like these but i just cant get past the piece meal vehicle. It is unfortunate but i suppose inevitable that eventually they had to release something i wouldnt like. O well.

 

Kind of wish Elita-1's color scheme follows the art in the Legend card game, i.e pink forearms and white biceps with pink shoulders, pink backpack flaps, and a more purplish dark red. Hope MMC reconsiders about the colors.

Also would love to see some more close-up shots of Elita-1's and Solus Prime's faces.

 

Wow that transformation is way more intricate that I expected!

Are there any close up shots of Salvia Prominion headsculpt?

 

I hope when they say third quarter they mean next month. I don't really love the face sculpts, the lips look glued on. But, that is the closest thing to a transforming Elita that has ever been made so i'm in. Why no pics of Solus primes face?

 

But the vehicle mode looks really close to the comic vehicle...

 

Really wish it came with her IDW head as well, paging Dr. Wu. LOL

 

+1

just thinking the same thing..

 

Does seem weird they went with such a g1 head. Meanwhile her color palette is more fitting to Elita. haha.

I am a little worried about how crazy thin some bits of her are but I'm sure just like with pe's fembots so long as I'm careful I won't break anything.

 

Remember it's MMC plastic, which seems to be about the toughest out there.

 

She is super tough. I had to figure out that transformation with absolutely NO instructions and she held up fine.

 

good to hear that, as I am giving this to my 7 year old !

 

This. There are a number of shades they could use to represent Elita, but that red isn't one of them.

 

Word PE blue version almost broke me but I'll wait for the hasbro version. I think MMC Elita-1 will be my sampling of this bevy of bots.

 

I wonder if the colors solus is in are an indicator of the deco they'll be using for her. The purple and green really gives off an eva1 vibe, seems like it'll be nice.

 

Something about the purple Solous makes me wish they could do a Nautica out of this mold.

 

Instead of Predaqueen, Piranaqueen. Seacons!

 

Also, the way I folded the arms and legs together for alt mode is slightly incorrect in the video. Now that the embargo is lifted I'll show off the correct way in a photo review at some point soonish.

 

@ peaugh,

you mentioned the colors at tfcon could possibly be the final one. Just making 100% sure you really did mean the tfcon Toronto this coming July, and not the current test shots we see at botcon? Pls confirm, and will you be there again this year?
