    I would worry that MS and NA would make triple changes in the same size and while these are slightly limited they tower over everyone and that's what I appreciate about them.

    Besides, they go in a display to rarely be touched sooooo

    To be honest, it's quite easy to make TF figures - Legends, MP, chug scale... - look derptastic. I see it everyday on Instagram and YouTube.
    I mean, in those caps, even Astrotrain looks a little goofy.

    That said, even though I like the bot mode a fair bit - enough for me to pull the trigger - the jet configuration feels really off.
    Sideswipe cracks me up...

    I´m a bit disappointed he is a head smaller than Astrotrain, but overall it looks great. Maybe not so great as Astrotrain or the next Blitzwing, mainly about their alt modes, but great anyway.

    I had all the UT Headmasters and they were good so I pretty safe in saying these will be good as well and scale better with MS than the UT bots did.

    Oh that’s a given... especially if like me you prefer your headmasters slightly bigger as well.

    The HZJ one cost $40.98 no box compared to a lot of others like ShowZ, baba, etc that are in stock now & max $39.99 WITH a box. And after my last order with Hzj where loose mft Hauler showed up with a broken arm and hzj basically dismissed me with no help on a replacement, I no longer use them. To get a loose damaged figure and just be like, well I can't help you on that, was weak.

    I'm seeing Octane for $34.74 + $2.50 shipping, before tax, from hzj401. Does $40+ include tax for you?

    I ordered one last week when it was 33.99. I buy direct with a discount, consolidated shipping, and no tax, so it comes out much cheaper for me than Show-Z and baba. He's always helped me with replacements etc. Not sure why he gave you a hard time, that sucks to hear.

    I don't buy everything from hzj401 but when I do, it's usually because the price savings are enough and he's never done me wrong in the 3.5 years I've been a repeat customer.

    Yeah most of us don't get the special treatment of buying direct no tax free shipping cuz the above checkout for me and basically everyone else is over $40 no box. I guess my 2.5 years and couple thousand dollars buying from them don't count for much. If I could do stop motion id recreate the beach scene in Private Ryan where dude walking with his arm :D

    Ha, so he's actually pretty much as tall as Astrotrain. That first video gave me the false impression Octane would be notably shorter... Nice!
