Just preordered this from terry's! looks like I'm gonna get more than just devy

 

Ready to ship out by newage@weibo

 

See the previous page.

 

Paid and waiting to be shipped.

 

No reviews up yet?

 

Nothing yet AFAIK. Fingers crossed a video comes soon. Should be getting into people's/retailer's hands relatively soon I imagine.

 

Fully paid my preorder and now waiting for shipping too, but I must say I'm not 100% sure I'll love this guy.
Judging from the photos, there are so many design choices that I hope will end up looking better in hands than pictures... The already mentioned exposed hands, those massive blocky feet, the colours (especially around the lower legs area) that appear to be all over the place.
Plus I'm also expecting the alt mode to be pretty underwhelming. NA showed it rarely and always by somewhat deceptive angles, while the package suggests it will be very short.

With all that said - especially for someone like me, who doesn't mix NA (and now Zeta) figures with MST and MFT - this remains a must buy.

 

Don't know if you know this already or not, but as for the colors, NA has stated that the blue will be slightly darker for the final product. Also, the red panels on the insides of the legs (next to the feet) are going to be painted blue as well I believe. So maybe that helps alleviate some of your color concerns? Also unfortunately, it does seem like the trailer is going to be pretty short from the looks of things. I personally don't think it's going to be a big deal tho, at least imo. I'd rather it be shorter than have a ton of leftover pieces just... Hanging out with dear ol' Magnus (I still love the MS version tho despite this).

 

Ha, no, I didn't know about that! Should it turn out to be true, I'm gonna enjoy the bot mode quite a lot more, absolutely.
As for the alt mode, it was just to name it, as I keep all my Legends figures in robot form and never really cared for less than accurate/proportionate conversions (MST Bee/CJ, NA Seekers...). I was expecting it to be short from the first render, it's just that I then saw the box and realized it's gonna be really short.

Much much better.
Bravo NA.

 

I see that they also changed the way the crotch piece looks. They got rid of the lower part of the white design, making it look more accurate as well. Nice!

 

Only 6 parts!!!
So there will not be a hand cover but that doesn't upset me. Plus, he's got another blaster.

 

On one hand, I'm glad it only comes in six parts - Legends figures shouldn't take 30 minutes to transform. On the other, they kinda feel like two separate figures.

 

It’s called H27W & H28 for a reason. Plus it isn’t any different compared to the original toy.

 

Good point!

 

So glad they fixed the white belt to be more toon accurate, that big cross earlier was very unpleasant to the eyes. Very happy to see the box is sold with both the cab and trailer. Earlier they labeled him as H27W and H28 made us think it's going to be sold as 2 separate boxes, glad that is not the case. As for the partformers, good job in utilizing only 6 parts unlike MS UM v2, that was something, lol. The 3rd gun, was that from TFTM or one of the S3 episodes? Anyhow, NA Armor UM looks great, can't wait to have him. Very happy to know that Armor UM can be done without looking too bulky and still retain a good appearance.

 

New video review:

 

I like White Prime transformations, better transformations than Dutch dx9. Transformations in Ultra Magnus is easy peasy  

 

Another review on Bilibili, this guy showed a bit more about its articulation:

I'm not sure if its shoulders can be raised up higher than this, but look like it also has some butterfly joints due to transformation, which is nice.
