    the brainmaster - the guy that’s inserted inside the chest cavity of Star Saber was shown and he’s way smaller than the the head of a deluxe class Head Master.

    I'm backing it. I have my issues with it though. Having the cannon be a stretch goal is obnoxious of them but whatever. I don't like how the sword blade connects, it sits too far back and too low. Aside from that this looks super up my alley, even if I'll probably end up displaying them separately because I'm not much a fan of shoes and backpack style combinations.

    I honestly can't see this getting funded completely to be honest. I might get proven wrong, but this isn't some big pop culture character like Unicron.

    Yeah, there are people that will back it as already shown, but this is a character from a G1 Transformers show that not many people are familiar with or grew up with. You have to basically be a diehard Transformers fan to know who Star Saber even is.

    True that there were characters from the later Japanese only G1 Transformers cartoons that appeared in U.S. lines over the years like Overlord in Titans Return, but there they were released as part of the regular toyline, not having to be backed by people through a crowdfunding so I'd guess some people were all "sweet, new character". Or they helped people to discover the later G1 Transformers cartoons we didn't get in the 80's.

    I mean, I didn't know who Star Saber was until I saw him in the Masterpiece line and looked him up. Also, I know he also appeared in the IDW comics, but radically changed from the cartoon version in terms of character.

    I hope the other unlock tiers include a flight stand. And maybe that big shield too.

    Are folks really complaining that they have to give money to get an item? Lol. Ya'll are hilarious.

    Not sure if I am buying one, but if it were MP scale at a higher price point $300, I would be interested, also there are no specs on how large/tall this piece is.

    He looks great, but doesn't trigger my nostalgia. Good luck to those backing him.

    I'm sorry I may have forgotten their names, I'm actually referring to his mid level robot form without the mouth plate.

    Are you talking about the blade's orientation in the hilt? They said they were revising it to have toy-accurate and anime-accurate options

    I backed it. This will be my first HasLab backed product. Fingers crossed that it hits the goal.

    And to those board members who do not understand how business works, you should learn a bit before you come here and look silly.

    This was...rather lackluster for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm still backing him just to support the JG1 crew, but it feels off.... like something is missing? I was honestly hoping they'd go the extra miles and have a setup similar to Flametoy's design for Victory Saber, or maybe alternate armor pieces to rep the IDW version.... I kinda wish his sword was longer and his (VS) legs were more.... proportionate...

    also, the final tier is at 20,000.

    I really hope the second and third tiers get unlocked. More bang for the buck. I would want at least a large shield.

    Because it worse than MP, lol. Proportions are off, hollow forearms on Saber looks stupid, BUT Hasbro made a balljoint in the wrist instead of a hinge. Sword looks awful, hollow bits in SS forearms look awful, articulations is what? Awful.

    MP is bad too, although he looks decent in SS form. And 3P ones are bad.
