    I've had it with a few Fans Toys figures.

    I'm so torn on getting this figure at the moment. When I first saw it I was all in, and I saw pics of the youth version and decided to wait for that. But then the figure came out and the transformation looked like a nightmare, which I dread as somebody who transforms these figures often and as of late has had a lot of struggles transforming XTB figures specifically. But man every time I see how this thing looks I'm like "damn, that's a handsome gentleman." Hopefully by the time a potential Delta Magnus repaint comes out, all the known problems and solutions will be mostly set in stone, so I'll know for absolutely sure if I'm going to get that one or just wait to see if maybe Fans Toys does a better job. Which, like in most cases, "better job" will probably be subjective.

    I've got no complaints on the transformation, and i also transform my stuff often. Got about 6 runs back and forth on him without any issues

    I've transformed my toon version a lot more than Furb's six times. There's not even a hint of paint damage.

    Just got it in the mail this morning. Barely touched it, but looks good so far. Love the box art.

    Now to make room for it!

    XTB Stack is likely less than half the price of what FTs offering will be and is a unique and incredibly engineered figure and isnt known for suffering from XTBs past QC issue. FTs offering will likely be very solid but its just another Optimus Prime in pants which, personally, Im kinda bored of the whole build a suit to make a Magnus affair. Dont get me wrong $200 is $200 and not to be sneezed at but if ever a Transformer was a good deal this one is it, this figure for the cost today is amazing value.

    Received neck replacement and blast effects from @transformer_78

    Neck gives better range and aesthetics, and blast effects look great!

    I got in some of those lr621 batteries today so I could test out his eye electronics finally. They don't work. It overheated the batteries and burned my finger. This company does not have a great track record with electronics. I really wish all the companies would just leave the electronics out of it.

    The voice stuff worked though.

    Bro, hard same. I guess one day I'll try to see if they work, but I think I speak for many when I say I'd gladly have skipped the electronics and saved a few bucks.

    In other news, The Magnus gang's all together.

    Meanwhile, the commanders attempt to negotiate a settlement.

    That new neck makes one hell of a difference.

    Back in the 80s, I was always a bit troubled by the comic adaptation of the movie showing the matrix as a small green round thing.

    If only Ultra Magnus had had the correct small green round thing, the day would have been saved.

    (We obviously need Cosmos Prime.)

    Try rotating it clockwise, could be the screw that's coming undone.
    You should always try to rotate clockwise only, or you might have the arm come off one day

    UK Galvatron was great! Completely loopy, but great.

    (This is perhaps one good thing that FT Magnus has going for it. If, given the pictures, he has lots of bits of armour that parts-form on to him, then he can explode like a quartered Magnus!)

    I'll just leave these concept digibashes here for you to fawn over while they get Delta Magnus ready...
