    C’mon @ibot ; I’m sure we who preordered the ‘youth’ trailer and already own the ‘youth’ Berserkars were in for, and are expecting this toy Menasor. Please don’t let us down and switch it out at the last minute!

    Revised sword for Youth Menasor on their FB page: FB_IMG_1630106235301.jpg

    X-Transbots toys

    It's not chrome though I'm not surprised as XTB don't seem to ever put chrome on their figures that I can recall (maybe they don't have the electroplating equipment?)

    Nonetheless I'm definitely enthused that they have indeed taken on the feedback about the deco. I was really skeptical whether anything would really change given this is meant to ship in a few weeks but hopefully this is a sign they'll be able to fix the deco on the rest of the trailer/combiner body too.

    It's a step forward, regardless. Here's to hoping we see the rest of the bot soon. Since they mentioned that they'll be taking a look at it, got a PO on the toy trailer just in case.

    Seconded. Got 3/5 here, myself. Still waiting on him and Drag Strip.

    I personally don't mind either when it comes to the sword in terms of use, but looks-wise, gotta agree.

    that's the pisser, the stills show it either gold, silver, black or a glowing purple, so they are wrong and right in whatever they do.

    With those head sculpts they look like the Visor Brigade!

    Cool looking team though.

    If I had a magic wand that could turn all chrome on TFs into this kind of metallic paint I would wave it in a heartbeat. Even ignoring the potential for scratching and flaking and fingerprints everywhere...I've just never been a fan of seeing reflections in my toys. I don't want to see my goofy mug gaping back at me, or my ceiling fan, or my TV, or whatever else when I'm looking at my toys.

    Metallic for life.

    Agreed. Chrome can look really nice but man, it can get too much at times, haha.

    they need to not worry about "abs" and paint the parts that are supposed to be silver the right color.

    What's with the hypno-crotch highlight? Is that a G1 toy deco element I don't remember?

    ibot is still playing 4D chess with us and this is his equivalent of Rook to bishop 4.

    A couple more moves, and it's checkmate ... silver paint on the box, cartoon colors on the actual thing.

    They're addressing the concerns that were raised, surely this is a good thing?

    The smoked clear plastic on the pics earlier this week were obscuring the toy sticker details a lot more. They've maybe gone a bit too far the other way by using too much white in the translucent pieces but it's still closer to the original render now:

    If they go with that lighter grey from the latest pic for the abs and thighs I think that's a win compared to the charcoal of the pics earlier this week. It's much closer to the render now and also matches the colour they used on Youth Gravestone so makes sense there. Plus it also looks much brighter depending on the lighting.

    The main things they need to fix now are the face colours and matching the arm shell colours to the Youth figures.
