    Turns out it's the one Weibo user that posts photos of a supposedly broken figure on the day of release for every popular 3P figure. He's moved up his game to make prototypes also look as bad as possible since the fake broken figure photos weren't enough to dissuade purchases.

    I think this Gravestone sucks. I hate it.
    XTB needs to just scrap it and start a redesign of Motormaster and the combiner frame.
    This thing is dumb looking and looks like it will be fragile due to the thin waist joint and the giant hunk of metal attached to it.
    FT>XTB

    The only thing that will convince me to get the current Gravestone is TWO trailers.

    I blame the figure.

    I don’t like the feet but anyone complaining about the arms being better on dx9/ft needs to check their eyes. The arms reach the knees on all 3... ft and dx9 have longer legs that’s all.

    If you have a problem blame the figure, the guy was just showing off its articulation. Besides its just a testshot people need to calm down.

    I'm getting Klaatu vibes off this Dragstrip.

    I thought Klaatu was one of the best figures XTB ever did, and if the quality is like the previous stunticons, their dragstrip could surpass that. Its so damn sharp and clean.

    So I would assume this should be the end of you posting in this thread right? Since you hate it. Are you going the Fans Toys route? Like it has been said, options are great. Who'd have thought we'd have one set of Stunticons let alone 3?

    I personally like these ones. Toon accurate and scaled the way I like it. I think the Fans Toys look good too. Can't go wrong. Great time to be collecting these.

    Gravestone looks good so far. Very much looking forward to seeing the fully painted figure... and what he comes with (trailer-wise).

    No, you are making a false assumption. This is the thread for the whole set. I like the cars. Just Gravestone and the arm shells suck.

    Ah, so you agree it looks bland to you right now.
    My opinion was based on everything I see now, and maybe that would change when I see the finished product, but given what I see, it looks bland and that's including proportions, detailing, and general structuring of everything. There are a lot of ugly transformation bits and crude looking edges. Noticing the same thing on dragstrips inner leg parts.

    FYI this is a prototype and it looks anything but bland (to me)

    Ya'll need to calm your butts. This is a prototype showing off its range of articulation and honestly, it's one of the most impressive-looking XTB figures to date. You don't have to like it, but let's not rip the photographer's head off for doin his job. At least his arms and legs aren't backwards or his shoulders untabbed like a certain company likes to do.

    Lmao you’re comparing an IDW to a toon accurate G1 prototype and saying it’s more exciting? Next thing you’ll tell me is that the sky is blue lololol

    For this I will get the G2 version, because we all know FanToys probably won't do one.

    So you agree that toon accuracy is blander than IDW figures. In that case it should have been obvious that calling a prototype bland could have many reasons for why I'd deem it so and not just because it's unfinished and a prototype, and yet you've gone on with this silly back and forth because, I guess my opinion troubles you so. G1 figures like XTB Andras are less bland to me, same with Sovereign, quakewave, etc. If you excuse bland G1 figures as just being more toon accurate, then hey, whatever works for you. We are just looking for different things from our toys. Anyway, I've said my piece on the figs. Enjoy, to whoever will enjoy these.

    I am not saying toon accuracy is blander. All I’ve said is that you’re just kind of just stating the obvious by saying an unpainted prototype is bland and not really contributing anything of value.. in fact, he first post was such an obvious observation that I had to check that you know it wasn’t painted yet, because otherwise it didn’t really make sense to point out the obvious like that.. IdW iS mOrE StYLiZEd ThaN G1. Well no shit....

    Seems like you're just butthurt that someone had something negative to say on this figure. Not cool to attack other members just because you disagree. You're also mischaracterizing all the statements I've made previously. Just let it go.
