    Favorite? G2, of course- I mean, I prefer the toon deco of Dragstrip, with the visored head and the shoulder wheels perpendicular to the ground. And that design in that sleek black and blue? Sweet! In terms of best made, well, the Youth version is their go around and it seems to be the best toleranced. Shoulder wheels no where near as tight as the other two, and the waist not nearly as loose.

    Lol that was fun. Looking forward to the full video. That truck is rather handsome (as trucks go).

    I don't know a lot about the people behind Xtb but I see these names on various platforms: 598 Robots, Keith, ibot, and I think 539 Designs? (might have imagined that last one?) are they all the same guy? Looking at his YouTube channel, the 598 robots guy seems to design the Xtb figures I'm guessing in the US then sends those designs to Xtb to manufacture? In the Neptune video though he didn't know the reason behind one of the alternate faces, but if he designed it wouldn't he know why? Just curious to know more about how they work. Then there's KFC toys, I know there's a link somewhere.

    In the vehicle mode, why is the gun pointed directly at the drivers head? :p

    Great looking group! I'm leaning towards putting the toon head on the toy body, but I do love the G2 version a lot as well. Once the full set is out, it's going to be a tough decision on whether to put the toy version or G2 version in Menasor (assuming no color is on Menasor's arms)

    Did you paint the driver? For some reason, Auggie Cahnay comes to mind.

    Naw, that's how the driver came. But yeah, the driver was distinct enough looking that I was kinda wondering if it was an Auggie Cahnay reference.

    I've mentioned it before, but there's a second storage location under the car.

    It's likely the result of XTB's nod to alt mode weapon placement on the G1 toy.

    Is overheat the only team member with hidden weapon storage in alt mode?

    Could be. Could also be a holdover from a time when he was going to come with two guns.

    There's no hidden weapon storage on the other three that I could find.

    yeah, i didn't think about that. the XTB car bots dont store their guns that well as they are simply plugged into the hole in their alt mode.

    Transformissions (TFM) on the other hand managed to find a way to have the guns stored away neatly.

    Depends on what you want out of the alt mode, and what I mean is that, if you want the vehicles to seem combat ready, having the guns brought to bear, then xtb does it. If you want total real world alt mode immersion, TFM's got it...
    I'd like both ideally, which Overheat can do, but yeah.

    I am actually stoked to get the double barreled guns from the trailer going on each fig. I hope they integrate well and even peg in better than the stock guns.

    Also, didn't see any guns on Gravestones alt mode... hmmm
