Hell yeah... triple changers SHOULD be voyager sized to cater for their mould /transformation complexity. Springer is a PURE WIN. The vehicle mode is sleek and bot mode is lean with huge arms (Springer is the Transformer equivalent of a bodybuilder in G1 character bio). The copter mode tail is a bit thick but I think the designers have tried their best in obscuring the vehicle mode tyres into /as the tail rotors.
I'm gonna grab on sight.

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Feb 10 2013, 11:40 PM) i think blitzwing holds well on his own too i'm genuinely intrigued at how he can get from » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  to this  very cleverly engineered transformation, it seems.. i'm glad i don't have to fork out money for 3rd party prices for a decent triple changer (hopefully!) Same here. Im in it for the transformation complexity.. but from the photos so far... the jet mode looks bulky . And the robot mode knees proportion is a bit weird.... (and also the shoulder sag down like WFC onslaught). IM keeping a very "Demanding" standard on TF toys and Im happy I saved tons of $$$ there. Just buy the ones I truly love . the rest can wait discount.

Dunt think Hasbro will pull off alot of Titan class figures coz not many deserves that size anyway... perhaps a trypticon and they're done for the fiscal year?
Im just curious what kind of joints they'll be using on Metroplex... they must hit a good balance between joint tightness and ease of transformation/posability and of coz.. durability from wear and tear.

QUOTE(jhcj @ Feb 25 2013, 03:40 PM) one thing i've noticed on foc ss is that you cannot see screw heads anymore. i hope future tfs will be like this too! the lack of screws will be a bane for customizers. there's no place to "gently" dismantle the toys besides brute force.

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Feb 27 2013, 12:16 PM) i just realized blot/blight has very obvious hands on his feet  at least the other terrorcons don't have them hanging out so obviously cool. he can kick and punch at the same thing while eating a bowl of mee with his actual hands.

QUOTE(jhcj @ Mar 5 2013, 12:43 PM) lol i already have the takara ver...was just wondering if i should get another one just to keep MISB  and no, yellow is not G1 accurate. yellow is TOY accurate, meaning the G1 toy also had yellow visors. If the price is right (<<rm500) .. I will literally close both eyes to this flaw. main bot + 5 tapes with 3 unique moulds = near-unlimited interactivity/playability fun. The fan-mode "base" just makes it even more desirable.

QUOTE(david888 @ Mar 5 2013, 01:38 PM) don't think the retail price will be <<RM500 (well, discount/promotion price doesn't count). look at the MP-10 for takara & hasbro, local retail price doesn't different very much. and considering the sellability of MP-10 , Im banking on them "learning from their mistake" of pricing it so expensive.

I fear the label "Asia exclusive" already sealed the fate of the pricing for these reissues.

There are obvious emptiness between his chest and the back "Car hood" kibble. there is a possibility they have implemented interior details (seat/steering) into these 2 boys.

QUOTE(kiien_kyan @ Mar 8 2013, 11:27 AM) to hide his shoulder cannon? like deluxe prowl? Oh now you mentioned it. I gotta revise my observation. Half the car turns into the chunky lower legs. the arms should tucks inside where the seats should be. Well I hope what you said is true. I wanna see how they hide the cannons in the car mode. MP class shouldn't be partsformers.

QUOTE(riderkickxx @ Mar 11 2013, 09:32 AM) Got 2 gimmicks!!!! 1 - all the drones are interchangeble (can be arm / leg) 2. The drill drone - the drill spins when the drone moves  3. (as mentioned earlier) exclusive "Year of the Snake" exclusive label. Since TF Energon stuff were released many,many years ago... dont expect the toy engineering to be on par with live-action-movie (which I think many put benchmark on, especially those who pickup this hobby after the 1st live-action movie was shown).

QUOTE(orestes @ Mar 11 2013, 11:06 AM) Please consider calling the poslaju hotline about it..provide them the tracking number,u wil get your answer..their system most update compare the online website.. Ranting here wont get you anywhere..seriously.. Im guessing probably your address wrote wrong,poslaju couldnt find it.. Cant always blame the poslaju until u knw the real reason.. Ah yes... my parents house is always my defacto address for my oversea parcel (mostly LEGO hehehe) coz got people to receive and signoff... (100% no problem till now ) When it comes to local posts, got one occasion they actually give up finding my address (maklumlah... kampung baru) and I have to go to Poslaju center and pickup. the parcel stayed there for 2 weeks (minus CNY holidays) with no-action-taken. conclusion: just call and self-pickup.

Cheap things are not beautiful.The most beautiful stuff I bought are bought during clearance at cheaper price after a long shelwarming period. beautiful things are not cheap but they will become so when the right time comes.

QUOTE(advocado @ Mar 12 2013, 11:52 AM) what series are these? sold in normal shops? how much? about rm200 I think for preorders. Will be more expensive when stock actually arrives. I'm trying VERY HARD to hold back. the molds are gorgeous.
