In all honesty, is Leader Class Grimlock a good buy?

Will there be any further Leader Class releases?

Personally, I think Voyager is good enough, no need to fork out rm100 more for bigger size robot mode, but uglier t-rex mode. Voyager size might be small, but that depends how it scales with scorn and slug in the movie later, we shall see it soon. Afterall, the leader class is much smaller than ROTF/DOTM OP, it doesn't look right when standing together with all the Leaders in previous movies.
my 2 cents. hmm.gif

actually I for one, welcome the new price tag for Hasbro deluxe.

Thats the whole line I can skip, well, evasion prime maybe am getting.

makes me happy each time I buy 3rd party transformer smile.gif

Had been holding Evasion Prime in hand a few times when shopping, but put em back on shelf.
Just wonder what the reason is that evasion prime catches most ppl interest? The G1 looking alt mode?

I would say yes. I am a G1 fan.

But that makes me thinking, since that mold is so awesome, why not make it a leader class?

Perhaps Hasbro knows that kids nowadays only recognize Optimus Prime in his Peterbilt form. sweat.gif

Probably the only Dinobot I'll get from the AOE line.

Outstanding bot mode albeit the rather simplistic transformation.

In fact, i prefer good bot mode with simple transformation. Thats even harder to achive.

Landcross, I got a KO version. Old school KO are very close to originals except the paint app and decos.

Ultra magnus character in cartoon was created based on diaclone toy. The toy is featuring the same truck cab as OP, but in blue color (white when branded as transformers) that transforms into the same robot as OP, with different trailer at converts into armor suit for the robot itself. The armor suit concept only exists in toy lines including G1, mp02 (white truck cab), Fansproject infamous City commander. However, in cartoon, Ultra magnus transforms as a whole, instead of using the trailer as armor suit for the robot that forms the cab. Later, KFC adopted this cartoon accurate transformation, so is mp22, which should suit most transformers fan appetite better.

No comment on the plastic quality, i dont think ROTF is much better neither. Size wise, yes so much decreased for the class. But gotta say that AOE box art design is very cool.

Anyway thats just one of them, i am not sure if there are good ones in summit

From what I can remember, you don't actually see Hound and Crosshairs transform. Its in one scene, they are in robot form, and in the next cut, they are in their vehicle mode. The same goes  for Drift actually for his Bugati form.

only OP and Lockdown transformed. galvatron and gang are morphing

hmm.. not easy to see 3rd party ori in less than 150? is it each or whole  combiner? blush.gif

btw, they hire hasbro colorist? why must make it looks so KO?? sweat.gif

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Jul 4 2014, 09:24 PM)
it's the whole combiner.. according to benscollectables on youtube, they hired TFC to do the design, then manufactured by a china company
i'm not sure why it's so cheap though, if it was the material used or just because they don't want to charge as high as other 3rd party companies.. but some people seem to say it's quite alright in terms of quality
*
Third party companies make big money from using Transformer's popularity for free. Without the name of TF, they sell at RM110. So now who says third party products are rather more worthy to buy compared to Hastak, and the bullshit like they need much more setup fee to design and make the mold and marketing and distribution as a small player. rclxub.gif

you might call it bullshit.. but fact is, we still pay because their designs are FAR SUPERIOR to hastak.. if hastak would step up their game, then maybe 3rd parties have to lower their prices to remain competitive

as it is now, people are willing to pay Leader class prices for Deluxe size figures simply because 3rd parties are giving them what they want rclxub.gif so, sadly, right now they can run the market however they see fit as long as they keep producing what collectors want
*
I mean it's bullshit because they are selling at very high prices with no license paid and low production costs, no matter how good the designs are, and in fact not all of them justify the price with the quality and design too.
not all Hastak stuffs are bad, and not all third party stuffs are good neither. Sad thing is that ppl are calculative when making decision on buying nice MP cars such as prowl, lambor, as it's exactly what you said "Leader class price for deluxe class size", but on the other hand, made PO for third party stuffs with a finger-snap. rclxub.gif I dun understand what is the mindset in some of these collectors nowadays.
I have third parties stuffs, but I don't blindly buy third party stuffs because it is premium. Again I have to re-iterate, if one day third party stuffs set their price lower, ppl don't buy anymore, you get what I mean.

Nice looking. After watching the movie, knowing his character, his face doesnt look like the type only mother will like anymore to me. The tail that we were puzzled why it is designed that way, turned out to be tux, made him a cool autobot striker
