Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0

That and Kawamori specifically designed the 25 to be slender for the armor. Eh..I could do without that...springloaded missle hatches would be nice though.

We think alike man, thats the very same thing I did with mine!

For me its Robovision Prime. Awesome I wonder if Knight26 is in it? Awesome but dated, if Ultra Scourge is based on him I hope he turns out even better.

Its up now, TFW2005 was doing forum maintenance, and thats our sister site, so it might have something to do with that. Seen 8, but neither 9 or the vehicles.

They did...the way the hand folds in is different too, it pivots so that it goes in palm first this time, along with the wider forearm the hands are bigger.

Check out this list from the Walmart computers: Crosses fingers that DX Starscream is Armada Starscream. The 4th Marvel Crossover sounds like Thing. Storm Cloud is the Decepticon repaint of Powerglide. I am hoping Scourge is an all new mold based on RID Scourge. Besides why would a new G1 Scourge be out of scale to Cyclonus and Galvatron? Its not like it needed an update but if its a more modernized, more articulated, more accurate rendition then I am all for it! Though honestly, the Laser Rod Prime mold was just damn good and is hard to beat. If its just a mere reissue without the trailer, then that sucks. The trailer was an awesome base. Not to mention, getting the cab alone feels like a rip off for $25. Plus, all the Ultras in Classics have been new molds so far....

Should be $9.99 or so, the first sightings of Classics was at TRU, and they are $10.99 there.

Save, is the transformation any different than the 1/48, and if so, is it for better or worse? I hear nothing but good things about this toy.

Its the best Leader Class Megatron so far. The articulation is great, the paint job is accurate, the alt mode is decent, and theres nothing that rubs me wrong unlike some of the previous Leader Megatron's from older lines(like funky Unicron colored Cybertron Megatron, immovable head/weird ass alt mode Movie Megatron, and I-Should-Be-Galvatron-Instead-Energon Megatron).

F^&*(ing awesome, thats the best reply I have seen all day. Alright folks, is this game better, or at least on par with KOTOR? I believed in Bioware after playing that game.

I think that maybe the Henkei one will have the 82 plates, and as such will be a Diaclone homage. I eagerly await Sideswipe, Ironhide, Ratchet, Cyclonus, Hound, the Ultras...damn..the thing I absolutely love about this line is that most releases are spaced out well, and it will be easier to save money. I even think Treadbolt looks bad ass. Now the only things left to complete the core IDW cast are most of the Decepticons. We need F-22 seekers, tank Megatron(the one he had in Infiltration), Blitzwing and the 2 Decepticon cars, the black and white one. Oh man I want IDW/Su based F-22 seekers. Now those I could see as voyagers. Hell, maybe even market them in the movie line as exlusives to Target or other retailers, as "Starscream's back up brigade". F-22s in seeker colors=WIN

I read a suggestion to put the guns on the side of the cab as smokestacks, and it looks better to me that way. I tried it yesterday. What is the alternate way? Definitely, Ultras even, that would have helped with Animated Blitzwing.

Transformation is impressive, but his robot and alt modes suffer, mainly the robot mode and his plane mode. His tanker mode isn't as bad. In robot mode, he has short arms and long legs. His claw contraption is weird. His transformation is more complex than Astrotrain's, and his articulation is better, but Astrochoo choo has the better robot mode surprisingly. He feels like a G1 Transformer only fully articulated. With bigger arms that could move side to side more, this probably would have been better than Space Choo choo. Prowl looks much worse online than in person, that is, unless you find one riddled with paint oversprays. I had to sift through a bunch to find one that had minimal sloppy paint apps. Articulation is nearly on par with Mirage, surprisingly. Transformation is pleasant, and with this version, nostalgia aside, I don't have any desire to own the original. Transformation is more complex than the Animated toys, and up there with some of the movie toys, yet less complicated than most Alternators. Sunstreaker is the most complex of the three. Transformation makes it seem like a mini Alternator. Actually, the transformation seems more complex than his Alternator version, or on par, the line is blurred. He also has more articulation than the Alternator version. Articulation is great, the automorph is simple in design, and excellent in execution, the fact that the same body can be used to make Sideswipe and still look considerably different shows brilliance in engineering. Overall this is a great showing for the first wave of Universe, despite being overshadowed by the Animated line. I am eagerly looking forward to the Ultras, yes all of them. Silverbolt is the most dissapointing but I like the new jet alt mode he has(hate the undercarriage, very surprised its worse than Movie Starscream!), hate how the jet mode is bolted to his back in robot mode, but its a character I like from childhood, has one hell of an update in alt mode, and can finally %^&*ing move right. Seems to me that the Ultra class is a balancing act. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Ultra announced will be another non combining, combiner leader. I am anxious for Ultra updates for Hotspot and Motormaster. So far we have 1 Decepticon gestalt leader and an autobot one, as well as 2 versions of the Powerglide mode, that makes 4 Ultras evenly balanced out amongst the factions for now. If Hotspot and MotorMaster are next, that can take up 1 wave and also keep the balance. Hotspot and Motormaster killed ass. Looked like Optimus, weren't Optimi, awesome 3rd/base/repair modes.

The previous 1/60s were an ambitious attempt by Yamato to make a modern VF-1 toy. For its time, it was the most detailed VF-1 toy out. What most fans did not like was the fact that transformation consisted of removing parts and swapping them. The amount of diecast was generous but ultimately led to the hip joints being worn down and becoming loose, as well as some cracks that could develop in the nose where the hips plugged in for battroid mode. Those were the main 2 reasons why fans were dissapointed with those toys. The new one has transformation with no necessary removal of parts, a more accurate sculpt that rivals the 1/48, less diecast as to no wear the joints down, a more balanced look especially in battroid, and is an all new mold.

I heard it does He will have the fixed arms, unfortunately it doesn't seem like Falcon or the greenshirts will. I'd buy it. Throw in some bazooka troopers and the upcoming paravipers too.

I WANT ONE IN LOW VIZ AND I KNOW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS ONE TOO!

Chunky

They even tampoed the skull budge behind the canopy! WIN!

I haven't heard yet. The multipacks are definitely a bargain now, especially the upcoming DVD packs.

Yes but with improvements, like Hikaru's 1J having a swappable heatshield. We have indirect hints that the Super O and ELINT will come out but nothing concrete. I recommend valkyrie-exchange.com.

Animated Ultra Magnus Review

Thanks Kresphy, you win! That VF-1J illustration in fighter mode is fantabulous.

Thanks man, thats what I like to hear. Eventually I will buy this, after wave 1 this was the Transformer I was looking forward to the most.

Yes, and he gained a few pounds when he showed up in the DDP books too.
