I'm guessing that hand/foot is supposed to pop into Trailbreaker's backpack with the fingers out to give that classic Trailcutter look. I've seen in another picture where the thumb appears to fold completely flat.Delta Magnus wrote:And Trailbreaker's handfootgun looks excellent! I'm really liking the 2-fingered clamp look they went with.

KO, of a 3p you say? I'm OK with that if the quality is there.
The quality is confirmed to be there. The only difference is that the ko version of superions feet has painted gattling guns.SillySpringer wrote:I hate KO
Ko has as much its place in the hobby as 3p. I would love to see any 3p company sue a ko company over stealing their intellectual property
Nah. Whilst the legality of 3P stuff can be brought into question due to the finicky nature of IP, they are actually doing the engineering and design work themselves- they aren't just cloning HasTak's molds or anything, and all their work is from a tangible point of view original. KO makers on the other hand literally just clone other people's hard work without putting in any original work themselves and profit off of actual, undeniable theft.
If anyone hates KO I am the guy who wants all KOs to burn in hell. 
Nuff said.

I can't help but wonder if Takara's version will be any prettier with metallic/pearlescent white, and possibly vac-metal/gold-chrome cockpit windows/eyes & lynx-head, and shinier/deeper red & blue plastics.
The only thing that I hate is the ugly slotted/box-grater plastic of his wing undersides, they really need to STOP doing that garbage!
Delta Magnus wrote:Smokescreen and Wheeljack just look awful- like, cheap knockoff levels of awful. Wheeljack I'd like if he had more paint to be fair, but poor Smokescreen! At least Wheeljack had a proper reshell- Smokescreen is just Streetwise with a new head and new colours.

Wheeljack though looks terrible, i was really looking forward to him but now not so much. Looks like a giant white blob, again hasbro ruins a good mold by being cheap.
Why, hello again, Shattered Glass Sky Lynx!carytheone wrote:

To be honest, I really like those slots. They aren't visible in shuttle mode (since they face down) while in the other modes they give the wings a more articulated look, as if they can actually flex, bend, and flap.
Sure, they could have made the wings solid with sculpted detail, but it wouldn't look as dynamic. Also, do you know what sculpted detail looks like on white plastic?
Wheeljack.

If you're okay living with the knowledge that what you have in your collection is a fake, then by all means, be handy, take the easy route.
But me? I take pride in my collection, I want the real thing. If that means I have to wait and hunt longer, then so be it.

You already do this to Alpha Bravo. At least let us have something new that you don't demonize.

Dude, read between the lines...
Don't you see the double standard ? When I bring up KO's I get the sermon about going "off topic". When someone else brings up KO's the mods join in on the debate.
Don't worry, I wont be putting Sky Reign in the toilet. I like the Sky Lynx figure as a stand alone piece. I have no plans on ever using him as a torso. Hopefully 3rd parties come up with an upgrade to make him split in two halves. And Id be totally down for a KO Upsized Sky Lynx in Leader scale.
