Look at what Mech-Tech does.

It stunts your growth.


Barricade is the exception height wise. Worst offender of this bunch. Jolt's pretty close in size.

Thank you very much for posting pictures of the new DOTM toys side-by-side with their ROTF counterparts !
I missed the comparison in the earlier DOTM toy galleries ...

My conclusion ? I like the new molds, specially the Deluxe Barricade (he looks like a scaled-down version of the HA Barricade, that's a great mold).

However, the DOTM toys are really missing some paint applications (specially Jolt and Sideswipe).
Who knows ? Maybe Takara will surprise us with some fine paint-jobs ...

The real-kill for me is the smaller size. I feel frustrated just by imagining those toys displayed together my ROTF collection. The solution is to buy all new toys and make a new collection for DOTM, or buy nothing. I will end-up buying a few selected must-haves, like the Leader Class toys and the new Human Alliances.

What I really would like to become reality ? A KO company releasing copies of the DOTM molds without the crappy mechtech weapon and decently painted, but scaled-up to match the sizes in the ROTF toy-line.
Let's wait and see ...

I'd buy Sideswipe if his colors weren't so bland, because that gun is badass. Too bad they seem to give different Mechtech weapons to repaints.


Jolt's actually pretty cool. I like him better than his ROTF incarnation -- except for his color scheme.


I have to agree on both counts. The mold looks pretty good, color scheme not so much.

Oh no no no. This one looks better, but transformation wise? No. Those legs are a total bitch to work with when going back to vehicle mode. I cut a finger doing it. Even Peaugh complained about the transformation.

As for the figure's size, he is somewhat shorter, but depending on how you configure the legs, he stands almost as tall as his original counterpart.

Not a bad figure, but better? Not entirely sure of that.

EDIT: I like Jolt's legs, but not his feet. I still vastly prefer the ROTF Jolt, which I will keep. This DOTM one is not a replacement, it's a joke.

EDIT 2: Sideswipe has a Mechtech vehicle mode. If you look under the hood, there are holes near the corners of the front bumper. There are posts on his arms. Those posts go into those holes, and it forms a Mechtech vehicle mode. Bumblebee has something akin to that as well. You lift up his roof, and there's two cannons.

This was revealed over at TFW. I don't have the link or the pics, but there is provided proof and it does work.
