That's why i rarely venture over there it's plagued with "turbo nerds"

It's good for getting up to date news, a ton of my Apollyon updates have come from there, sure you have to sift through a fair bit of "his crotch is too big" or "the Legs look awful!" And now "aghhhhh those dimples, pre-order CANCELED!" But they have had a lot of useful Apollyon updates.

It's also a good place to pick up a bargain or two if you have the patience.

The good and bad with TFW 3rdp thread is its so packed its hard to read through all the comments .

Like i said its very rare i pop over i'm not a member theres no point i would just get lost in wave after wave of turbo nerds .

i dont even think ive stole any photos or updates from the site , i know a lot of in the know are over there its just too busy for me .

Yeah it gets pretty congested in there, but your right they seem to have a fair few ITK posters, a few reviewers also, optibotimus, peaugh and benscollectables have popped up in the Apollyon thread.

Seriously, thanks for giving me a good LOL :grin:

There's something wrong with every toy. He looks damn good to have some real "non" issues.

Agreed, I wish dimples were the only thing I had to worry about on all my figures.

Everyone is gonna find a fault in something. That is by no means enough for me (personally) to cancel my pre-order. A ridiculous face or paint apps? Sure. Mold dimples? Not so much. And at least the pictures are good enough to show the flaws

I would probably sing a different tune if I opened the box and saw a bunch of flaws I never saw before.

Actually think the face sculpt is great on this toy. It's the best G1 Megatron Update toy face i've ever seen.

Like how the lower face is sculpted in such a way that it gives the face a sticking out human like chin.

Thought the Translucent red clear eyes and forehead sculpting was above and beyond.

He really is a thing of beauty isn't he Mr T?

The face and scale are what sold me on the figure. I think everything is perfectly proportioned. The eyes aren't light piped are they?!

And yes Sir Lube, he is beautiful!

I'm not getting Apollyon, but this picture is amazing. Might need to sig it somehow...

Love the pose with Optimus. That may be roughly how I end up presenting them myself!

Nice vid! I cannot find the words for how amazing this guy looks.

Finished watching the review and gotta say I am still love with this figure. X-transbots will need to resolve one major issue though. In the video the bicep rrotation was not working properly due to clearance issues and was stressing the plastic on the upper arm...

The ball jointed shoulders are and will be an issue over time...bbut I can see why they had to engineer him that way..so I can live with that...mmay snug them up a bit somehow...

Agreed, they both look like easy fixes to be honest, event the bicep swivel. They are very minor issues and have not effected my opinion at all, this guy is going to be immence!

Great video rundown. Still can't wait! Such an improvement over MP05 :grin:

So many accessories! I'll add Kremzeek from MP05, then he is complete!

And the Deception sigil.

THEN he's complete.

Until something else comes about to add completeness :lol:
