Hi guys, Here we post the updated hands for Transistor. Previous hands set a comparison with current all joints articulated hands!! the new hands with total 30 joints articulated posable. Also we tested the color of the trumpet/ loudspeaker, which looks nice so far, what do you think?

Looks great! But I fully expect a Takara version of the character.

That makes it even worse. If he paid for it, he had every right to be blunt about the quality. Instead, he chose to stay quiet to avoid upsetting someone. :-?

That's the most paranoid bit of reasoning I've ever heard.

I'm more inclined to think along the lines of "he paid a lot for it, so he's justifying his purchase, if only subconsciously." People do that a lot.

Really dislike the overly simplistic face a few replies above. Think it makes the character toy look less bright, lower ranking, newbie and kinda autistic.

Thankfully this toy comes with a secondary more serious replacement face. That makes the character toy look more meaner, higher intelligence, experienced higher ranking and less autistic.

I finished watching that review on Kronos. Wow, that guy had a lot of problems. Like, a LOT of problems!

He might have used the language "piece of ****", but he didn't recommend it. It sounded like he didn't really want to give the figure such a negative review, probably because the designer was active on boards. He seemed to really want to like the figure. But I don't think it's fair to say that he didn't give an honest review.

That's what i mean the guy was very reserved about expressing himself , the head snapped off then the foot brakes and it looks like roadkill lying on the table , after that i think enough is enough who cares about upsetting the designer , a show of anger is more then welcome in this review instead he almost tries to act like it's not a problem .

The channel is catered to all ages , so calling it a piece of sh*t might not suit :lol:

I can't really fault you on the logic here. Really, after all the breakages, even if I liked how it looked, I couldn't recommend it at all.

BUT I have been in the "denial" stage of a bad purchase. Where you feel disappointment well up inside. So I don't think he's been biased by being sponsored or anything, it's just normal.

Like I said earlier - one guy's opinion. No more, no less. Although, seeing how much it breaks and partforms, I gotta say it's not really impressive.

Kid viewers are no excuse. There are plenty of phrases he could have used to not endorse the figure without using explicit language such as:

"As you can see, this figure broke on camera due to it's poor quality. I highly recommend to my all viewers that you avoid purchasing this figure."

This guy obviously didn't want to burn any bridges. If he did pay for this figure, I'm sure he was granted an exchange with a couple free test shots shoved in the package. :-?

I read a slew of replies months ago over at the TFW boards. Over at TFW, a whole bunch of TFW Members got into heated replies with that Kronos designer. The end result, was the Kronos designer saying he was leaving the TFW boards and made threats that he wasn't making other character toy projects he had planned.

Think the cartoon simplistic face might have looked decent had it had the rectangular chin beard below the mouth. Luckily their is that seconday face with the chin beard.

The TFW members ask the 3rd party designers to remove the chin beards on the toys during their feedback reply sessions with the designers.

This is why Omnigonix Sunstreaker has a face with the chin beard and another face with the chin beard. because the TFW members gave feedback saying they wanted the chin beard to get removed.

Like the rectangular chin beards on the faces. Due to a large amount of the 1984-1986 Transformers toys having those rectangular chin beards.

Well, there you go, then (and not you, Tsut, hust "you" in general). No wonder he seemed so hesitant to say what was wrong with it. No need for a big conspiracy or some big bias.

Well, ok. Maybe we should turn this back to the topic. Blaster... I hope they release the cassettes separately. That's all I'm into. I'd get an official Blaster, but not a 3rd party MP one. Although I gotta say, with the deluge of tapes recently, my wild tape ride may be over. I think they're all neat designs, but damn! So many are coming with larger figures I don't really want.

But KFC has already released a whole bunch of Autobot cassette-bots that are meant for blaster. Heavily guessing KFC Ironpaw-Steeljaw, Rhino-horn and other KFC cassettes-bots will be able to fit inside KFC Blaster and 1986 HasTak Blaster.

Doubt, KFC would create a Blaster or Soundwave that isn't compatible with all of their cassette-bots toys.

Agree, It takes the toy to the next level.

The shinny ruby red remind me of the premium colors Takara's Car Robots Fire Convoy's super scaled toy used.
