How does he feel in terms of joints, ports and solidity, daimchoc? Now that you've messed around with the figure for a while?

Well, the plastic seems to feel a bit soft. Not sure how to word it... Malleable to a point - has some flex to it. Doesn't seem to use the same plastic as that from Giant. Still, it's a great figure and lots of possibilities due to the PCC connectors. I need to do some more messing around with it, especially in alt mode.

So when does BBTS get him in stock ?

Is it like the plastic in their Dagger Interspace upgrade set, or softer than that even?

Any week now? I haven't seen any firm dates, but based on others getting it, I expect it on any of their over-seas shipments in the next couple of weeks. Marine and Jungle are still listed as June, and Chaos/Paladin July.

If you want the big Gats, you'll need to reverse the forearms. The hands/fists are now on his feet for balance and support.

Oh Paladin's quite big too!

That's nice to know.

Daim, you look like you're having a lot of fun with this guy. Still waiting on mine stateside. Watch it come in Monday, after I've already shipped my loot for the month. :oops:

Hey daimchoc, if you have any toys of the Thirteen Original Transformers, could you post pics of Chaos with any of them?

What have they made besides Cybertron Vector Prime and Botcon Nexus Prime?

I always forget about Titanium The Fallen, and that's a fantastic use of Protoform Prime there.

So essentially two actual ones and other repurposed ones. Ok.
Less confused now.

Only repurposed one I see is Prima. The rest are the official toys of said characters.

I can't count Nexus Thingy because of his exclusivity and because he's bloody horrible. Soundblaster too, for similar reasons, but also because he just looks like Goth Soundwave.

My Thirteen collection will be this guy as The Fallen and Vector Prime. Prima deserves better than that protoform Optimus.

Well, Megatronus The Fallen is redundant after Chaos/Paladin, I think.
As for Soundblaster, if he's Soundblaster, how is he Logos Prime?

"Soundblaster" is a false name he used. The toy had no real bio of its own. Just a copy of Soundwave's. The fiction had to give the character his own identity.

Specifically, when he (Logos) hijacked the (almost) deceased Primal and BW Megatron post climactic finale and threw them into his own time-and-space-playroom.

I only have the Vector Prime (Dark Brown?) and my ROTF Bruticus has the FP Colossus add-ons. Would that work?

Sorry, but I don't know/remember if it's the Energon or Cyberton version... Also, there were a couple of other figures that were asked if it was possible to get a picture with Chaos... Maybe you could get the pictures yourself, since it seems you're very helpful.

EDIT:

It seems that I have the 'Universe' version...

The third chapter of which, BTW, has finally been translated into English.
