That one was the first one I can remember where he just was like "whatever this dude is terrible" which I actually found hilarious!!

It was funny, but I wouldn't have aired that mess. It just seemed un-professional to me. Maybe that's their shtick? I would have re-filmed it and said "this figure is bad, don't buy it, the end" and showed it in a pile of broken parts :lol:

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! It's not his shtick, just a one-off. Most of his videos are thoroughly informative! Especially his ones about the KO MPs. Gives you a really good idea of what to look for.

Regardless, I watch all of his TF videos.

Cool cool, well the figure did look cool and I preferred it's look over the other one, but it was just a mess.

I sub to RPA, but I never really hang-out on youtube unless I'm listening to music.

I preferred him too, especially in the gray model phase when he had more accurate dimensions and a few extra details. If I was a customizer I'd buy him and pin all the screws and tighten everything up, but even at the $60 The Chosen Prime has him for right now it is too much money for something that will fall apart until I get around to repairing it.

Bring on the MP Wheeljack retool!!

In other news, I saw that Seibertron has the BotCon Reflector set for sale on his eBay page. I can't believe I didn't pull the trigger when he was on the TF Club Store

I just want as much "official" product as I can have in my specific displays! Is that too much to ask?! :-(

It's REALLY bad. I don't know how anyone selling it at full price can sell it at full price right now.

In better news (instead of bots that fall apart when you look at them), lets get back to the pics of the bots that are worthy of upgrades..shall we?

The head upgrade's inspiration:

Some thoughts about the upgrade:
- Plastic quality is top notch!
- I like the newly defined visage, but seeing the inspiration makes me wish he had blue eyes and a face color that matched something on his body..
- Speaking of eyes, the light piping is lost, and now I wish they were blue as well.
- Articulation is bananas. You can clearly see him looking down at me taking the picture, all imposing and such.
- The extra little turrets/dishes are cool, but EXTREMELY tight. I had to twist them back and forth to get them into the designated areas. Which I just realized are ALL OVER HIM. Seriously may need to pick up some of those "MechTech" weapons in a lot on eBay or somthing..I can't wait to see where they look best in city/convoy(?) mode.

Before and After's SixSigma should arrive today. I'm really excited for him!! Weapons ERRYWHERE!! :michaelbay:

This guy may be my new favorite Transformer until my next one comes along. And to think I've had him for almost 4 years and I'm just now getting around to enjoying him. :lol:

Seibertron has all of the things! That's how you kids get your post counts so high :lol:

Also, using the image of the Plexymetro above..I think this was more the inspiration of the face..

Does the excuse "I don't watch TV" help me any?

EDIT: I need to go finish my second playthroughs of WfC and FoC. :michaelbay:

So this guy showed up yesterday afternoon:

And he is amazing!

Wait until you see the gun modes!!

News Credits: 15 · Sat May 21, 2016 7:49 am

No turrble.

Gun legs is cool, and WAY bigger than I thought.

News Credits: 15 · Sat May 21, 2016 5:10 pm

Well.. the guns are just hanging out there really. Those two don't peg in. Everything else has a place to peg though! And there's a lot of places!!

It's crazy to think this, but with all I have invested in Metroplex time and money wise, he may be the new centerpiece of the collection! He's REALLY awesome now. I'm also wondering if I need TR/TL Fortress Maximus..

Holy he's big! :shock:

I mean, I knew that, but damn :lol:

News Credits: 15 · Sat May 21, 2016 7:12 pm

I'm tellin' ya Shaj, I forgot how big this guy was in all modes. He's really a lot of fun for his size. I can't wait to tighten his knees and hips though. I want to be able to move him a little easier in all modes.
