ToyWorld TW-01 Hegemon In-hand Images (My Hands!)

Postby El Duque » Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:00 pm

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Got my Hegemon from Robotkingdom. Sad that I can get things from Hong Kong in four days but domestic online retailers take over a week!

I have to say I'm very pleased and impressed with ToyWord's first outing! This is the definitive Classics Megatron. For that matter it's probably the best Megatron figure ever! It's got a few faults but from what I can tell they're minor.

The transformation sequence is complex, but not overly so. There were a few points during my initial run through that had me sweating, but nothing broke, stressed, etc. The plastic quality seems up to par. I had to shave down a few pegs to make them fit their corresponding holes.

Articulation:

Head - 360 rotation with slight up and down movement from the transformation
Arms- 360 Shoulders rotation with lateral movement, bicep swivel, ratcheted elbow, 360 wrist rotation
Waist/Chest - 360 rotation at the waist and between the chest and abdomen
Legs - ratcheted hips with lateral movement, mid-thigh swivel, ratcheted knees, ball jointed feet
The Gun barrel on his back can be positioned vertically, horizontally, or removed all together

My only complaint with the articulation is the lateral shoulder movement. I feel it should have been ratcheted, especially with the added weight on the fusion cannon side.

Accessories:

The translucent sword/pick axe is surprisingly nice. Looks much better in person than than I thought it would. The energon mace is excellent.

The gun add-ons are nice as well. The barrel extension splits in two and wraps around the gun barrel, the tip slides on to hold everything together quite securely. The stabilizer is disappointing, mainly because the rear section opens horizontally rather than vertically. Had they added a swivel it could have done both and would have looked a lot nice and closer to G1 Megatron.

Orange safety plug: comes right out, just held on with friction, no glue.

I should also note that the back kibble can be removed, the gun barrel, the trigger, and the panels that hang down the back of his thighs.

My biggest issue is with the translucent plastic in the arms and legs. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. It's basically translucent plastic for sake of translucent plastic. It looks superb in his head for light piping, but the rest doesn't seem necessary.

great pics! only problem I have is...now I bloody want it! Henkei is nice, and it's good to see there's little height difference as the Classics mold is plenty tall enough, but this one does look very good. Shame about the translucent plastic though, I don't get it at all either, except for the head of course.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

You lucky rascal! Well, thanks for the great pictorial. I"m looking forward to my copy shipping any day now. I'm glad that plastic is good, although I join the many who just don't understand the translucent red pieces other than in the head.

Great pics and review El Duque. I got mine yesterday too but the site was down and couldn't post (god I love RobotKingdom's shipping). I agree with all points you raised. This is the definitive Megatron and Takara could take some cues from this for MP Megatron V2. Particularly how the arms transform and the head sculpt. I also like how the fusion cannon is the perfect size in robot and gun mode.He is big but he looks good looking down over his army. Also, I found a cannon mode that isn't in the instructions. I don't know if you have found it yet. Take a look at my pics.

Im not gonna say I wont buy him, but seeing him tower over prime is really a turn off. I think ill wait to see exactly how many of them flood the market. The price might drop. I learned my lesson with Hercules. Plus there are supposed to be 2 other Megatrons coming out. Maybe one of them will be a little smaller.

These last few pics and the price increases have convinced me to grab it at the last place that still has it for $99 even though my budget says to wait until the end of the month. It just looks like everything Megatron's supposed to be.

Although Classics Galvatron is even more rediculously small in comparison. I wonder if Superlink Galvy would scale nicely? Looks about the right size ... if I have room on my display anyhow ...
