That looks like Sentinel's gun. Maybe it's on the same sprew as Infinitus?

So its probably just Astrotrain's gun that they atached by mistake

Nah, it's definitely a much lighter blue than that.

good news then, we get an extra gun!

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2016 1:44 pm**

It's the same blue as his face. Hence the sprew, sproe, sprue debacle. :-P

Now I have to stop talking about it or I may be tempted to pre-order it. :BANG_HEAD:

I wish they could find better ways to incorporate the weapons, especially the swords. If he or they came with 2 swords placing it one the side would be okay, but it just looks awkward the way it is.

Since this will be Takara's main release of that mold, and is part of the legends line, this isnt the kind of figure to have second thoughts on when its released.

I will be preordering it, that will also make me more relaxed about waiting to find Alpha Trion on discount if that happens. I just hope I like the mold.

PS: of course I say that, but 1) this figure might end up being part of HLJ's next big summer sale and 2) I might end up biting the bullet and getting alpha trion too when I see it just so I could experience the mold.

And it could go... some way to ease people into paying this much for him. I mean it's not a LOT, but it's still something.

Thats just cause for some reason your voyagers are reasonably priced in the UK (unlike your leaders and deluxes).

Not really. The Voyagers seem to be suffering a price hike; a lot of places I've seen them go for between £26 and £30

Will, I honestly fear you will not like this mold. :-s

ah ****! $35 US plus shipping is not just some chump change that I can waist on not knowing if its good or not. I mean, I got Bukadora for a a very similar reasong but that was like what $20 shipped, so that was fine.

And Kurona, that voyager price is still proportional. Give or take, the classes go up in factors of 2 for price in canada. Deluxe 15-20, Voyager 30-35, Leader 55-60. Takara's is on the more expensive end of that price point though. They boosted their prices quite a bit since the prime line.

Unless you can truly enjoy this figure for the genius character design, and the magnificent sculpting and detailing. The transformation is OK. Nothing spectacular. The articulation in lion mode is pretty non existent. The ship is nothing less than a space log. Articulation in bot mode is great though.

I love this figure for the bot mode first, and the design of that crumpy old space knight. Liocorn pauldrons FTW!

That reminds me of this guy which I actually did like (and spent as much money on):

By the way D-Max, what you are looking at here is probably number 1 on that majestic list (still not finalized).

Someone called?

Use any Convoy head (Ginrai, Diac, Infinitus) as needed.

I've been waiting for this to come up. That Lio Convoy is right up there for majesty in a Transformer. I'm not sure if you'd make Alpha Lion and Lio Convoy 1 number since they are the same mold with just paint and titan master differences, but they both belong on that list.

Oh and I can agree with that Prime, though maybe It'd be a battle between this mold and the lion/spaceship guys.

With my experience with Alpha Trion the sword doesn't really like to stay on the side too much. I kind of wish there was a way to mount it underneath the runway, or between the legs for a Dai-Gurren kind of look (that I've been trying so hard to achieve.)

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2016 4:37 pm**

I did it. I just did it.

I love this mold. And all that gold!

Whew!
