Transformers Victory Saber HasLab Backer Update:

Onward to Victory!

Let’s say go, Victory Saber HasLab backers! Check out some behind-the-scenes-photos of the Victory Saber HasLab! The Transformers Hasbro and Takara Tomy designers use these mold plans to know exactly the color and type of plastic each piece will be made with.

In the photos you can see the V-Shield, V-Lock Cannon, and the Translucent Autobot display stand. Can you spot the pieces of the Brain of Courage Brainmaster figure? Here’s a hint there are 5 pieces. Try to find them in molds, 3, 4, 13, and 18. Can you find them all?

Stay tuned for more HasLab backer updates as we take you through the development process on this awesome item.

Until next time, Let’s Say Go!

Parents, are your kids exited? Leave a comment below! :lol:

:lol:

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Wow, that's really cool to see all the parts laid out like that!

I've always found WIP stuff to be really cool, seeing how stuff is made and fit together and whatnot. I really do think these are neat and show the project coming along. :-D

Most likely two halves of the same thing.

Most likely it's a second blade that they prototyped out, the layout on paper shows only one blade. Probably trying to work out the best sword length for both Saber and Star Saber.

Probably one for each form so that Star Saber's sword doesn't feel too short for him but also Saber's sword doesn't feel too long. It's a common tactic.

That's what I was assuming, but Hasbro never mentioned two swords during the funding stage as far as I'm aware. So I think they might have either tossed one in as a bonus, or the others are right and it's two halves of the same sword, or they're still working on the length

I recall when they showed the resin prototype originally that they were working on making the sword so it could be oriented either way (parallel or perpendicular) within the hilt. It is possible that doing that required more than a 2 piece blade and the 2 pieces seen here plus the small part to the left make up the whole thing.

Ok that was an awesome update. I have worked with injection molding on some work/college products, so this is cool to see. I love all the updates they have done showing the whole design and manufacturing process.

I imagine with a project as extensive as VS, they will make absolutely sure the molds come out right. Still, if they follow this procedure on all their items, it raises even more questions about what happened with Jackpots head.

Probably only tested the parts they planned to use for Jazz so they never actually tested Jackpots head the first time. When they realized there were mold issues there it was a little late and way too expensive to fix the mold just for his head. I'm still trying to figure out why they made his head in three parts instead of two as normal or even one. Even Jazz's head is a normal front and back set of parts instead of both sides and the face. Failed experiment I guess.

Hasbro has given us another update on the making of Victory Saber. this one shows the tooling involved for some of the red plastic. This is the mold that will be used over and over again to give the plastic it's shape and the image gives us an idea of how massive it is.

“As you can see from these images, the tools for Victory Saber are being prepped. Tools are giant slabs of steel, sculpted with laser etching to cut piece cavities in the molds. At this point in the process, tools will be polished and cleaned in order to make sure all of the pieces come out of the molds intact.

When we lay out molds, we group by what colors each piece is needed to be molded in. The mold pictured is for one of the red molds, and all of these red pieces will be part of the V-Star Jet, Autobot Saber, and the merged Star Saber figure.”

I wasn't expecting a new update so soon, but now I'm kinda hopeful that we could see the test shot in like 2 months or so
