Official Images - Transformers Robots in Disguise Legion Patrol Mode Strongarm, Ultra Magnus

why am I such a sucker for a Magnus repaint?
Wish they would have packed him in that TRU 2 pack with Megatronus. Now I gotta have two white Prime's.

Uh sorry it didn't post the pic i will redo it

Next time, just EDIT your 1st post.

I wanna post to pick but it keeps saying its too big

For Va'al: Drift is frikkin sweet and very solid. Same with Jazz, but Drift looks better. Prime and Bee are good and so is Strongarm. Sideswipe is great to look at (easily the best looking) but not good to mess with. Legion Fixit is a real win. He is so fun and adorable and all around great! Steeljaw is different but cool in his own way.

Which one I would own solely? IDW styled Drift or legion Fixit. Those are the 2 options and it would be a fight to decide

I would totally buy it if was "motormaster" with proper headsculpt, not just repaint.

Yeah, its so rare we get a mold where the trailer is part of the robot these days that Motormaster would be a perfect Oppotrunity.

So, VA'AL:

Strongarm has big back kibble, but any other takes on her?
Jazz? Drift? Steeljaw?

The best is Drift for the simplicity but beauty of the transformation. It is perfect. The way the chest forms is so smart in a super simple way. And that alt mode is insane! He will be on a few best of lists.

Scott was right actually, the really cool thing with these is the alt modes, they are top notch. It's a very underrated line, with new characters and new designs.

The rest after Drift are all itneresting but deeply flawed. Here are quick reviews:

Steeljaw: amazing concept with the most complex transformation for a deluxe out right now on the shelves and great alt mode. The flaw is in his very thin arms and overly cumbersome kibble.

Sideswipe: he is probably the RID toy I like transforming best. This is on a new level of clever with really smart double purpose kibble that flips around depending on the mode. It also has a nice lean look in comparison to the rest. But of course, you cant play with it well since the chest wont peg together and posing him becomes a really sore point.

Strong Arm: her backpack is the leat of your worries and I actually think thats her best attribute. Simply because it isnt a backpack. It's a smart use of a shellformer by turning the shell into it's back and giving it wings (like movie bumblebee). My problem with it is its oversimplification and the really ugly forearms.

Bumblebee: I am not as big a fan of this guy as Kanrabat is but I will say that it is a nice fun toy. Nice in both modes but the robot mode suffers from a lack of posability due to the cumbersome enormous shoulders.

And the Warrior Class Optimus toy is garbage for the most part. It has everything I hate in transformers: fake kibble (for the chest), overly simple transformation devoid of wit, and really obvious robot parts in alt mode:

Would you like some torso to go with your legs

For that, all you have to do it just turn him around :

Er-mah-gerd; would you like some level of complexity with your lump of over-priced unpainted plastic!?!

(Seriously though, talk about uninspired on a fundamental level )

Because that's totally how anyone displays Transformers

I can give you that for the under shot. But for the view from the top, I see it all the time. I transform and pose my toys regularly, and enjoy just fiddling with them and those legs making the back of his trailer are super apparent and dont look good. I feel the Legion class does a better job with the trailer area.

I never noticed until I played with it more yesterday (after answering Va'al), but Drift has wrist articulation. I cannot recall the last time I saw that in a deluxe figure. And it isnt part of the transformation or anything, it really did not need to be there but it is, and thats pretty cool.
