Video review of FansProject WB003 Warbot Assaulter!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U015YY5ln5o

Freaking cool figure, very big, very heavy. Mmmmm Diecast! A very articulated and a very pleasing aesthetic. Very cool jet mode and two similar yet different bot modes each with their own pros and cons, the only weak mode is the carrier mode (which bears a striking resemblance to the SDF-1 from macross), I say weak only in comparison to the other modes.

Some concerns come with plastic tolerances, though they do and will wear in quite well, no need for and alterations.

An overall fantastic figure and definitely recommended! 8/10

Watched your review. Pretty cool!

You are right about the joints/pegs becoming softer and more usable as time passes. By the fifth or so transformation, the carrier pegs were a lot easier to peg in and remain solid.

So is this an original creation or supposed to be an actual character. If it is the former, that is why I don't seem very interested. :p Really cool looking though!

It IS all kinds of awesome.

Good review KalEl, you actually pointed out a couple of things I hadn't realised about the toy.
