Personally I skipped it as it is not cartoon accurate and wait for Fanstoys one or even the better version, X-transbot Abbaddon..

yes i got him, minus the wide A stance due to the hip ratchets I thoroughly enjoyed him. Transformation is a little fiddly but not frustrating and he has a mean face/head sculpt. His presence on the shelf is immense.

I am a huge fanstoys fan but from the images of fanstoys not galvatron he looks a big off to me somehow, maybe because his a big too blocky for my liking. as for x-transbot we all know about their QC issues...

You did not find out Tyrant's finger tips cannot be made straight?

For the cartoon-accurate bit, please see the following cartoon figure:

The cannon tracks should be attached to the other side of Galvatron's arms in robot mode while DX9 Tyrant put the cannon tracks to his back.. It does not match with the G1 cartoon..

I pose him with fists closed so it doesn't really bother me. But I guess if u do pose his hands in any straight finger position it can bother you.

As regards to the tracks being behind his arms, I find them behind the back a lot better looking aesthetically, it'll be more sleek looking than having big treads behind his arms. But again if you want cartoon accuracy it looses out again.

Can't make everyone happy....

I adore him. Got him around XMas and love the way they implemented such a design n pulled off a perfect sculpt
