He's not bad. The head could do with a bit more bulk (unless it's obscured by the black background). My only complaint would probably be that Mixmaster's cab (what appears to be it) looks kind of weird. I have a feeling that it's false or mistransformed. Scrapper actually looks to be really articulated.
It's no 3rd party level combiner, but all in all seems a decent effort for Hasbro.
I wonder how stable he will be?
Not bad. But not good either. :confused:
If I recall correctly, it should be glued together like Superion and Menasor were at Botcon (was it Botcon?) last year. I remember someone mentioning that, at least for the HK fair.Quote:

Hook's happy. ;)
Before we pre-emptively criticise the engineering behind this toy, keep in mind the following points:
* Each figure transforms from a vehicle to articulated robot
* The gestalt parts are probably self contained, and this is based on a G1 toy which was substantially reliant on accessories to form the gestalt robot (moreso than most other G1 gestalts)
* And as has been mentioned, this is a mass-produced toy that needs to conform to a set budget and price point
Combining is a gimmick, and with any gimmick, there are invariably going to be compromises made to the toy -- the more invasive the gimmick, the greater the compromise. But I find the key to a good and bad gimmicked toy lies in how well the rest of the toy is designed around the core gimmick. It depends on whether the pros outweigh the cons or not (as with any toy, really :)). Time will tell.
I thought the titan class size would put me off. But hell that look fantastic! Really like the kind of cartoon accuracy in the simplicity~
Not to mention that this is a prototype and is glued together.Quote:
