Nice finish with the beheading

[Hursticon]

simply amazing Hursticon. Cant wait for mine. There is a package in the door way that I havent opened up yet, I wonder if that what it is! Great pics!!

Cheers VGM & it's great to see you're still dropping and commenting on the boards; Was the package your Chaos Paladin? - Cheers for the compliments too.

Can't wait to get mine. Bbts has it preorder still. Just waiting on a few things from them too lol

You'll dig him man, the best 'Fallen' figure produced to date, IMO.

That's a good-looking and cleverly-designed toy.

It is indeed, I think a lot of people were taken back by the fact that it was incorporating the Power Core Combiner play-pattern, but I think it works to great effect as a differing interpretation & implementation of that design.

Wow Hursty! Thanks for giving us your views on Paladin/Chaos. Great pics too, I particularly like the 'decapitation' one with Code.

Hehe, yes I took a little bit of sick/dark joy in taking those shots as it just seemed so 'in-character' for the figure to do that sort of thing; thanks for your compliments too mate, I hope you're getting him too as I'd love to hear your thoughts on this guy - I think I might of sounded a little harsh but I actually really do adore him.

How does he work? Is he two tanks that make one robots or two robots?

You've brought up a glaring omission in my review dude & I thank you for it, hopefully these photos will help to clear some things up:




'Chaos' bot's Tank mode Turret:






'Paladin' Tank's Rear/Forearm tracks:
(*Note: Underside Hatch & Fold-out Chaingun)




'Paladin' Tank's Front/Lower-Leg tracks:
(*Note: Underside Hatch & additional PCC Port Chainguns)




Part breakdown of 'Paladin' Tank:
(*Note: Additional PCC Port Chainguns stored in aforementioned tracks)




Groupshot of main components - 'Chaos' (Bot mode), 'Paladin' Tank & 'Chaos' (Tank mode) Turret:
(*Note: 'Chaos' Pauldron Armour folded up to allow for greater shoulder range/articulation)




'Chaos' Tank mode Turret plugged onto his Bot mode's back:
(*Note: I personally don't like having this here as this is the major cause of his balance issue I mentioned previously)




Mid-Transformation/Combination shots between 'Chaos' & 'Chaos Paladin' Bot modes:
(*Note: I hope what I tried to show comes through alright )




...also, just as a matter of interest, I found that plugging the additional PCC Port Chainguns into the back of Chaos Paladin's feet greatly improves his balance in this mode:

Nice finish with the beheading

Hehe, cheers dude.

So he is some big armored up little guy?

Also how is the paint job in person? One of the things that I found a bit disappointing (from a personal perspective) is that the orange lacks that awesome washed with yellow 'furnace' look that the Titanium toy has.

I'm not terribly sure of what narrative MakeToys have decided to give him sadly, I can't read Chinese , but physically he's just like a PCC except he actually works and looks cool - Hopefully someone is able to do a translation of the instruction manual , it might actually shed some light on who/what he is.

His paint is pretty flat to be honest; the Orange stands out well however against the contrasting dark shades of Purple, Black & Gun-metal Grey - To be honest though, I was not expecting much more out of its paintjob, that furnace effect you suggest would look great though.

...

To me though, he's The Fallen; taking on this unassuming appearance of a squat little bot that nobody considers much of at all, if/when they actually see him, as he prefers to loiter in the shadows & other dark places...

When bots do catch a glimpse of him, he always seems to be in the presence of this semi-autonomous Tank whom he incoherently whispers & murmurs to constantly...

Those who mistakenly snicker or simply think ill of him find that is often the last thing they do, before they're suddenly aware to a searing heat behind them - only to turn around & be greeted by The Fallen's true form!...
(Yeah... there's probably a reason I don't do creative writing )

No, that was kind of cool

Hehe, cheers man - Just a little fanfic I guess until we know what this figure's whole deal is.

Fantastic review Hursti, just the level of detail I was looking for

[Bidoofdude]

Pretty cool looking.
