    And here we go! Easily fixed the pushed in part, and in doing so discovered some articulation i'd missed!

    This behemoth has so much going on i can't get to individual vehicles or teams tonight! Plus he's so big he played havoc with my lighting and haste!

    Some comparison pics
    Perfect scale and look!



    Some poses & details
    SWEET JESUS! This guy looks so awesome!
    I did seem to have either a breakage in box or with little effort from me, honestly not sure - on one of my hand pieces. The one that splits the fingers off to allow you to insert blades or spears, the the fingers are connected by a small piece of plastic but mine is snapped at the middle. They still hold back into the palm mind you, and i think only a dab of glue would fix it. The hands are very tight to remove the fingers before you can put a weapon in, so i'd just advise caution prying them out!
    The swords have a rectangular shaped handle that fits into rectangular shaped holes, which unfortunately makes the dual-handed sword wield pose barely attainable. If the handle and hole was just a cylinder it would have been able to do it easily, but i guess they were going for toy accuracy perhaps.



    Arm & shoulder articulation
    Pretty much just his design getting in the way of almost flawless arm articulation! And even then the chest jet accomodates it by folding the wings in. The magnet connection is a bit of pain when posing the arms though, best to just place the jet on after you're finished.



    Waist articulation
    Full 360 rotation and a couple of ratchet notches forward too!



    Head articulation
    It's on a ball joint on the attachment piece - the attachment piece can but placed forward or back to aid in tilting the head in a desired direction.



    Leg and feet articulation
    No strings baby!! Stunning weight distribution and posing potential!



    Release button and not release button locations!
    Yes, that's a piece of blu-tack holding the groin piece door, which was there the first time i opened it. How it got there, I will never know, but why it's there is unfortunately obvious. Not a big deal really. The release button in there, and the other one in the torso aren't really needed so the door can just stay shut the whole time.
    The lower waist piece has the protrusion that i accidentally pressed inside the toy, but as you can see it was an easy fix. Blessing in disguise in fact, taking that piece apart led to the discovery of the waist articulation!



    The Weigh In!
    And MP Vehicle Voltron weighs in at.... 1.15kg / 2.53lb!
    For comparison's sake:
    • MP-1 Optimus Prime & Lionbot (Matchbox KO): 1.1kg / 2.42lb
    • 2010 Predaking: 1.25kg / 2.75lb

    Thanks for the pics man ; He really looks amazing and his poseability is incredible considering his composition & weight , he also scales really well with the Masterpiece & Matchbox Lion-Force Voltrons - you're right!

    Holy crap.

    just got mine in today and apparently part of 3rd batch, no problems except some loose pins on the blue submarine thing, which I managed to fix myself. Magnificent is a word that springs to mind.

    Knew I shouldn't have opened it up at work as I have whiled away almost two hours just messing about.

    here are some results. Swords aren't metal, little bit sad, but then not really as they'd be too heavy.


    Rocket punch!

    Bravo!



    You can almost make him facepalm


    I was pretty impressed at the level of detail on this bad boy. even to the extent of putting in this rather superfluous red bit on the chest piece that slides up for vehicle mode whic I am pretty certain nobody ever bothers with
