Classics 2.0/Universe Comments thread

[STL]

While I'm still digging Cyclonus's robot mode, the legs in alt mode (back center of the jet) really disappoint. They don't really seem to know where they should sit.

Hound, on the other hand, is just pure love in virtually every way, shape and form. I think he's the best Classics 2.0 figure to date.

+1 here.

I think Cyclonus' jet mode is very cool from a futuristic feel but its lack of solidity really hurts its play value. When u pick it up, ther'es just that sense of fragility.

Hound is toy of the year for me. The only thing I would've wanted was a handgun but that's a very small price to pay for a cassette so I'm not gonna complain

I with you guys about his (Cyclonus) legs & alt mode, really great figure though.

I have written my 1st figure review on him

Cyclonus robot mode is as good as a non transforming Action Figure that a transforming figure has been from my experience. The proportions are perfect and no alt mode kibble. Articulation is almost perfect bar the restrictions on the arms.

The legs in alt mode really ruined the overall rating for the figure, not to mention all the gaps and general instability. They just float there.

Excellent robot mode though.

While I'm not a huge fan of Cyclonus Jetmode, what's the issue with the legs? Is it just the way the legs are placed or is there some issue with them not locking in on some toys?

When I saw the instructions I was worried that it might be Movie Deluxe Brawl all over again, but no he seems pretty solid to me.

An addition of 2 fists can make Universe Superion a whole lot better~

That's just amazing! EXACTLY what I've been wanting for all three Energon combiners!

hmmm, very nice. agree....

Any idea where those fists come from? That is amazing, Kyle!

The gent said he used fists from old GaoGaiGar model kits, but similar fists from other model kits will do. If he finds better options I'll let you guys know.

Personally I have a few issues:

1. The gap in the back visible here:



2. This is the one that I tried to describe that annoys me the most. The two halves of the legs fold up to form the back of the jet. The top leg-half is what clips in with the wing. The bottom leg half has nothing to clip it in or identify its proper positioning:



3. Because of #2, the feet don't come together to form thrusters like Classics Jetfire per se, and the back view is a bit of a mess too:
