Toy Review - HFTD Terradive

[GoktimusPrime]

the red eyes on your Terradive light pipes?!? Cos I'm sure mine don't... could we have a variant here?

Could you please confirm by posting a photo of your Terradive showing off the light piping effect? Thanks

What? This toy is out locally? where?

[Stompy]

Gok: It actually has light-piped eyes (look at the back of the head and point it over a strong light source), but they painted over the clear plastic with red. Behind a strong lightsource it kinda glows, but otherwise it is very weak. Perhaps for a repaint.

Lord Zed: It's been spotted and bought at Target's (in VIC) and I think Toyworlds (in QLD?).

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, I noticed the clear plastic on the back of the head, but when I tried out the light piping the eyes on mine didn't glow at all. Not even any "weeping" around the edges like with Animated Snarl or the Heroes of Cybertron PVCs. So I guess Hasbro must've painted it in pretty well to minimise any light weeping. I don't mind this though... I hate light weeping. Either have the eyes fully light pipe or not at all.

Lord Zed: see here.

My only dissapointment with this figure is it's bio. I was thinking," Trident, yellow/orange and black plane? Terradive? Is he supposed to be a submersible plane? Neat! Oh. He just dive bombs his opponents..."

Its the best deluxe (non animated) in years.

Great colour scheme, very poseable, intuitive transformation, plenty of character in the head sculpt and a fantastic weapon.

Bring on the repaints.

One of the nicest deluxe jets ever. The jet mode is amazingly sleek - there is next to no kibble. I'm not the greatest fan of the colours but I'm sure I'll live. I really can't go on about how amazing I find the vehicle mode.

Transformation is amazingly sleek - if you can imagine a slightly more involved technique to that of Sidearm Sideswipe (in that basically you unfold everything in the first half and then repeg it back together after that) then you're on the money.

Bot mode is a slightly less awesome but still great. It looks nice and holds together well. The hips pop off easily, and the proportions just seem a bit off to me (the legs seem a bit close together). It's fantastically poseable though.

Definitely worth getting, if for the strengths of the jet mode. I'd pay more than over the odds for a slightly more drab military looking repaint (and different head).

This and Tomahawk represent some of the best deluxes we've had in years.

I like Terradive very much, transforming him for me was fun and unpredictable and I consider him (based on his colours) to be the Sunstorm of my TF jet collection!

Ooh, that's a great way of justifying the purchase. I have to get a Sunstorm to join my flight squadron now too. Is he appearing in more stores these days? Hopefully can find one on the weekend...
