A relative just got it, and I saw how much they cut due to "being too costly", the 2nd engine weapon (hence the "tailbone" he's got), the swiveling hand for the Headmasters style of Targetmasters (that's what the handle on the back WAS for), hollowing out the Targetmaster's whole body, etc. (all these were on the prototype).

[@samjones7834]

Is it just me or is this figure like a reverse of Skullgrin? Whereas Skullgrin had a good-looking robot mode and a crappy vehicle mode, Pointblank has a bad-looking robot mode but a fairly cool looking vehicle mode. Like… it’s just kinda weird because not only do they both have this issue of one mode being bad and the other good, but they’re also both deluxe figures, they’re both G1 characters and they’re also from the same era of G1 too, that being the 1987-89 post Movie era where we just got lots of different concepts and ideas like the Headmasters, Targtmasters, Powermasters, Pretenders etc. Just something I’ve noticed about this pair.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

You aren't wrong no, the altmode is definitely what makes this interesting, and manages to be an 80s Post Apocalypse thing worth messing with.

[@meganura1559]

I was thinking of getting this figure, I looked at it for a while and thought "yeah this looks good," and then I saw that he doesn't have bicep swivels. I don't think a single deluxe class figure over the last 5 years has not had bicep swivels. The reason why that one bit hangs down from his crotch and the reason why they didn't give him wrist articulation was cause of budgeting done to make sure he got his target master, he had the little crotch part come off and turn into an exhaust blaster but when they were told they couldn't do that so they decided to just make it part of the crotch mold and not change it. Legacy's recently weird qc is likely a result of factory changes or them putting more money into developing the figures for rise of the beasts (judging by the fact two seperate deluxe airrazors were leaked recently).

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Man that doesn't make any sense, this thing isn't using a Deluxe budget already. It's a very simple transformation, with barely any posing.

[@josiaharaki7310]

I'm still getting it (and as we speak, it should STILL be on its way) for my own reasons.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

And I thought you were one of the few who wanted the most accurate physical manifestations of characters, CONSIDERING that the head is accurate to his American/Rebirth [head] design.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

Well, there's the manga and the Japanese G1 collection, if you're looking to find what to enjoy from Japanese Transformers.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

And I guess the only reason the crotch has the odd backside is to mold in an engine detail easter egg (at least I think it looks like an engine), due to the lack of a winged engine piece (though to be fair, I think that the car mode would be better without it with those wings sticking out). I think that homage is more noticeable in vehicle mode.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

But the gun mode CAN plug on to the car via the two tabs that go into the two slots on the knees in vehicle mode.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Well I just hope you like it when you get it in hand. I mean this is only semi accurate to that head, it was an ugly head in the first place and the body isn't very accurate. That's a lot of material to get through to hopefully find something I like. I tried shoving the gun all over that section and couldn't find a way for it to go in.

[@bytisoli]

I’ll go ahead and go back and grab Crosshairs when I can” and then when Pointblank was revealed I was so disappointed I haven’t even gone back and grabbed Crosshairs even knowing he’s not that bad.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, it's really unfortunate. Like it didn't have to be this bad, they just got ULTRA lazy with it. Some people are saying how this would have been better as a Voyager, but it's not even as complex as a normal deluxe. It's just phoned in.

[@salmanedy]

Why does that particular shade of red look like blisters?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't think they do entirely but they do enough.

[@Firebyte27]

Yeah, about the articulation, apparently they were forced to remove both wrist and bicep swivels for the sake of including the target master. And at this point, they should probably just make them core class target masters, because I’d rather pay 12$ for something that requires extra effort instead of a sucky robot mode and an even suckier target master. And the crotch was supposed to be covered by a shield accessory in vehicle mode, but again TORGEHT MASTUR!!!

Looks like the designer focused on the vehicle and transformation and didn’t care about how the robot mode looked in the end at all. The TargetMaster is weirdly a faithful recreation of the vintage one, down to it being a literal brick. The only notable difference is that there’s a bit more paint on it. Not sure why they went with that method, as it kinda makes it stick out like a sore thumb with the BattleMasters.

But the Transformation is only decent, and it has problems none the less.

[@dr.spicememedefender8779]

i actually like the way it looks

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Well I hope you like the figure then.

[@magnuslauglo5356]

Just got him on sale. This is one that will look best in car mode.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

How much was the sale?

[@magnuslauglo5356]

@@PerspectiveEnd not that much, I think about 17 bucks. One thing I'll say that I do like about his robot mode is that he can bend he knees so far unlike a lot of TFs. His arms are incredibly frustrating and I agree with all your criticisms. I quite like his color scheme - very similar to Perceptor. I was unimpressed with Crosshairs and didn't buy him, but hope they do a decent job on Sureshot.

So your Armada Starscream has dogshit QC? Mine has somewhat loose hips and discoloured red parts after having it for a month. Did you try and get another one?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't normally try to get a second copy because of QC but somehow I did wind up with two thought I didn't open the second yet. The QC on the first is awful.

[@Кібертронськийакваріум]

Cool review. I hope my boy Dead end will be better.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Deadend is for sure better.

[@emergencyme4515]

The only thing this guy has going for him is the colors

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Indeed, it's the only thing making him interesting looking.

[@NeilBlumengarten]

I have a soft spot for him. I guess I have a thing for hard luck cases.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I've never heard the phrase "Hard Luck Case" before.

[@mechgouki7999]

Firstly, I get the point that what you were trying to say, is that you dislike post G1 Japan-exclusive Transformers. Now try saying that in one breath or fit into a youtube title. You can't. I don't think you need to apologize for that, I got your point that you hate certain transformers that just so happen to originate from Japan, as opposed to hating everything Japan created. When you think about it though, ALMOST ALL transformers came from Japan, (like diaclone etc), just that most were repurposed for western audiences.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Indeed it's not something easily summed up. People don't seem to get that. Diaclone doesn't count. Sure it's the basis for the toys, but the Show was entirely a Western Invention.

[@mechgouki7999]

@@PerspectiveEnd Btw are you doing review for Armada Starscream?

[@ExaltedArchvile]

The moment I saw this shit revealed I always thought in the back of my mind that this was a Prime Wars figure that they were rereleasing.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It does have that vibe yes.
