What superises me is that for some reason this isn't the only thundertron toy we're getting; we're getting another one for the Legacy Unite Starseeker subline (I think thats what its called and it is unite's version of the velocitron wave) and before anyone says that they are just going to repackage and repaint this mold that might not be true. if i'm not mistaken this is voyager class; the one listed for the Starseeker subline is a leader class (If i remember Correctly); so they are either 1. just going to repackage and repaint this mold but throw in a bunch of other accessories, 2. Upscale the mold and make a few ajustments and maybe add another accessory or two, or 3. (Which for some reason look to be what is most likely happening) they are going to create an entirely new Mold for the leader Thundertron

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yes, it is very odd that they are doing more than one of these so soon. It's like one Strange Fanboy got his way to the top of the pile.

And the lion mode looks like ass, so does the transformation. If they had to do this, I really wish it would have the decency to be above a 3/10.

After getting ahold of the figure yesterday. I can confidently say… I have no idea why PE has such an issue with this thing. My only real complains are that most of the transformation is just rotating limb segments and the hind legs could’ve been better engineered. Also, if you want to pose him with the peg leg have the weight of the figure lean on his regular foot more.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean isn't it a problem if using the main gimmick of the toy makes it so you have to stand it one particular way on a flat surface. Like my light box is always a little titled back because of the way the clasps for the bottom sit on the table, but it's barely anything, and it made it nearly impossible to get the peg leg standing.

I'd disagree. If they don't vocalize with Traditional Speakers, mouths make sense, if they have the ability to smell, then a nose is not a bad way to do it, if they need depth perception then binocular vision is a good way to go about it. They how ever do not need a warm lower face.

None of these make any sense for an alien species of robots. 5) why do they have two arms and two legs and are structured like apes? That structure seems arbitrary and mostly just there to make them more relatable to humans watching this shows/movies/comics/games/ect. I have to make this clear: I like all of this stuff. I want these robots to basically be giant humans lol. But you can't say they are realistic in any way. And that's okay. They are better when they aren't Also, weren't you defending mass shifting? What the fuck is that if not straight up magic?? You don't have to like beards on transformers. But they are not any less logical than massshifting giant metal humans who can turn into space vehicles which conveniently size to real world cars, planes, boats, and so on, who feel all our emotions (including lust), and are male, female, and non-binary.

[@Skullkruncher5232]

Also which is best the armada megs or dragon

[@Skullkruncher5232]

Happy new year if it is in America

[@PerspectiveEnd]

He's a Lot bigger than Dragon Megatron. I think I prefer Dragon Megatron, though I think that Armada Optimus is probably the better toy, just based on Gimmicks and Durability. You could probably throw a brick at him, and he'd be fine. I think Dragon Megatron is better than the Armada one. And Happy New Year!

[@15oClock]

I dunno what will happen if someone figures out how to balance Thundertron on his peg leg alone, but it might break one of the seven seals the end of the world.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I actually got him standing in that sequence, not only that, but I was confused as to how, because if he had two normal feet, it still shouldn't have worked.

[@GinraiMinor]

1. Mouth Plates was the OG robot beard before we got robot beards(also Optimus def has a blue caveman strap under his mouthplate...BET

[@PerspectiveEnd]

And they are the superior alternative to beards as well.

[@GinraiMinor]

@@PerspectiveEnd I don't mind the Robot beards myself but I def see how it throws off the "intended" aesthetic!!

[@nikolausnikolausnikolaus]

What's your favourite design from Gundam by the way?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Probably the Heavy Arms. Or the Barbatos.

[@nikolausnikolausnikolaus]

@@PerspectiveEnd Sick. I haven't watched Gundam Wing yet but I do think the Heavy Arms looks really cool. The Barbatos is one of my favourite designs as well and the MG is a great kit. My personal favourite design is specifically the MG version of the Duel Gundam even though I don't like Gundam Seed all that much.

[@roadhauler5968]

Having the original and the new one, I can safely say the new one improves two aspects over the original: 1. The Legacy version features improved articulation (wrist swivels, waist rotation and deep knee and elbow bends) and 2. An actual Sword and not the flimsy “Mech Tech” sword thingy. My biggest complaints are the colors (I prefer the lighter shades of blue as well as the Sea-foam Green Highlights) and the Head Sculpt. I know the Legacy Version shipped out around Christmas but he does not rock the “Santa Head” very well compared to the Original Head. One major issue I found is that the plastic around his feet can be quite brittle as I had broke my First copies foot while putting his foot back on. My second copy has looser QC (Does not pass the Kup test lol).

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah a lot of people have told me how bad the original Mech Tech one was. Really, I never would have guessed the plastic was brittle, sorry to hear about yours.

[@roadhauler5968]

It’s okay, I applied too much pressure when I tried to put his foot back on. The plastic quality of the Original vs the Modern is actually quite different

[@cyranantone8430]

Remember? You still got my name wrong😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thanks for the shout out tho man! I expect a correction very soon mister. It’s KAIRIN, not Keerin As a prime fan, this figure make me deliciously happy

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Of course And you wrote it in the email as Kyrin, I almost wound up saying QuIrin, but then I was like "Oh this must be how that name Keerin I've heard before is spelled." I'm glad you like the figure more than me.

[@brendenperry4856]

In case no one else pointed it out yet you put legacy evolution on the thumbnail instead of legacy United

[@PerspectiveEnd]

You might be the first yes. I didn't stop to think about how thats no longer the normal logo.

[@AFCManUk]

I like Transformers, and I like Zoids (Well, Chaotic Century and Guardian Force). I don't particularly want my Transformers to look like Zoids, though.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I tend to agree.

[@randomguywholikesstuff6536]

I'll probably get him when he's on sale. Also did you get him from Amazon?

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah I picked him up through Amazon. Why?

[@randomguywholikesstuff6536]

@@PerspectiveEnd curious

[@louking9045]

Actually made my own Transformers Prime sequel series and the villain is a interesting looking her name is overcharge she's got a single but still has a mouth with her being a lumbering leader class and also being triple changer with her third mode being the famous urban legend the Wendigo

[@PerspectiveEnd]

She has a Single What? I think you left that part out?

[@louking9045]

@@PerspectiveEnd sorry I was tired when I made that comment she has a single optic or eye like Shockwave but she still has a mouth and instead of regular or dark Energon she uses omnvos Energon a little type of Energon I cooked up for the story

[@UchihaSAS]

It's pretty funny that they picked him out of all the TFP characters. Plus, he's pretty much the same appearance as the original. A good figure in my opinion, but it's a bit hollow

[@PerspectiveEnd]

It's the transformation and altmode that really get me with this thing.

[@taylorblack741]

This toy is awesome just for the Zoids canon crossover alone 😭 I want more Transformers and Zoids characters!!!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That is the best argument as to why someone likes this that I've seen.

[@raymondreyes5850]

Thundertron...more like thundercrap😂

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thunderous Fart.

[@zenerstorm95]

The only thing about this figure that I like is the lore behind the Lion mode. If I remember right, one of the designers said that he crash landed on the planets where the Zoids are and he scanned one for his alt mode. Like that is genuinely cool. Other than that? Nah. This thing does NOT represent the Prime design and aesthetic WHATSOEVER, and I'm baffled as to how they downgraded from the original toy THIS HARD.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Man I can't believe I called a Zoids connection without knowing it.

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

I’ll probably still get this.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I just hope you like it.

[@Zo1dus]

I think you missed the shout-out request i put in this month

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Where did you send it? I didn't see it? I'm sorry man.

[@Zo1dus]

​@@PerspectiveEndi sent it to the correct email on the 20th

[@maliciousyew4433]

Something that helps the lion mode look slightly better is if you turn the thighs around and you can bring the legs closer to the body. It’s not much but it helps😅

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Wouldn't that make the knees bend the wrong way?

[@maliciousyew4433]

No sir just use the thigh swivel and the swivel above the knee to turn just the thigh around so the hollow part is facing the inside of the lion mode

[@eduardojosuepinedagonzalez6065]

Did you know that the sword """""combines"""" with the foot to make a dummer sword

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I did not. That sounds stuipd.

[@Scorch501st]

goatta say, this figure works better as a RED figure than a transformer

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's what I'm saying.

[@spittor47]

You did mis-transform the liger back legs as per the instructions. The thighs rotate around allowing the legs to collapse farther in.

[@spittor47]

Knowing this, I'd be curious if your opinions of the alt mode change considering some of the criticisms are due to you mis-transforming it.

[@spittor47]
