Bobby Skullface L So just got my copy in the mail.... There are tons of stress marks where small panels connect to the legs. Almost scared to transform him. The fingers are very floppy and can't really hold a pose. Plastic feel a bit too brittle for a $180 figure. They did fix the rachet in the upper knee but now it's so tight the knee unplugs from the shin when ever you use the joint. They did fix the toe articulation and included a non light piping eye piece (!).. I can see why people are wary to purchase Xtransbot pieces. Def not up to par compared to Fans toy or MMC.

Did you happen to notice if he has any lights, a switch or a battery cover anywhere? Seems like the light piping was not present in the earlier test samples or the initial renders. All of the etailer listings still have this in the description: 3x LED light-up components including the eyes (batteries are not included). Seems like for 180ish dollars, he should have lit eyes and somewhere in the cockpit (because how cool would that be to have galvatrons silhouette backlit with those red windows...!)

I recently bought X-Transbots Andras and had the same final fit issues in alt mode as this guy...you are so right, it is annoying because you love the two modes, but hate the transformation...even more annoying is the fact that seams pop out while you are looking at the alt mode! It never really feels completely transformed. This is in stark contrast to my recent purchase of Unique Toys Sworder, which is solid and firm in the transformation. My favorite purchase of last year was actually Unique Toys Provider, once again with a solid feel and transformation that you would expect from a $120 to a $170 toy. I love Eligos, but hate the transformation. Come on, X-Transbots! We want to love you! I do love the way the seat in the cockpit is spring loaded and pops up when you lift the seat back.

Would be nice to see them do Prime and more Autobots too. The bad thing is that they've managed to put me off on the quality aspect. The tolerances are all over the place and some of the engineering and materials seem fragile at times. Im just to afraid to mess with their expensive product. But they're doing good though! They just need to fix some general issues with their products.

The knees are technically a double hinge. That lower joint I assume is a by product of transformation. The actual knee is a strong ratchet. So strong, in fact, that it pulls the slot off the tab intended to hold that lower joint giving the impression that it is the joint proper. Once you get the actual knee going you get your 90.

Great review as always man. Few questions: 1) Which target masters from xtb have you reviewed? Only one is the scourge one? Do you mean the blue special version of that? 2) Is there any reason the face and parts are light pink plastic? IIRC the G1 cartoon had more of a purple to it? The face I definitely agree looks terribly lifeless, perhaps the colour and somehow the plastic doesn't look "solid"?
@MythsAndHeroes8 жыл бұрын
Jaraxel 1) the scourge, cyclonus and they had a little exclusive one at tfcon I believe. He may have been blue. Can't remember. 2. Color is in the ballpark depending on what animation cell your looking at. I think a finished paint application would really bring it to life. 2.5 materials are fine.

You really botched the transformation. There's a piece at 17:21 that needs to be flipped around that forms part of the cockpit. Without flipping that, the head doesn't have enough clearance. That's why you couldn't get everything tabbed right around the head. The legs onward.. I just have no idea what you were doing, and neither did you. You made it really hard on yourself. I'd recommend watching benscollectibles video. Maybe READ the instructions instead of bragging about how you aren't going to, then give it another try. Don't get mad at them for a "bad transformation" if you refuse to learn the order of operations of it. Transformation was WAY smoother for him and he got a much better alt mode out of it. Sorry if that came off harsh, but man... it was tough to watch.

I watched Ben's video. He has a lot of quick cuts during the transformation to jet mode, so we don't really see a full continuous shot as he works through it. He even stated at the end of his transformation that the legs didn't "quite peg in as firmly as I'd like" so I don't see how you can suggest his efforts were "way smoother". Bobby clearly wasn't even the first or only reviewer to note a discrepancy between the instructions vs the actual transformation.

I just want you to look at your photos again and think about how great those hands look in them. Yes. They can be a hassle. (Not really a problem when the forearms open and the hands flip in lol.) appreciate the shout out without a "he's that dick that gives me shit about hands" lol. I for one cannot live without transformers devil horns metal signs. :) keep being honest and transparent. Ignore the haters. They jus' jelly! Happy thanksgiving bro!

Qc4073 not at all. I'm just not going to review unfinished things as if they're finished. Which to me seems fair. So I'll still point out my issues but I'm not going trash something for what may be no reason at all. Final release? Game on.

Oh , and another thing...I get a litlle annoyed by these commenters who get after you for not using instructions. Come on, we're guys! We don't look at instructions, that's why we go to You Tube and play the videos to transform these figures. My instructions for Eligos are literally untouched! I will defend Bobby Skullface tooth and nail because his opinions are spot on. These other reviewers are WAYYYY too positive in their reviews and that doesn't help a potential buyer make a decision.

may hanks but its all good, just like x-transbots if I create something and put it out to the pubic to receive, I have to be prepared for any potential negative feedback :)

dear Uncle skullface; just an FYI, I discovered another KZbin channel d-bag (named "Transformers movie") who is kyping and posting your vids, and all the language used makes it sound like he's your Boi or something (for instance, he has your Andras video and the lead-in says "in this video, WE take a look at...." I'm like, whodafuq is the "we" in a skullface video. also, if you want him disappeared...I know some peeps who know some peeps, just sayin'.

Good review, Bobby, for me while it looks good, it's just too boxy and inorganic and lacks the sleek and organic look that most of the season 3 characters tend to have, just look at those feet as well...MEH, it looks like Allen (Unique toys Springer) and the fact that it's from XTB makes it an instant pass. Good review, and like Kelly Phillipsen says don't cave in to the idiots who just can't handle the truth and want to hear amazing reviews and do another apologetic review I came hear for the truth, Bobby!

I'm sorry dude but these incessant pre-production reviews that's all the trend are useless. If these pass-around copies have tolerance issues but prod. copies may not have, why do I need to know about it?
@MythsAndHeroes8 жыл бұрын
DataSlam I hear you which is why I suggest to them in the vid that they make a few changes. Outside of that there's things that won't be changed. Like lack of paint or engineering etc, so there's benefit for consumer in that regard.
