The silver pieces on the feet are definitely for alt mode. The idea is that you can put an Autobot insignia over the silver pieces for alt mode, then flip them to hide the broken-up insignia on the feed in robot mode.
That's funny because when I got home from work today my late night impulse buy Toy World Clear Cosmos was sitting on my door step. Love how pudgy Toy World is, looks more like a Mega Man character...but hooray buyer's remorse!
Thanks for the look Ben! The only thing that keeps me from getting this is really the color. The promotional images have him a lighter shade of green. I'll probably wait for the production figure to come out and pictures to show up to decide cause as he is in your video, i just think he's too dark. X-Transbots usually worries me with their quality but i just like the look too much so even if the quality isn't good, i'll just not touch him and he'll look great in my MP display.
Quality is up there with some of the best they have done. But as for colour, I would say it was a lotus green or bottle green so it is quite dark for sure.
Nice but expensive :-). All these models coming from everywhere. I started with Takara but soon realised that my taste for better models is not only Takara. Really looking for that g1 cartoon look.
Wow Ben, thank you for a great review. He looks fantastic! So nice to see one of the 2nd string characters finally get an accurate sculpt. His proportions look soo much better then the other offering.
Hi, I have a question about the thin plastic yellow hinge used for the arm transformation at 7:03 of this vid. Would you say that this hinge piece could potentially fail? It looks very fragile and not well thought out, and is why I'm hesitant to preorder. Oh, and great review by the way!
I do have the toyworld and like it very much... I think this is really good. only thing that is off for me is the head sculpt. maybe to plain. I understand its a sample. but the face on the toyworld is alot easier on the eyes.. also he is a really big mini bot. I think I like the toyworld scale slightly better. I still might get him.. I would have to see the final product. am I the only one that finds it odd that both 3rd party offerings don't come with an actual gun?
Ben, do you know if they are going to be releasing two versions of Klaatu? The initial pics I saw of this figure had him being a lighter green. They did the same with their Boost figure.
This was the one I was waiting for... But, after seeing a couple videos now, I'm just not all that impressed. I actually like the larger size, but I definitely prefer the aesthetics of the Toyworld release. Side by side I think the version from Toyworld just looks better. Maybe it's the colors they chose or the lack of detailing, but this figure just doesn't fit the high end Masterpiece aesthetic for me, at least for my collection.
I think I'll find him a couple of toy cows at a carboot sale then attach them to each other with chains then he can have the ultimate Transformers weapon the Nunchukmoo

Hey Ben. The grey spot on the feet is only in Ault mode. Bot mode is all green feet.
2:46 That was the most perfect *pop* I have ever heard in my life.

I think this is my favorite XTB release to date. Feels solid with some great paint.
Xtransbot have been knocking it out of the park recently! They are quickly becoming one of my preferred 3rd party companies.
THANK YOU for this clip. without it, i will not be able to transform it. what a great figure from XTB. tons of die cast !!!!! highly recommend it.....
I love the darker color and the transformation is cleaner than I've ever seen from xtransbots. Definitely the one I am going to get.

I really like the vehicle mode on this version, but I prefer Toyworld's take on the robot mode.
The green seems quite dark, do you think that will change at all?
He's a little huge for MP but very nice.
This is a great figure. Die cast is excellent and proportioned correctly. Only mini bot I can think of worth $70 +, and I’m a cheapskate. 👍👍

I might want two. Hahaha. And my son can have my ToyWorld Cosmos. Feels fitting.

Looks awesome had mine on preorder for a while now
He looks great brother!!! Thanks for the awesome review...

Jerramie Caves I've tugged away at it and both my sons have messed about with him and so far no stress marks on any hinges at all
Benscollectables Fantastic! I've a son of my own too, but he's got his own transformers. That's good news for the test shot. Many thanks.
Pretty sure I can hear a pigeon right outside your studio/shed.
Great review!!! Thanks for the info!!! Klaatu is coming to the display!!! Best Regards From Colombia Ben!!!!
That Is A Really Nice Version Of Cosmos! & Really Awesome Review,Sir!
BIGG STAN HARRIS thank you 😊

Good toy but I like the color and squat look of my Toyworld version.
*Hope you like COSMOS*
He's awesome! Nice review again Ben
Do you keep the samples or send them back after the review?
some i keep , some i forward to the next guy
Man, xtransbots never skimp with the accessories. Arent they the ones who give you an actual mermaid figure with there seaspray?
I believe that might be Ace Collectibles? Not sure.
Mechanic ahh, thanks!

Ryan Brooks I'm not sure buddy , not heard anything

wondering why the fact it won't play. checked the vid quality no 180 :(((((
Yes there is
Can you just press the centre panel to pop the head? It looks like the interior side is built up to press the button maybe?
What springer is that in the size comparison?
AidanLyle that's the unique toy version of Springer. I love it I have it as well.
His name is Allen
I think I'll find him a couple of toy cows at a carboot sale then attach them to each other with chains then he can have the ultimate Transformers weapon the Nunchukmoo
90 Lancaster if you prefer order from the chosen prime,they are including 2 mini cows
Still, I see it as a U.F.L
*Unidentified*
*Flying*
*Landmine*
No cow?
No cow??
No 🐄???
... needz cow ...
i dont see any reason to get rid of my toyworld version. there are a couple things i like better on this one but they arent enough to buy it
Jason W glad I didn't buy the toy world one even though I like it. I'm definitely getting this xtransbot version
He is very ROBUST.
I like the look of him but for me he is a bit big for a minibot
Nosrep Suomynona according to the sunbow scale it's actually spot on
Benscollectables oh, but I still prefer spaceracer. Not that anything is wrong with this figure I just like the size of spaceracer more. Cheers!
Green looks too dark for my tastes, solid overall but will pass.

You might want to de-ess you audio, there was a lot of hissing throughout the video
I cant hear any hisses at all my end , can you pin point a location to help me bud
No hisses. Very clean audio here.
YoureNotFunny no hisses on my end as well

klaatu barada nikto
Squirrel Killa I was also saying that! He totally missed the SW Klaatu! Lol!!!
And this is what I scrolled the comments section to find lol.
My least favorite part, besides it being built by suX-transbots, are the feet. Way too big clown boots.
It’s actually worst. The joints are looser
