Figure needs a lot of work at the knees, super loose, and absolutely does not stand well. I personally don't care how my figure looks as long it stands well, so please talk about more cons, your giving way to much pro's, and no cons..
@@Paik4Life I use Sunbow's animation scale guides to get ballpark ideas of how I want my figures to scale and this figure actually tracks the right size as far as the guides go. He's "supposed" to be somewhere between Ironhide and Prime in height. I put "supposed" in quotes because in reality scaling wasn't always consistent in the toons and scale is pretty much a matter of taste anyway :) I like having the guides handy cause for me they help maintain some continuity in my MP collection between the various toy makers.
Ditka seems to have a lot of issues with stability/weak knee ratchets. Ollie's reissue had paint chips/issues. Boost & Hatch had a pretty bad transformation. Not intuitive at all (I know that's completely subjective). Arkose was really nice, transformation was an issue with the rolbar cage popping off. I've heard great things about Simba, but never had a chance to check it out.
eyescovered those are great points. Yeah the Ditka knee issue stinks. I thought it might just be a sample issue. Ollie I think is okay since they provided extra pieces and is way better than their first release and still looks spot on to me. I don't have issues with the corvette brothers transformation. I didn't think it was bad but yeah not intuitive. But in terms of overall execution I'd have no problem recommending any of them except Ditka (who I think is better than Gewalt overall) but still not enough for me to jump in. Their other recent releases have gotten great support like their Junkions which I love, their andras which has issues but is solid and simba (I don't have any experience but hear good things).

I have this it's a beautiful transformer well designed great plastic do not get the ko version of this this is awesome!
its nice that he is different (taller and different look)then hoist unlike the MP Ironhide and Ratchet that looked identical in many ways
I love this figure and it is definitely on my wish list 😀😊
Trail breaker plz do mirage
I think X-Transbots screwed up the scale this time. :/
TAURON85 agreed :( it's a shame because it's really quite nice overall!
Indeed. The nicest so far. We'll see what Fanstoys can come up with.

Actually he's slightly under mp 10 prime he's incredible wonderfully built sturdy and heavy with rubber tires!
Meh. I'm done with KFC/XTB. They are consistently inconsistent.
Really? I'm trying to think of what XTB/KFC figures as of late that have been bad.

Yea, forgot about Junkions. Heard they were good, too. I scaled back my collection recently, and XTB/KFC didn't make the cut.
