Lol thanks for the shout out, but its like I said We need space for Con symbols XD Also I wish that in the combiner limb mode they made use of the the two pegs next to the neck to secure the top panel even more. Great review Ben! Believe it or not though he actually scales perfectly with mp saber and in combined mode with mp starsaber as well. Looking forward to Thanatos review.
I've never watched Transformers Victory, but this guy is absolutely gorgeous just by himself. Robot and alt modes look very good, the combiner mode seems a bit messy but that doesn't matter that much. Maybe you could put a tiny con symbol on the shoulder or the outer wing-flaps? Dunno. Sweet review, Ben. Keep it up! :D
You can slap some symbols on his wings, tail fin and maybe the cockpit if you want. Many Transformers have there faction symbols just on alt mode parts.
Great review! Would just like to offer that the smaller pair of "wings" on the front of the alt mode are referred to as "canards" in the aircraft world. These are fairly common in various designs. :D
Looks like Liokaiser will be more or less a similar size to Star Saber which is accurate to the anime. The side by side with Saber looks great. I wouldn't be beholden to scale at the expense of enjoying a toy anyway, but if you were, this is pretty much on the money.
It looks as if he has a second hinge on the shoulder, above the bicep that connects to the shoulder, maybe its meant to help transformation into vehicle?
First of all, great video. Super informative with a good dash of opinion. Secondly, I'm so torn. I've wanted a 3P Lio Kaiser for years and I prayed Maketoys would be the ones to deliver but with TFC.....I have severe doubts plus what we've seen of the combined mode so far has some issues. I think for the first time in my collecting life I'll be sitting back and waiting to see how it goes rather than buying on release.
+Benscollectables As I mentioned in my comment, I have faith in other companies to buy into combiners before seeing the finished product but this will be the first time I buy TFC as their previous releases haven't suited my taste.
Great review again Ben. Those TFC breastmasters (breast hee hee) are pretty sick eh. I got to play around with Ryans after TFCON USA. I am very tempted by them. The TFC Quality has really stepped up with this new Combiner.
Rescue force ain't exactly the worlds best selling thing but I guest some will be sold since he's kinda the worst auto it combiner and yet he was made out of one of the best combiner molds of g1
Weird spelling of Liokaiser there Ben :) I may be building my own Leokaiser from CW bots but this is probably going to end up being bought too, and if not the whole team, at least Hellbat. Also Saber's legs can extend a bit further out than that. Combined mode is really going to give Star Saber a run for his money
Your awesome Ben and your reviews are always early which I appreciate. This one maybe not as much early but still right out the gates. I have these bots in my pile atm so its nice to see a review to know they are as good as they look. I still think you should do both sides when you show transformation but you can't deny your reviews are sublime (as you would say lol). *One question unrelated; Are you getting the Weijang Leader class KO Evasion Optimus Prime (with improvements) movie figure??*
Thank you for your detailed review once again, Ben. From what I can observe, it seem like the jet parts on the shoulder while in combiner arm mode doesn't tab in huh? Also, the robot arms in limb mode does seems to be in an awkward position according to instruction. Otherwise, the figures overall seems pretty solid.
The instructions are very poor and my combiner limb mode may be incorrect , instructions also show the transformation to turn him in to the right arm which is incorrect whilst box art shows correct as left arm ... I based my transformation on the box art
why couldn't the arms fold into the body, instead they are unwanted kibble? Reminds me a lot of one of their TFC aerialbots. Most likely a reason this hit the shelves so quickly reusing 3d geometry and combiner ports.
It's a Rafale. Rounded intakes and the canard wings connect to the forward fuselage behind the canopy. On the Typhoon the intakes are rectangular and the canards attach near the front of the canopy.
I really wish people would stop calling them "Breast Masters". No such things. They were Breastforce. The name of the little bat guy is Komoribreast, and he is a "Breast Animal". The Decepticon symbol goes on in left breast in roboT mode, and there is one on his partner there when it covers it up. There are also symbols on each wing in jet mode. tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/2e/Victory-toy_Hellbat.jpg
Thank you for reviewing Minos, I think he would look great with generations style figures like Springer and Blitzwing.
Simple looking but satisfying looking transformation

If I only get 1 of these figures, it'll probably be this one. I love how he looks just as a transformers!
you are right!! but 1 more to consider is H04 radamanthus.. he is perfect.. at least to me
+kornkixassman H04 is phenomenal!!! Nuff said

Sweet review, Ben. Keep it up! :D
Get to watching victory, hands out a remote, and bag of popcorn....
The clawed hands work for me as they were somewhat animal themed.
gorgeous set, gotta get me some of these, VICTORY!
Such a great figure, the problem whit this one is get one or two!!!
(one to show, one for combiner)
The holes on the shoulders are supposed to connect into the pegs on the underside of the jet's top plates in arm mode.
Robot mode is amazing. The transformation however, is just a slightly upgraded combiner wars aerialbot. Definitely buying for bot mode.
You can slap some symbols on his wings, tail fin and maybe the cockpit if you want. Many Transformers have there faction symbols just on alt mode parts.
Now I'm going to have to buy these now, great review!
WOW Liokaiser got modernize :D so cool
Ooh styrofoam...classy! That definately is a nice nod back to G1.
Great review! Would just like to offer that the smaller pair of "wings" on the front of the alt mode are referred to as "canards" in the aircraft world. These are fairly common in various designs. :D
Ah thank you very much sir ... Now I know
Looks like Liokaiser will be more or less a similar size to Star Saber which is accurate to the anime. The side by side with Saber looks great. I wouldn't be beholden to scale at the expense of enjoying a toy anyway, but if you were, this is pretty much on the money.
Yeah victory leo combining with star saber is what made him as tall as liokaiser actually :D
His plane mode looks about as good as their version of Aerialbots.
It looks as if he has a second hinge on the shoulder, above the bicep that connects to the shoulder, maybe its meant to help transformation into vehicle?

I completely understand ... I'll def be getting him all but sometimes it's just nice to see the finished article before throwing your money at it
+Benscollectables As I mentioned in my comment, I have faith in other companies to buy into combiners before seeing the finished product but this will be the first time I buy TFC as their previous releases haven't suited my taste.
+Vigadeath I think you will be okay with this set as its a major step up in both design and quality over their earlier releases.
Great review again Ben. Those TFC breastmasters (breast hee hee) are pretty sick eh. I got to play around with Ryans after TFCON USA. I am very tempted by them. The TFC Quality has really stepped up with this new Combiner.
Very cool. I hope they make a Rescue force versions :D
Rescue force ain't exactly the worlds best selling thing but I guest some will be sold since he's kinda the worst auto it combiner and yet he was made out of one of the best combiner molds of g1
well if they can sell shattered glass hercules they can sell rescue force.

its spelled liokaiser not leokaiser (an character from an different series is called leo kaiser)

LOOK AT THE TORSO its not enough space to hide them though they aren't that noticable...
are you be reviewing the tfc Poseidon figures
I don't know if the jet mode is supposed to be a Eurofighter Typhoon or Dassault Rafale.
It's a Rafale. Rounded intakes and the canard wings connect to the forward fuselage behind the canopy.
On the Typhoon the intakes are rectangular and the canards attach near the front of the canopy.
Heres hoping their seacons are as well made...
the moment you realize tfc used the combiner wars aerialbots mold...
Lol yep
where did you get the background?
Didn't Soundwave have a lawsuit pending on Breast/Chest Force?
Now if only they'd plan for an extra figure not-Deathcobra.
it almost looks like TFC took a page out of UT Ordin... looks like the same style and plastic... might be a good scale to Ordin and MMC PK...
I really wish people would stop calling them "Breast Masters". No such things. They were Breastforce. The name of the little bat guy is Komoribreast, and he is a "Breast Animal".
The Decepticon symbol goes on in left breast in roboT mode, and there is one on his partner there when it covers it up. There are also symbols on each wing in jet mode. tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/2/2e/Victory-toy_Hellbat.jpg
I will call them Breastmasters if I want to :)
But the facts are duly noted
+Benscollectables yeah breastforce is the teams name not the type of master they are...
+Jetfire48 I like to think of myself as a breast master
When you compare it to Ironhide, what is the Generations scale figure?
+James Sargent fansproject dinoichi
Here's hellbat the starscream of victory
+Megrimlock78 well not exactly because even hellbat was a traitor to his tea in secret
Team not tea dang autocorrect
Will u be reviewing Tfc`s Kill bison?
Yes
Is he worth as a standalone figure?
yeah, but you should honestly get the whole team of liokaisrr if you get one
