The flimsiness of the shoulders reminds me so much of the engineering of their Fuzz. Watching Bobby transform an XTB or KFC bot feels like watching a Saw victim solve a puzzle. And almost every XTB/KFC release feels like a Blumhouse Productions film; we already know what we're getting ourselves into, yet we still give it a chance.
Nope … I saw the first in hand pictures and immediately cancelled my preorder … anyone else that ever attempts this will blow it out of the water even if I won’t see it for years… not an important enough character to just fill a spot with like I was willing to do with Windcharger back in the day
Appreciated the subtle production there where you used the Counterpunch mode to illustrate the negatives, then the Punch mode to talk about the positives.
I think this figure brings up an issue you should start covering. The transformation back to alt mode! I don't think you need to necessarily film it, but do it off camera and comment on any issues you come across.
How the hell is this company still in business? I swear, KFC/XTB have consistently been infamous for this kind of overengineering, fiddly fragile parts, and poor tolerance issues. Looks are just about the only thing they have going for them but that barely matters when the figure itself is fragile junk.
Proud of you for taking your time and not breaking him, he looks so fragile. I think taking that lap works well for you. I do the same. Though was on the edge of my seat a couple times, lol.

I quit xtransbots years ago for the reasons you show great vid

Wouldn't be XTB without a fatal flaw waiting to happen.

pretty sure another review showed the shoulders arent pins, but the screw heads are behind the yellow chest?
James Bond probably would not drive a Pontiac Fiero.

The main reason I am picking this guy up at all is i really don't see the character being made by anyone else any time soon.
The transformation of that figure is a nightmare. Pass on it
I was SO close to grabbing this guy the other day. It’s sad that I’m glad I didn’t. Appreciate you taking one for the team as always.
XTB does whatever is possible to convince me not to buy their products 😅 So far they are doing a great job!
Hahahahaha, I like the Robert D head on your spudger.
I like him. Im gonna get 2 to put in each mode. Punch and CounterPunch
After too many breaks I previously cancelled all my XTB preorders and this review confirms that was the right decision.
Good job taking your time with this figure, especially the feet when changing it from alt mode. And also when you unpegged the back part of alt mode!
So excited to watch this! I Have been avoiding everyone elses videos.
I breathed a sigh of relief when you got past the legs.
