Gonna stick with Apollyon for now.

A bit of robot kibble on the rear beast mode legs but otherwise pretty good.

I PO'd it. Hopefully Dinobot is next.

I need to see a colored Despotron test shot. But it is the best Megatron so far IMO.

God damn it takara.

video review of dx9's mightron

looks ok... back kibble is def an eyesore!

 

[thecorsair]

Yeah, but nothing too bad. Looks great

Agreed, I think it's just one of those compromises that gets made due to real world physics not being able to cheat like the animation and it's at the back so if I get an extra to keep in beast mode I won't even see it.

I've just paid for my first one via Kapow Toys, really looking forward to having him and Primal on display together. I don't normally do stand ins but The Takara Legends version of Rattrap is about the right scale in robot mode so he'll go with them until someone makes an MP version.

They can probably just improve a few things on rattrap, give it a new paint job and call it an MP

Got the review up for MakeToys Battle Sentinel which uses the new Gento Core bot. Pretty cool stuff.

It's a decent enough mold for what it is, but it's no Masterpiece. I think they'd be better starting from scratch.

Whoever makes an MP Rattrap could make the following improvements,

1.The robot kibble should be better hidden in rat mode so he doesn't look odd when posed standing on his back legs.

2.Robot mode needs a proper neck instead of just being sat on a balljoint. Rattrap's was quite defined in both his series 1 & Transmetal forms.

3.Better arm articulation and either fully articulated hands or swappable ones sculpted with some different gestures. Rattrap used his hands a lot as he talked so it'd be nice to have the option to recreate how expressive he was.

4.Opening panels on each forearm, one for a tool and one for an explosives pack.

5.Accurate colored gun & explosives pack. I was surprised that neither Takara version of the Generations mold rectified Hasbro's mistake/laziness.

6.Multiple headsculpts for each mode....we've already seen this with Primal & Cheetor so there's a precedent.

7.Properly sized front teeth on the rat heads. A minor nitpick on the Generations mold but on a Masterpiece figure the small details matter much more and it'd be an easy enough to do.

Love the video reviews. Short and to the point covering all the important points.

Ben posted an update where the back kibble looks WAY better.

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

I'm digging Mightron. Arms look at lot better proportioned than on Apollyon. Overall looks more cartoon accurate.

On a related note, I'm now selling my Apollyon if anyone is interested! Also have all FT Dinibots for sale (except Grimlock).

 

[Pro Design]

i wanted to see what some color looked like on him... so i slapped some on to get an idea...

 

[Wanderer]

Great effort there i like it.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

And it'll most likely be better made than Apollyon. I wish FT would take a crack at Megs.

 

[Pro Design]

It's possible. We'll just have to wait until we see some reviews. So far I like what I see.

better made maybe, but the better looking figure? NOPE!

 

[lerath666]

yeah, ok. i'm in. not a fan of the hinge on his side, but what are ya gonna do?

 

[Wanderer]

What's everyone's views on DX9 Mightron? I know Maketoys looks pretty nice but this isnt half bad stood in a crowd of MPs.
Im torn. . .
