I’m convinced that the only reason Reverse Convoy existed was that some higher up employee at Takara came up with the wordplay and nobody could tell him no so they had to come up with the head swapping gimmick working backwards.
The current scaling makes it so that the carbots’ heads are around the middle of his ab grill. With the height increase, it'll probably end up similar to the MP scale where carbots end up just past his waist, which is probably more accurate to the scale chart.
Looks pretty cool and is 5mm peg compatible. It's uncharacteristically good for a Fans Hobby release. Don't like the colorless clear but I might just buy this one.
I find it funny that they prioritize vehicle mode scale so much exclusively for Magnuses. I mean, yeah, his truck cab is the same size as Optimus and his vehicle mode transports cars so logically he should be gargantuan but at the same time, we don’t see Hasbro making gigantic Astrotrains or...
I drunk ordered one myself, and since my WFC Springer’s got a messed up tailfin, it’s not a total loss.
I don’t mind the hammer but not a fan of how it’s got such a short handle for the gigantic hammerhead. Ends up looking like a Looney tunes mallet. I also find the giant missile thing very...
Fixed Tidal Wave’s leg boat issues. Tried floor polish on the clips but it didn’t do all that much. Been assembling model kits lately so I took some of the 5mm sprue parts and plugged them into the screwholes on Tidal wave’s left leg. Now he stays together perfectly.
While I happened to have...
Picked up Unicorn Overlord. Silly name, decent gameplay but goddamn is it slow. Have to put a horse class into each team to make it bearable.
The squad-based autobattle strategy gameplay loop reminds me of a game I played in the PS1 or PS2 era. Can't remember the name but I also remember a...
So Hasbro retooled nearly everything from the waist up with very similar in terms of function and appearance parts. Then decided the hammer was enough to justify Leader-class.
The sword rotors also bother me something fierce. It just looks wrong. Dammit Hasbro you already figured this out...
Looks like a decent Optimus with a giant useless box. As expected but I guess I was expecting more than a couple of blast effects at the Commander price point.

I use this stuff but I don’t think it’s as accessible on that side of the world.
generally, the stuff that R/C car enthusiasts use should be good on most types of plastic.
My personal aquarium’s not big enough to try floating combined mode. I may try in my parent’s massive goldfish tank if I remember to bring him along when I do maintenance.
I don’t understand what you mean by the robot mode like the Armada game…?
Lockdown seems like a poor fit since he’s a bounty hunter who works alone. This is probably just a temporary advisory role as a pirate consultant.
His qualification is the hook hand.
I use WIndows only because of a deep seated grudge I have against Macs since a Mac at our school computer room crashed so hard it lost high school me a day's worth of progress.
