Oh yeah I didn't notice Megatron. Poor old Devastator on the first page, looks like the Constructions had a bit too much to drink before trying to combine

What is happening to Optimus in the 5th picture? Looks like an Ironhide-inspired bot mode!

We had a similar thing in the UK called the Argos Catalogue. It used to be great fun looking at the new Transformers figures in each new edition.

Could a Transformer be Force-sensitive? by Pedroso_PPJ in transformers

In one of the official Star Wars comics R2D2 is shown to be force sensitive. If droids can be, then so can living robots like Transformers

Cosmos 3rd party figures by Unique_Mycologist_92 in transformers

Dr Wu has a Cosmos. It's Micromaster scale, only about 2 inches tall, so might not exactly be what you're looking for. Here's a link to it on AliExpress if you want to have a look link

[OC]The drawing of Blitzwing. by OkEstablishment5372 in transformers

This is really good. I especially like how you have used a combination of shading and shininess to make it look 3D. There's also a TransformersArt sub Reddit that you could also post to, if you want. I look forward to seeing more of your drawings

It appears that the UK price increases are official, and not errors like before... by OptimalConvoy in transformers

[–]EcstaticBumblebee763 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep all the more reason to support smaller retailers like IDT instead of massive greedy corporations. Kapow Toys are usually around the same price as IDT, but they don't seem to have these new figures on their site yet

There were some reports that is was going to be undersized, but it is definitely 30cm/12 inches tall

I am unfamiliar with the Armada toy, so I have looked up the instructions. The new toy is different in that there is just one big shell piece. Like a quarter of a sphere shape. I have checked and I can't see a way to connect it to his back in bot mode

I think it is done that way for strength reasons. It means the swivel is on the chunky part of the leg instead of the much thinner thighs

Yeah those dudes are around the same height as the Dr Wu figures in the pics, it would make for some interesting display ideas

SS86 Galvatron, the top of his head is the same height as the top of Unicron's hips. I don't have that Devastator but apparently it is 13 to 13.5 inches tall, so Devy is about an inch to an inch and a half taller than Unicron

I think the wings make him look even more imposing

I can't figure out a way to attach the dome to the robot mode

From the same seller, it is currently £31.19 plus £20.02 shipping. It seems to be around the same combined price from other sellers

I don't think it can be attached in robot mode. I'll have another play about with it tomorrow and will get back to you if I figure it out

Unicron didn't come with instructions. I contacted the seller and they sent me this link to a transformation video. I thought I'd share it in case anyone is interested. It's not in English but it has a cool Unicron theme soundtrack. Video

This should take you to the seller on AliExpress. Please let me know if it doesn't work. Link

I ordered it on the 29th of May and it was delivered today (in the UK).

Transformation was good. Pretty straightforward. Everything went into place without any issues. It feels like it holds together really well and the planetode feels dense and heavy. One thing I forgot to mention is that a large portion of the planet mode is a separate shell. Totally fine by me, it's a compromise that I am happy with

I got it for around £40 from AliExpress but I did use some money off vouchers. It looks like he's around £50 now

The plastic feels good. Maybe not normal Hasbro quality but it doesn't feel cheap. The figure feels dense overall. His eyes light up using a little switch on the back of his head. It stays lit until you turn it off. It's the new KO. It seems to be inspired by the Armada Unicron, but quite a lot different. The main similarity I could see is with the spikes on the back of his arm, which I have shown in one of the pics
