Evaluation of Black Mamba GS-01 Studio Series SS-80 Brawn Oversized Version

▼In the history of G1, the character of Brawn is a small strong man with a strong sense of existence. His English name Brawn literally translates to physical strength, which also represents that his smaller individuals contain strong strength. In the official data, he can lift 190000 pounds (about 86000 kg), This proud strength is his confidence to play Megatron alone in the G1 series.

▼With his good popularity, he was in the opening of the Bumblebee movie Cybertron War Was able to Surprised Hong stepped on the stage at a glance, but was shot away before he could show his camouflage form. But even if These characters appearing at the beginning of the film can only take a dip as eggs, Under the direction of Director Wright, their artistic style, which organically combines the realistic mechanical style and G1 elements, has been deeply impressed in the minds of fans.

▼If there is demand, there will be a market. The official SS line has launched a number of external characters several years after the film was released. However, due to well-known cost constraints, official designers dance on the edge of the knife, and products launched with all their efforts will always leave various regrets.

▼Recently, a manufacturer named Titan Model; launched a new type of outsider, whose SKU is GS-01, which finally added some fresh blood to the third party;s popular stories of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Today, let's take a look at the performance of this new third-party MPM product at the official D-level price——

▼The outer package of GS Dahan is very simple. The cover is a 3D rendering of the product, and the words on the back are Metamorphic universe. Literally speaking, it should be metamorphic universe. It's really a strange name. I wonder if Zuckerberg's METAVERSE was cued.

▼There is no difference between the front and back of the outer package. They are all the same seal. As a cheap product, There is no manual attached The side of the box has the manufacturer's deformation video QR code.

▼GS Brawn didn't have many accessories, but he also did some tricks of his own: changed the Autobots; standard system big gun set by the legendary Brawn to a two-stage version, and also brought a drill bit, so that there are more accessories to play with.

▼The front shape of Brawn is basically the same as the setting drawing in the big outline, but there are still some differences in the mechanical structure lines of the small arms, thighs and other details.

▼Head carving is basically a magnified version of SS. Take a closer look exactly ugly, but that's how the movie was set. I don't know if the inspiration of the Red Tank in X-men was used in the design of the movie.

▼Compared with the SS Outgoing Brawn in the figure below, the GS Brawn is still much stronger in painting and model texture, but due to the increase in size, it lacks more details and is not as compact and delicate as the SS series.

▼On the side, you can see Brawn's iconic bulging chest and yellow and green necks. It would be better if we could add more battle damage details, but I'm afraid it is difficult to achieve at the current price. Maybe we can only rely on the re painting or fine painting version of the craftsman (if any in the future).

▼At first, when I looked at the GS version of the backpack, I found that it was obviously different from the SS version. I thought it was the original act of a third-party designer. I didn't find it until I turned to the official design draft, This man's backpack is really loyal to the film design The backpack of the SS version of the Brawn is a concession made under cost constraints.

▼In the movie setting, the backpack of Brawn is designed with parts such as a single wheel connected by an air jet port and a hydraulic rod. The GS version has restored it well.

▼It can be seen from the whole circle that the wrapping degree of GS Brawn's body is very good, The whole body looks very complete. However, the color matching of the lower part of the backpack and calf is not careful enough, which is somewhat different from the setting. In fact, the color matching of these parts does not significantly affect the vehicle shape. If the manufacturer makes more careful research, it may be better.

▼Compared with the SS version below as the backpack in the cockpit of the whole vehicle form, the backpack in the film setting diagram has a sense of hierarchy and design.

▼As an immature new brand, GS Brawn also has some obvious problems in his design that affect the human figure performance. For example, although his chest cavity is ingeniously combined from the upper, lower left and lower right parts, due to the strength and tolerance of the buckle, it is difficult to perfectly close the three parts, It's easy to explode when playing.

▼The personal experience of writer is to press the joints shown in the figure below to the end as much as possible, so that the parts can fit the chest shell as much as possible, which can relatively optimize the seam closing effect.

▼Even after trying to adjust, The seam on the right chest is still obvious due to the lack of more effective buckles Relatively speaking, the suture of the left chest can be stronger.

▼There is also a seam problem at the back of the calf, because the whole calf part is alloy, It has almost no fixation effect with the small buckle of the calf side nail It is easy to detach when doing some movements. Fortunately, this position is relatively hidden and does not affect the front shape.

▼GS designers have made a remedy for the above problem that is better than nothing. They have designed two buckles at the foot plate of Brawn. If the foot plate is completely straight, the two buckles at the calf will be inserted and fixed. But once the grounding joint of the foot plate is opened, these buckles will not be useful.

▼With the weight of two big alloys in the lower leg, the big man's weight exceeded half a jin, reaching 270g.

▼Let's look at the mobility of Brawn. It can be clearly seen that the main feature of this big man is the human figure performance, and his overall performance of mobility is also good. It is a pity that he has no gear joints all over his body. Although the tightness of each joint is basically enough at present, it is inevitable that the joints will become loose after playing for a long time.

Limited by the shape of the helmet, His head can only pitch about 15 degrees.

▼The neck can rotate about 45 degrees.

▼Shoulder side lift can reach about 110 degrees.

▼Shoulders can swing smoothly 360 degrees from front to back; The upper arm rotates 360 degrees horizontally; Double joint elbow about 140 degrees ； Thanks to the deformation structure design, the wrist is a ball joint, which can rotate horizontally and swing to a certain extent; The waist rotates 360 degrees, but it is easy to disengage the breastplate buckle.

▼The hand is fully hands-on, and each finger has two separate segments to move.

▼The clasp used to fix the weapon on the hand is slightly longer and thinner The material of this product is ordinary, and it is easy to get white marks. When inserting or pulling weapons, you must handle them with care.

▼The back kick of thigh can reach more than 120 degrees.

▼Front kick can also easily exceed 100 degrees.

▼Side kick 180 degree straight horse.

▼Because of the deformation, the thigh has an inner swing joint in addition to a flat rotation joint.

▼It can help you to cross your legs——

▼Knee bending can reach about 130 degrees.

▼Ground the foot side for about 30 degrees.

▼When the grounding range in the side direction is large enough, the tire parts in the trouser legs will be exposed to supplement meat It is also a good deformation structure design.

▼Front foot grounding can reach 90 degrees The tire can also play a role of meat supplement at a certain angle. Note that the joint of the ankle is very thin. I have white marks after two or three changes, Note that it is very dangerous here and may break at any time.

▼The forefoot can also be folded back and forth , providing more space for human pose to play freely.

▼Therefore, the squatting and hammering position of GS man is very easy——

▼His big gun can be split into two small pistols.

▼If the drill bit accessory is inserted on the shorter side of the muzzle, the weapon shape will be more beautiful.

▼The combination of two small guns will get the standard rifle in the film, but it seems that the proportion is a little smaller than the film.

▼The three accessories can also be combined to become the ultimate form of this weapon.

▼The height of the big man is about 17cm, which basically belongs to the MPM scale line. It matches with the SS outer pass iron sheet of KO version of another magnified fine painting mold.

▼It seems a bit scary when it is put together with the original SS online character.

▼Another third-party SX external sound transmission uses the DLX ratio, which is still larger than the big man's height.

▼Now let's take a look at the deformation of the big man. This deformation design of the big man's upper body really has a bright spot: first, open the lower breastplate——

▼Again, the ball joint of the two half breastplate parts is easy to loosen when deformed.

▼Then turn up the whole chest along the neck and pull out the roof parts hidden in the chest——

▼At this time, turn the joints of the back neck 180 degrees to form the cockpit of the car.

▼Then move the arm forward to avoid collision, and then turn the joint at the red circle in the following figure 180 degrees again to form the front part of the car.

▼Next, we just need to put the human shaped shoulder armor together to form the shape of the front bumper, Note that the clasp fixing the arm armpit is also long and thin In order to avoid the snap breaking in the process of deformation, it is recommended that the snap here should stick to the arm as shown in the figure below, without inserting it. The space here is enough to accommodate the deformation of the arm, and the strength of the arm joint can also support the model without loosening.

▼After the lower body completes the leg retraction deformation similar to the fit war style, the model is basically completed. Finally, the calf parts are buckled inward, and the whole deformation process steps are very simple and efficient, and there is a certain fault tolerance.

▼However, different people have different opinions on the results after deformation. The shape of this Cybertron vehicle is really abstract. Oh, yes—— All four tires of the model are made of rubber.

▼The design of the model is too casual, which makes people wonder whether it is a car or a child safety seat?

▼The rear of the car will be exposed more, revealing big feet and some holes.

▼The cavity is specially designed with a weapon socket, which can be inserted into the rear of the vehicle after the weapon is disassembled into the shape of an air jet.

▼The drill bit parts can also be installed to the head like the SS version to salute the G1 animation——

▼According to this puzzling vehicle shape, I have reason to suspect that the GS Brawn may have completed the design of the big frame many years ago, even before the SS series of external transmission Brawn has not been launched. Because the design of the vehicle of the Outgoing Brawn was released just before the release of the SS character, the designer could only find the figure picture, but could not find any vehicle information.

▼This is very similar to the SX external acoustic wave designed by a third party long before the launch of SS external acoustic wave. Its camouflage form is also abstract.

▼Later, the official announced the more abstract form of the braised chicken spaceship, which expanded the players' tolerance of external transmission vehicles to a greater extent. Now it seems that the acoustic model of SX is not so difficult to accept.

▼Put the external transmission iron sheet vehicles of the enlarged ko version together. In fact, the style is also very suitable.

▼Since it looks like a baby chair, it's better to take a group photo with the newly shipped laser cat's big head - this style of painting is not inconsistent~

▼In general, this GS Brawn, excellent figure performance and creative deformation design, but at the same time, it still looks too rough in the control of the restoration of some small details. The material of gusset pulling and a few careless buckle designs also increase the risk of playing broken.
