robbimax: New Age continues its successful streak of practically perfect g1 characters in legend scale.
This inferno, for example, looks better than a lot of MPs out there.
Good job!
diode: Legends scale is full of gems and New Age has released most of them!

massimovitillo: Robot mode reminds me a ninja-samurai figure, battleship mode looks very captivating, Toys Easy has started his activity with an interesting combiner.
diode: Yes, the project overall seems interesting, to say the least!

diode: It is actually my first Legends-scale figure and I'm thrilled so I don't know how objective I can be.
I like it a lot! The mold is neat, the color scheme is awesome, the quality of plastic is high and transformation is satisfactory. It has ab-crunch too! Great little Grimlock!
The price is a bit high though. In addition, I'm not sure for how long those golden-painted parts will keep their shine.
Overall, a great option for the scale, both in terms of quality and aesthetics.

diode: NA always has a way to create new figures from existing molds. Sometimes, such variations are very interesting. I'm not sure whether I like it or not but the result is unique.

Xamot: well this is promising.  I have 3 mp 44 variants and 3 transform element versions but no trailer.  I'm going to have to get this.  hopefully this will be inexpensive, in my opinion there is no reason to make this more than $50 as it doesn't transform.
diode: Trailers are a pain point. I have 3 different versions of Optimus and no trailer. This one seems decent.

Wynn Salman: If the toy being titled FM-02 and the panel lines on the cab transformer more so than the armor, I have the strongest suspicion this is the fabled Fans Toys Optimus premold and I’m fucking excited.
diode: Highly anticipated figure for sure! Let's wait (a lot) and see!

Xamot: I'm glad they went with parts forming just for this guy.  every  non parts forming Devastator stuggles with bot made on this guy because they need him to be the torso, crotch and start of legs this causes him to be way to wide.  I passed on picking up the combiner wars version just because of this guy.    Unless Vectron labs actually gets made and is actually reasonable price which I doubt it will be looks like Xtransbots will be my bot mode Constructicons. Still love my Toy World for devastator.
diode: I think they made the right choice. I don't like red lines such as "no parts forming" or "cartoon accuracy" to the expense of a ridiculously difficult transformation. I'm in a search for a Devastator and I've put pre-orders both on XTB and Vectron Lab. But I think Toy World's is the best choice until today.

VORTEX: I have received it in a very short time and in perfect condition, as is almost always the case with Show Z.

It is a figure that competes with the TE-01 to become the best MP Optimus Prime,  I will comment on the pros and cons:

Advantage:
- Aesthetically it seems to me the best Prime mold to date.
- Joint mobility and posing ability is one of the best I've seen.
- The transformation is very good, regardless of whether we like the alternate mode more or less.

Cons:
- The quality of materials does not seem to be the best, it has little consistency and weight.
- The painting is scarce and very basic.

If we take into account the value for money, it would not be bad at all, although in that sense the TE is still better, but this one certainly looks better in its robot mode and is beautiful as the definitive G1.
diode: I think this describes the case with MS-02 perfectly. By the way, you have a nice trio there!

hungreeBmee: Ok… This looks good but it is lacking in areas that really make this a Jetfire like long head guns and armor pieces. I don’t know if this is enough for me to go in on but it does look good. Just not the EX look I was hoping for. :(
diode: Too similar with the ordinary version. It's mainly a repaint with references to EX look. Kind of disappointment.
