Magic Square MS-01X+ Light of Freedom Optimus Prime Metallic Version [Comment]

diode: In my opinion, this is among the best implementations of Optimus Prime. I particularly appreciate:
a) the bulky and imposing look
b) the panels on his waist made from transparent yellow plastic
c) the visible details behind the blue window shields
d) the fact that the grill is the same in robot mode and truck mode
e) the way he holds his axe, without having to remove or reposition his hand

TFC Toys Poseidon Set of 6 Figures [Review]

diode: This is one of the best purchases I've made since I started collecting Transformers.
Despite the age of the set, all figures have a nice design, with nice mold and interesting details. The colors are superb and in combination with parts made of clear plastic, we get a unique result with clear references to the old figures while achieving a fresh, modern and stylized look.
The quality of plastic is high and the finishing is good.
I liked the engineering too, despite the fact that you may need to try some times for some pieces to move or get tabbed in the right place.
Many collectors will also appreciate the lack of parts-forming.
I wouldn't say it is very stable as a combiner as it tends to lean forward, especially when holding the tremendously large sword. The latter, even if it is exaggerated in size, it remains a beautiful accessory which does not steal the glory of the combiner.
I dare to say that TFC King Poseidon is probably the most beautiful piece in my display.

diode: I was impressed by this nice figure from Unique Toys. It feels solid and well-made. It has a nice, clean design and several details allover the body.
The car is great and the robot is OK too, apart from a few issues: the actual lack of waist is king of weird. The hands look weird too. They do not look like fists at first sight. Finally, the eyes are not properly painted and consequently the face may look indifferent.

Megatank MT01B Monocrat Megatron Original Version [Comment]

diode: I had been anticipating this figure for a long time. It is worth the wait.
The figure has a great design: clean, balanced, no gaps, no kibble.
Nice finishing and paintwork, numerous details allover the body.
Strong and reliable ratchets everywhere.
Overall, it's an imposing and impressive version of Megatron. Worth every penny.

If I were to complain about something, that would be the way the eyes are lightened: you have to remove the upper part of the helmet and slide a button directly on the circuit board. To make thins worse, there is not enough clearance for the thin cables of the circuit board and you risk to cut a cable every time. A really bad design and implementation.

Fantastic look, high quality, premium finishing, amazing colors, great engineering. I transformed it to robot mode almost entirely by intuition.
