I've waited almost 20 years for this.
Just nail the combo, Takara. Just for once let somebody finally nail it.

If Takara can't do it, nobody can. They're the only big company that can actually do transforming and combining robots
In 2008 I almost bought the CM's set in a fit of madness. I'm glad I saw reason.
I almost went for their Genesic Gaogaigar and only missed it because somebody else bought the one unit from only store that had it.
i only really liked Gambaruger from this series though

Gambaruger looks tedious to me. Raijin-Oh is the sweet spot. It captures the Brave/Eldran look well enough, but the combination shouldn't require complete disassembly into a pile of Lego.
I don't dislike Raijin-Oh but he's somewhat generic. Daitei-Oh is more or less a rehash and I just don't like Gosaurer. Gambaruger wins by default. I much prefer his default combined mode over Geeat Gambarugar though.
It's also the only one I actually watched.

The engineering on Swoop looks to be unconventional, effective and simple. These guys really are the best 3P currently active. Looks like the wings fold up similar to TR Mindwipe to form the robot legs then he deploys winglets from his torso. Combiner joint is the ab crunch, so that leaves some space in the torso to hide the hand. Grimlock's kinda huge but no getting around that since he has to be the torso by himself. Even he's got a new trasnformation, with the lower jaws apparently forming the arms. Slag looks boring in comparison. Really looking forward to this.
They're also apparently making a Vehicle Voltron but with each vehicle having a robot mode. Just bonkers.
Huh. Grimlock’s chestplate is the two dinosaur arms tabbed together. Man I love these guys.
i like when transforming robot toys totally don't partsform because the piece stays attached to an armature lol
Better than a string.
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot about that jetfire... lol
Somehow it managed not to be the worst third party Jetfire.
If we had a time machine Fnu... I don't think we could convince ourselves of that... but yeah, there have been worse ones lol
My favorite example of bad engineering is still Fan Hobby's Armada Prime with the daisy chains
Engineering like that is why Hasbro doesn't worry about third parties all that much.
Current 3rd parties only survive by the fact that Takara can't afford to make MPs of crowdfiller characters and aren't stupid enough to charge MP prices for toys smaller than deluxes.
Installation’s a bitch but this kit is worth it
Witwiqi WK-01 Ultra Magnus Kit - My verdict? Buying it is a hassle, installation is a chore but the results are worth it. It's more tedious than hard really, but the application of force can be scary, I admit. That said, I've done literal Surgery so my threshold for this type of small, precise work may be skewed.
Crap, forgot Rimuru for the after shots.

Jeebus. I would have been a lot less whiny about the lack of an inner robot if the stock toy looked like that.
A Commander class set of white Optimus and armor would be pretty cool and would make for a relatively simple, partsformy transformation into Magnus but I guess copying the MP was cheaper to develop.
