Mayhem Transformers Discussion: Reheated Leftover POTPie

[unluckiness]

Yeah. The lightpiping may save it but the red contrasts much better. Would work if we had the pink face wich I am considering. White antennae are a huge improvement though. I was planning to paint them but these guys decided to give options. Would have preferred a pink head but eh

The practicalities of owning the largest Transformers figure ever made

 

[unluckiness]

I'll always be in awe of the logistics of manufacturing and shipping this behemoth all over the world. I would never own one for all the reasons but it's still very impressive.

Hope it holds up over time. It's the approximate size and mass of a small refrigerator but all the stress is on the hips and feet.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I didn't expect this to get made. Whether it holds up or not, they had their moment.

 

[unluckiness]

I like how they refer to it as Divorce class.

i appreciate that it got made but seriously it looks no fun to handle.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I appreciate the ambition that went into producing this abomination, but even without the enormous price tag I'd never want one. I struggle to justify the space for a Titan, never mind a piece of furniture. And once the novelty wears off, what can you really do with it?

 

[Haywire]

Yeah, it's super cool in theory, but my practical side keeps saying "why not just build a Metroplex-shaped shelf to display some Transformers?"

Hun Grr coming soon. Let’s go!

Backpack looks pretty big but all the combiner chestplate needed to go somewhere I guess. Interestingly, the pink tail tip looks to split apart and form the middle segment of the chestshield. I love that kind of transformation engineering. That clown gun needs painting though.

I’m also not a prude but that naming is nothing but trouble. It’s going to be an awkward talk when my mail shows up while I’m at work or something and somebody else has to receive my Satan merchandise.

 

[unluckiness]

It’s a little-known fact that Abominus received his name during the 1986 Annual Combiner Bowling League after he successfully transformed converted a 7-10 split.

The Terrorcons, starring in Swan Lake.

There were no survivors.

 

[unluckiness]

He certainly has enough pink to be in the production.

 

[unluckiness]

Behold, the final form of "we needed the kit to look like it was doing something"

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I could see someone wanting to transform it that way but I don't see what the kit contributes here. Does it add something so Long Haul's legs lock in that position?

 

[unluckiness]

It comes with a new crotch piece with waist swivel but I'm pretty sure the original parts could do that as well.

Rest of the set is parts to move the wheels lower on Long Haul's shins and random musical instruments that definitely aren't the same generic trumpets all of them used in the coronation.

I guess it's to mimic the Devastator head-mounted gun without the gun actually attaching to the head... maybe? That port's not there on a stock Devastator.

 

[Princess Viola]

people actually spend money on this jive

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I like what they did with the wheels. It's not more accurate, but it's still an improvement. Still, this is an underwhelming upgrade for an underwhelming Devastator.

Help me, MMC. You're my only hope.

 

[unluckiness]

Ahem.

 

[unluckiness]

I kind of like the idea of the aesthetic being a Horizon-esque take on G1 but it ended up looking like the Berserk Fury guest starring on Barney and Friends.

The fire-bra is damn awesome though.

 

[Destron D-69]

Is this from the set that combines?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Looks like the Cang Toys aesthetic. Very Zoids-meets-Gundam.

Thought about going for the smaller version of that set (mostly for being around a third of the price of the bigger ones), but every review I've seen of their products looks needlessly overcomplicated.
