Dec 15 - Omega Supreme played by WeiJiang Ultima Guard

Uh oh looks like we have another duplicate. Originally I was going to pass on this but I just don’t want to wait for the Hasbro version as I had originally planned to. When I factor in the rise in price of the Titan Class figures I would have paid the same at full price with tax as I did with this so for now I can live with that decision. If it turns out that Hasbro’s is absolutely amazing then I may consider selling this but the first time I saw the “Doc” bot I knew I wanted at least that but with two of them now I’m sure one will have to go as I would have 0 use for two of these, although I may shove one in with the YOTS Omega Supreme. Nope that won’t work as “Bones” is too big and speaking of which since I had such a hard time with yesterday’s figure this guy’s base mode is just getting shot on the floor, especially since my son really wants to see the tank go around the track, so the base mode pics will be a bit more aerial. Maybe one day I’ll get out Metroplex, Fort Max and all the other Autobot bases out for a pic assuming I can fit them in.

Now as far as the figure goes nothing different from his predecessor (well the one I opened yesterday) except for colouring and for the most part. Since he arrived almost 2 weeks later and my car has been off the road since end of October I had little trouble getting this guy in the truck to get home. The Doc is a little bit different as with this one, the red circle on his chest is translucent but with the other one it’s a solid red. The box also, I’m assuming, was just done as a mass print as the list of contents said it had an extra face but there wasn’t one in the box but I wasn’t expecting it anyway. For a bit more on the figure he is skinnier than the FT or DX9 versions, has a lot more detail than either of them and the tank is a joke by comparison size wise. Regardless it’s not like I’m going to display it in base mode permanently and the bot mode is honestly good enough for me.

One thing to be said is my back was killing me after the shoot only because of how heavy he is and the strength of the ratchets. It took a lot of work just to get those poses and they aren’t super dynamic. One thing I’m going to do to him is remove some of the tracks as it folds up like 5 or 6 times so I will take out whatever I need to and just leave two on each side so I can push them a little further into the corners. My goal is to have 1 in each corner and Zeta Superion in the middle but even with these “OS” Detolfs I fear they may not be big enough but I will find out soon enough I guess. I’m just hoping that the shelf he ends up on can support the weight because there are some heavy Items on it (FT Phoenix and all 5 FT Dinos). I arranged that cabinet in season order originally but I think for the interest of safety the big guys are going to have to go on the bottom shelf as its solid wood instead of glass.

Hopefully Jinbao will finish off the OS Gravity Builder so Omega and Devy can go head to head and toe to toe. See ya tomorrow.
