Transformation video for 6Ti WW Grimlock

[Pascal]

Should have done it a couple weeks ago, but here it is anyway...

PROS

-nice robot mode, very G1-esque in robot mode despite the completely different alternate mode
-die-cast chest and legs
-paint apps are subtle but sharp and add a lot to the figure
-good poseability (head, multiple joints in the arms including wrists but arms can't be moved to the sides, waist, hips, thigh swivel, knees, knee swivel, feet/toes/heels)
-2 weapons, including the signature sword
-both weapons can be store in alternate mode

CONS

-a bit floppy in both modes because of the mix of die-cast with softer plastics
-questionable alternate mode
-like most other WW designs, semi-lame transformation
-I wish the chest would lock to the turret or at least click into position in alternate mode

Is there a way for the front treads to become just shoulder pads?

Got a vid of Prowl on the go?

I kind of wish they had skipped the diecast and just gone all plastic. Very cool figure, but the Titanium line just is just not my cup of tea.

Yes, but then it limits articulation and the entire upper arm disappear... is that how it's supposed to be?

[dak]

comic wise yea.

[Pascal]

Yes then, but shoulder pads touch the backpack and the forearms become hard to pose.
