Revenge of the Fallen Stratosphere- Review Plus! Bonus Mini-Prime Review!

WHY doesnt he come with that kickass shuttle gun?

 

 

Yah, I'm kinda curious about that too. Not that I will be buying this figure or anything however, all the preliminary photos of this guy showed him with that shuttle gun thingy? That would make this figure rock a bit more. The orange arms are just too much for me on this guy as well as the weirdo pontoon feet. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of WTF? Transformers to date like Armada Smokescreen or that Shockwave satellite thing from Energon. Whoever said something about the wings needing to be repositioned is right on top of things with this guy. We have seen some pretty kick ass figures come out recently(last couple of years recently) but this guy is too much. Ender, I think y'r rating on this guy is a bit high! Otherwise, good review.

Thanks!

 

Yeah, I was a bit torn on his score. His play value is much higher than his collectible value and then there is the mini Prime to factor in, who while kinda crappy in design is huge fun just for his tininess.

 

It was a tough call, but I tend to lean kind in the score and word harsh in the review.

This guy looks more like RiD and energon than a movie transformer

Kudos to Ender for killing that review. In the box pics, some witty entertaining comments and the transformation .gif is pure genius. Way to go buddy!

 

As for my opinion of Stratosphere himself, he looks nifty but I dunno if Ill end up getting him. I love his size and I chuckle at his ability to poop out WSTs. Here's to hoping he gets an Astrotrain repaint lol. As for the shuttle gun he was supposed to come with, I'd say a KO might come with one *keeps on the look out*

I've got him and he's a great figure. Other than the huge pontoon feet he's got some good lines and he poses really well.

 

But I have to think Takara designers were looking back at some of their old Brave molds-this guy just begs to be repainted at Fire Dagwon from Brave Command Dagwon. And as the kicker recolor Prime as Fire En!

 

:yay

 

We need more Brave homage toys in the TF lines if Takara's not going to bring the molds over for use in the US.

As much as I am trying not to, I am liking this guy. A little gunmetal and battleship gray paint to those arms and tan upper legs, and he's a winner IMO. I can ignore the ugly feet too, although a hinge that brought them together a bit to fill the gap and tighten them up would have been nice...

is it just me or do most/all of the figures not based off of a cgi design/character from the movie really lack imagination and movie aesthetic?

 

I don't know about imagination, but off screen movie figures tend to stick out like sore thumbs.

fix'd & yeah... :agree
