There are tabs that will plug into the lower legs, just below the back of the knee. You have to open up the lower leg and swing them forward from under the knee joint. You can see the rectangular holes on the top/back of the calves where they will plug in from inside. TMreviews shows this much better than I can explain it. This will solidify his legs nicely. Looking forward to the versus, thanks!
I just got mine out of the box maybe ~10 minutes ago... and so far this seems accurate. For a toy with huge wings... This thing is a lot more solid than it has any business being. With the legs and backpack in correctly... This thing has the typical Fans Toys solidity. I haven't transformed it yet... but so far my only complaint is the target master is basically a throw away with this toy... But if you don't care about that, my initial impressions are that it's otherwise pretty great!
Just purchased this figure and Fracus, the targetmaster, comes with a repair kit to swap in a longer handle. The new problem is it’s easy to snap the post off when swapping handles. Also your leg problem is because there is a light blue piece under his knee that tabs into the slots on the back of the legs. This helps lock it in.
Targetmaster's name is Fracas. Amazing that there's nowhere to plug it into the top of the vehicle mode where it belongs - much less that he can't hold the thing.
Awesome review as usual. I was waiting for your opinion on this one! I so agree with you on the paint. It is stunning, a work of art. I don't even care about any of the annoying targetmasters, they usually go straight to my storage area. This will be a favorite for years to come. It far exceeds the X Transbots Andras, mostly because of the INEXCUSABLE folding foot/leg issues that make transforming Andras a nightmare.
Thanks for referring to the using the correct terminology when plugging in the gun on the bottom of the ship. Yes, I got excited to hear another transformers fan use the word magazine and not clip.
Like what someone said above. The legs lock securely. One of my copies wasn’t secure out of the box. Just had to align it, and close those two side tabs and it was solid as a rock
The only issue I have with it not holding together is in the back pack. And he was back heavy. I did something to the backpack after the second time I transformed him and it all collapsed better and fixed most of it.
What’s the likelihood they pack an adaptor/hand for the targetmaster with the black sound wave or tape pack? I wish they’d just go to the rail system instead of those palm tabs.
Other than the target master not pegging in, this thing is awesome! Target masters are too big anyway, but it's still very strange. Thanks for the review
If I could get it without the Target Master, it would be great, because I would not be using it anyway. He looks awesome in both modes, great weapon storage in vehicle mode, but looks a real challenge to transform though.
Why is fanstoys so allergic to giving flight stands. They give adapters. My Swoop has a flight stand, but my jetfire only has an adapter. They gave a flight stand for Astrotrain, but I bet its only because they could make it also railroad tracks. never paid attention but Cyclonus probably has an adapter too.
It looks great. Very premium which goes perfectly with Quietus and Sovereign. Not crazy about the Powermaster. Looks great in robot mode, but the weapon mode isn't great. But that seems par for the course with Powermasters. I won't be using it in weapon mode anyway. Bizarre that it doesn't fit in his hands.
He can hold the target master if you turn the hand 180, which is dumb. FT have said they will fix this. Its a stunning figure, feels like it was designed with cyclonus, the transformation has that same involved feel, not bad just a lot of steps.
Space slipper, space speed boat... whatever. I do think it's funny that Fracas is one of the few accurate looking target masters and simultaneously proves how dumb of a concept they were.
nICE PAINT ! targetmaster looks good better then X transbots targetmaster , but side by side I Think i like X transbots verson a bit more I really like the wings on it The Fanstoys wings look to bat like
Meh. I don't think it's really all that important. If you make the target masters scale with the headmasters you get guys that are too small. If you do it in the reverse then you get heads that are way too big. I'm fine the compromise we have. Most people display in bot mode which means the headmasters are probably wearing their heads which means they aren't standing next to the target masters.
Idk I’m just over the super intricate toy reviews n super elite toys … I love skully n only watch n keep my Patreon to super a man consider a spiritual brother … But i think I’m over all this
Funny you call him goofy looking. Between the wings, the claws and the goatee. I always thought he looked spooky and creepy. More Dracula looking than midwipe. A look FT pulled off quite well.
@@MythsAndHeroes fair enough. I'm just in pain cause I want him so badly, but because I have the x transbots painted version, I promised my wife that he was good enough. DAMN YOU FANS TOYS.
After watching this and years if the XTB one hanging round and looking at their prices, man, the most I care about Scrourge and the army building aspect of him I would just got with an upscaled KO of the Studioseries and be done with it. I realise I have little connection to him and he's more like a check box for my collection and. honestly speaking, a check box is not worth $100+ to fill. For me.
Not a very elegant transformation for such a simple alt mode. I have no doubt FT will win the versus, but it's a little unfair using the V1 Andras instead of the later improved and better painted ones. I think FT would win regardless, just saying. Like the awful feet transformation was completely fixed after the V1. The FT looks excellent in both modes, I'm just not crazy about that transformation.
It's kinda funny to see people refer to the transformation bits in his feet as heel spurs, that's not what those are and it looks terrible with them out.
masterpiece joys are genuinely incredible however i think i will always stick with chug due to the simple conversions and prices however masterpiece is always going to be objectively better
This would be an A1 figure if not for the crappy wings & the huge ugly backpack. If you could remove both from the main body of the figure & the 3D print film accurate wings & back then it would be close to perfect. Someone should try that.
The only Transformer with his nails did
🤣🤣
My weiner is going to look HUGE in his perfectly manicured hands.
@26:03 It looked so much simpler when Unicron put him together!
Empty Night. That's definitely a patience check.

That thing from that episode, they missed an opportunity to do the matrix poisoned face.
Excellent review! I know I'm reall diggin this fig. Can't wait to see what coming next from FT.

Also your leg problem is because there is a light blue piece under his knee that tabs into the slots on the back of the legs. This helps lock it in.
I would love if you can get an interview with one of Fanstoys "plastic origami" designers. If anyone can make a masterpiece Tetra jet, they can.
Targetmaster's name is Fracas.
Amazing that there's nowhere to plug it into the top of the vehicle mode where it belongs - much less that he can't hold the thing.
Luckily he can hold it now.
@@BingBong67489Are the newer batches coming with the fixed handle? I just bought one. Says it’s a newer batch.
Love it, can't wait to get mine. Actually have the FT and the XTB on the way. I love how both look.
I always appreciated his Mr Sinister looking face.
"... wow, wow, wait... it gets worse..." lough my heart out with that comment man!!!
Thanks Mr. Skullface.
Nice the best part of the video. Was when Bobby said put it on the shelf and forget about the rest of the nonsense.
Pretty much this
Great review. Fast toys saying they were going to send out an adapter for the Targetmaster to fit in the hands a little better.
Thanks Bobby. Now I can’t stop seeing Scourge in vehicle mode as a space slipper.
I keep thinking I want to own Fans Toys products, until I watch them being transformed.

My fav character!!! Cant wait. Could use the xtransbots fella as a sweep!
Thanks for referring to the using the correct terminology when plugging in the gun on the bottom of the ship. Yes, I got excited to hear another transformers fan use the word magazine and not clip.
Just got mine and noticed that the calf is not tabbing in because there are parts on the knee that need to flip out internally.
Space slipper works, but I always considered him a bar of soap.
Interested in the XTB comparison.
That "thigh" swivel on the arm looked a little tight! 🤣
Space boatt!!!

Looks amazing in both modes, but getting from one to the other - yeesh.
I think the only things That really hurt this is the large backpack, and the price. Looks pretty good, and I cant wait for the comparison video.
What’s the likelihood they pack an adaptor/hand for the targetmaster with the black sound wave or tape pack? I wish they’d just go to the rail system instead of those palm tabs.
Whoa, wouldn't expect Scourge to have such an involved transformation. Still, he sure look purdy.
If you kept it folded in, now you can just pull it out.
...so to speak
Can't wait to get mine.
I feel like on an official release, that back mess would be unacceptable
Cheers, Bobby!
Ft can’t afford a flight stand at 300?! Pass
There’s a tap slot connection at the top of the rear thigh. Do that and the legs will be more stable
Fanstoys said it is sending out an adapter for Fracus to fit in Scourges hand properly.
Beautiful Figure!!! Looks way better than X-Transbots figures for real!!!!
Other than the target master not pegging in, this thing is awesome! Target masters are too big anyway, but it's still very strange. Thanks for the review
I don't know how else I can say this. Fans Toys have lost their minds.
QC Agent 35 gave mine a pass but decided it was okay to ship it without his regular blaster
Ming the Merciless, Manni Peddi Emporium.

I hope your next Transformers rap is "If it's a flap, flip it. Flip it! Flip it!" 🎤😎
Bobby. Master of Flaps ;-)
It looks great. Very premium which goes perfectly with Quietus and Sovereign. Not crazy about the Powermaster. Looks great in robot mode, but the weapon mode isn't great. But that seems par for the course with Powermasters. I won't be using it in weapon mode anyway. Bizarre that it doesn't fit in his hands.
That's a lot for effort for a space submarine.
His Targetmaster - Fracas
For some reason the flipping flaps that need to be flipped. Is my favorite part of doing transformation.
He can hold the target master if you turn the hand 180, which is dumb. FT have said they will fix this. Its a stunning figure, feels like it was designed with cyclonus, the transformation has that same involved feel, not bad just a lot of steps.
Freakous!! Lol that’s the target master, I’m not sure if I spelled it right though
Space slipper, space speed boat... whatever. I do think it's funny that Fracas is one of the few accurate looking target masters and simultaneously proves how dumb of a concept they were.
nICE PAINT ! targetmaster looks good better then X transbots targetmaster , but side by side I Think i like X transbots verson a bit more I really like the wings on it The Fanstoys wings look to bat like
What's your goto galvatron, the blue or purple?
Why does nobody ever mention that Targetmasters are never in scale with Headmasters?
Good point, that’s never crossed my mind
Meh. I don't think it's really all that important. If you make the target masters scale with the headmasters you get guys that are too small. If you do it in the reverse then you get heads that are way too big. I'm fine the compromise we have. Most people display in bot mode which means the headmasters are probably wearing their heads which means they aren't standing next to the target masters.
I disagree. I think the guns would be the right size.
@@DrCalligari
Does anyone know if FT plans a -M version like Galvetron and Cyclonus? I’m starting to get serious FOMO but I also want the -M if one is coming.
Who knows at this point, but this is pretty much his movie colour scheme anyway.
Thanks dude

I only really say he looks goofy bc of his face

lol he said thigh swivel for the bicep
This video proves that I should never transform this figure!
Looks good!
Pretty!

I mention that specifically in the video. But with out them he is very back heavy
@@MythsAndHeroes yeah, I saw that and totally understand. Just funny to hear it being referred to as a spur.

23:37 is that Jar Jar?
What a fiddly goddam mess when transforming the fuselage. Seems totally unnecessary to have designed the engineering this way.
Wow. Fanstoys painted something you like? Crap... Ross Perot 1992. 🤣🤣🤔🤔
This is too much lol. Very complicated it seems. Cool looking figure but I'll pass
I cannot believe I am saying this, but I think X Transbots Andras holds together better than this.
And I dislike X Transbots products.
That backpack looks terrible. Easy pass
