Coming from the LEGO world, this seems like a good value for $50! And I love the color/texture consistency between materials - plastic and metal [all TLG has to do is make consistent colors with *one* material! and understand opacity, especially on minifigs, better]. Love the magnetic light feature - perhaps that's a way for TLG to keep their lights on hands free [M-Tron reborn?? ;) ]. I'm not a superfan of Transformers, but when I was a kid, I had a couple of them and watched the cartoon. This brings me back to those days, but as an adult. I am definitely going to visit their website [with your link]. As someone who's lacking time these days, this is the kinda "model" I have time to build [I do make exceptions for LEGO, but currently it's one build a month which is kinda depressing]. Looks like it would be very easy to assemble this and I'm blown away with the articulation. Guess I spend too much time with LEGO mechs/watching LEGO mech reviews. :)
Just saw your Lego ornithopter review and found this channel. Love it. I grew up watching the Transformers. I remember as a kid watching Megatron transform into a gun in the 1986 movie and blow away half the Autobots and my jaw hit the floor. No way you could do that now. Guess back in the day kids were ‘made of sterner stuff’.
Since it is a legally licensed product, this is a good deal for $50. There are actual metal parts. At this point, small figures from Hasbro are easily $30, granted, they do transform; so, there are more moving parts.
I was not expecting the electronics with the magnetic switch. That's premium. Looking forward to getting in on AMK Pro's G1 product to represent the new Skybound comics.

It's good to know you're still around:)
Awesome review Jang! Great to see some Transformers representation 😆🫶
Most impressive. It looks well made. I really like the finish on the kit.
I really like the weathering and eye lighting

Amazing jang doing transformers

Never thought I’d see Jang do a transformers video but I’m all for it!
That being said, I need a price to part ratio to be sure it’s a good deal lol
Model kit (buildable figure?) with diecast metal is an interesting concept. I wonder if there are more like that. (Kinda new to model kits)
MEGATRON!!!!!!111
NERD!! Awesom
