Nice vid saying it like its, I like it. It's a shame XTB could be great, but it's like they get to a point where lose interest think oh well it's good enough just send it out, I'd wish they stop with car inside too!
@@ddp1863 thanks… X-Transbots does a great job sculpting their figures and capturing the toon aesthetics… but I think they are try too hard to make their figures do more than what is needed… as a consequence… their figures usually have many issue, unfortunately… It’s been decades now… and they still over complicate their aspirations… but… still hoping that they will keep things SIMPLE… then maybe their figure will be as great as they look…
@@streakshooter918 I agree, just seen there 1st Aid - and they've shoed horned a interior in that 😑. I think there Inferno was quite good it was simple, soild, and did the job, but there was still reports issuse with paint and ladder braking on few, but didnt seem to be wide spread. But in the same breath I think was an old design they got around to finsihing!
@ddp1863 @ddp1863 I saw their First Aid figure too… and… I have lots to say but I’ll have to wait until I get it… I’m starting feel for XTB… because I can see they they are trying to produce great figures… by adding more parts / features that are not really needed… Consequently, those ambitions comes with costs… and because they are trying to proso many figure… its taking a long time… but at least we are finally getting another member of the Protectobots… I heard that Inferno was made well, not sure cause I didn’t get it… but for me… it’s not toon accurate so I passed - happy with Takara… I guess all we can do is just look forward to the release of their nice looking figures… and continue to hope they simply their designs… with better engineering…
@@streakshooter918 Totally understand I really wish XTB would just get it together, they be could great with few tweaks here and there. Its great how they give us the less popular figures to add to our collections, competition is a good a thing in the MP space. Look forward to your video on 1st aid :D!
Hot Spot was the only MP that made my top 10 list this year. i would have put Long Haul on it, but i broke it transforming it (does not effect the bot mode) the Brawl was edged off the list. the Swindle looks great, but i hate the transformation
Interesting line up you have… The great thing is that everyone has their own choices / preferences… that we should all respect… For me, I do like Hot Spot… but articulating into a dynamic pose is challenging / frustrating for me because of the feet… but it is still a very nice looking figure… and looks awesome with the other Protectobots… Just one more to complete our set… and it will be FANTASTIC… Sorry about your Long Haul… but good thing the robot mode is not affected… Brawl and Swindle… do have issues… but I do like the “Hyper-Toon” aesthetics… I’m looking forward to completing the set next year… Wishing you a Happy New Year Chris! May it be a wonderful transforming year for all of us…

I’m starting feel for XTB… because I can see they they are trying to produce great figures… by adding more parts / features that are not really needed…
Consequently, those ambitions comes with costs… and because they are trying to proso many figure… its taking a long time… but at least we are finally getting another member of the Protectobots…
