Nice playset but I hope it gets painted orange like in the shows. Looks to be in scale with Classics and G1 Transformers. www.igear.tf08.net/?p=107

Paint it orange. Someone should recreate the scene from G1 when they land on Earth.

Nah it doesn't come with any kind of electronics and I'm still not sure if that's the final color or not. It could still be orange when it comes to a production version. Yeah that paper craft version is nice plus you can vary the size to fit whatever Transformers you want to display.

Hi all, here's a quick look at the Igear Tf-007 Computer Control Center (Autobot Headquarters). Outer freight box Inner main box The box is pretty big, measures 16x12x9.5 Inches (roughly the size of a cement hollow block/cinder block. Weighs roughly 3 kilos according to the box. A whole bunch of parts and panels and one sticker sheet! Note: Instructions NOT included! You have to go online for the instructions. Go here for the online assembly manual and sticker guide. www.igeartoys.com/?p=107When fully assembled the whole thing spans about 29x10x10 Inches. BE WARNED! Assembly will test your patience! The designers did a crappy job of "locking" the panels. So expect the walls to crumble at the slightest tap on one of the sides. I recommend using tape (3M Magic tape to avoid long term tape marks) if you want to go at it without stressing yourself silly. Stickers applied Makes a world of difference. If you're good at electrical wiring and using LEDs (Light Emiting Diode), you can make the computer screens light up as the screens are clear plastic and light does get through (even with the stickers on). The Autobots move into their "home". Repair bay with articulated servo arm. The relatively small floor area might be a problem. Using orange colored art paper will help "expand" the area a bit. Likewise, moving or reducing some of "Teletran 1" would make up some more space. Teletran 1 and the computer modules aren't bolted down or anything, they just sorta "sit" there. For those curious, yes the set also works with G1 Autobots. Again, you can move around the pieces if you wish to recreate the Optimus Prime death scene from the Movie. (Hehe, sorry I didn't have time to open up the characters needed for that scene but you get the idea. ) Well... it's a good set, not great due to the terrible, terrible locking mechanism for the wall panels (or lack thereof). Just be ready with your 3M magic tape when you've had enough of trying to build it as is. But when it comes together it really looks great as a diorama for your Autobots. Personally I am still excited for the Nemesis (Decepticon Headquarters) Igear will be releasing later on. I just really hope they put more thought into the design structure. Gold

Nice review! I wonder if the MP's would look good in this set especially the upcoming mini MP Prime.

Heh, Gold's idea of a "quick look" is rather lengthy. Thanks for the pics, you seem to eccho a lot of other peoples issues with this set, particularly the poor fastening. MPs are much too large for this set, Prime and Megs would be pretty close to sticking their heads over it. The custom mini-MPs would probably be fine, though. I've also seen people use this with their DC and Marvel figures. Batman looks right at home messing with the equipment. Emerje

Thanks Chen, Jay 27. I think the Mini-Mps are perfect for this set (based on a few pics I've seen). Hehe thanks Emerje. By quick look I meant I won't go into the "good, bad and ugly" detailed text review. Gold
