^ although he is able to swivel at the upper bicep, the elbow joint looks awful from the under side. He is missing a whole chunk. From the front the elbow bend joint looks fine but the back side is very unsightly. Guess I will not pose him in a way where the bottom of his elbow get visible.

Absolutely agree with the elbow, but I consider it a very minor thing compared to the whole package. The arm crossing pose is absolutely sinister!

How did they go from making something so cool with their Megatron to this Galvatron? I am not impress with the initial picture. Something is just odd with the proportions. Maybe that's the way it looks in the cartoon, I don't know. If I were to get a Galvatron, I probably go with UT Mania King.

Looks like XTB lost all of their mojo preparing for Appollyon  The entire proportion could be improved more, and IMHO, the head is too small. As supergetterv said, maybe XTB should just upscale Mania King with better material while improving the kinks in the mold. |

I think the guys who are making the new Rodimus should make a Galvatron.

This is more like it. This Scourge looks much better than the Galvatron posted a couple of days ago. |

There is seriously something "off" about that Galvatron. It looks like a custom that somebody built out of spare parts or something. Now that Scrouge looks great so far!

I see... Bad info.
Looked like a kind of early proto from the past...
Btw, the Rodimus is very nice but very detailed.

No worries, Lejam. DX9's Rodimus does look neat, but unfortunately for me I don't have any desire for a large Rodimus figure. I'd absolutely buy a smaller, MP Car sized Hot Rod, but I guess I'll have to keep waiting on that one  |

Apollyon looks might stable in that video and the ratchets sound nice. I do love a nice set of ratcheted hips (as long as the teeth aren't too broad, and from the look of the poses Apollyon has been rocking, that isn't a problem). Nothing else on him was wobbling, either.

Full video review
aside from the arms, there isn't much to worry about. The quality seems to be there and really looks like a good value, die-cast and lots of accessories.
A little side note, the reviewer used the term test shot which isn't right. This is a production sample. Xtransbot will use his feedback and fix the problem he has pointed out, likely to tighten up the shoulder ball joint and loosen the bicep rotation.
