TFX-01 City Commander Upgrade Parts
Alt ModeThis is freaking huge. I like this garage kit in this form. The only visible armor parts is the Legs and chest armor. I should have gotten two if i know that this will be this good. The back panel can be open but cannot fit Classic TF toys inside. The only problem in this toy is that it cannot swivel from left to right or vice versa since its too close to the truck with no way of moving. The thing is, the wheels are glides smoothly and is very similar to the Classic Magnus' wheels.
TransformationLittle Magnus
Form feet and legs!!!
Form arm and shoulder?!! Wat da?
And i'll form the HEAD!!! and body and guns
Transformation from Trailer to Armor parts are easy, the problem is attaching to Magnus itself. The leg armor parts are troublesome since you need some force to attached it, but it hold on and the plastic quality is good. Other than that, the armor parts slips on easy with little force.
Head ShotsThe head is done very superb. A nice mold and replica of Ultramagnus. The paint job is done magnificently. the head is only limited to movements in 180 degrees turning (though i did not do 360 since it might break). Too bad i cant look up or down.
Body ShotsThe arm articulation becomes limited with this post
Arm is too long and have reach beyond the knee
The white part is painted and not white plastic
The waist armor is blocks the articulation which can limit the movement of the kit.
The feet has some nice features for articulation purposes
WeaponsThis is freaking big gun which was the side of the Alt mode
The original weapon can be attached to the Magnu upgrade arm
Unless your Magnus is fresh from the box, i doubt you can do this shot since the Armor in the arms and the weapon itself is heavy. even i cannot recreate this shot.
Comparison with Optimus Prime
Who is little now? huh? HUH? HUH!!!
Split, Sit, and Kick TestThis test was all past by the Classic OP and UM, but with the armor parts is on...just take a look ;D
This was very hard to balance, but nevertheless it still past the test
All viewsFun ShotsMagnus: Leave now and never come back.
Gilvy: Eat this you bootleg scam!!!
Magnus: Im a Garage kit! GARAGE KIT!!!
Rod: ZOOOOOM!!!
Comics ManualThe comics itself is the manual for this toy with some interesting story. Click image for larger images. Large Image, beware.
VerdictEven this is a bootleg (Magnus: GARAGE KIT!!!) err garage kit, this one is very nice indeed. Never before that UM has receive this treatment of making his trailer become his armor and replicates his G1 looks. If your a diehard fan and doesn't mind if this is a garage kit or not, this one will certainly be a good addition to your classic TF collection. If you a the money (freaking 3750php), why not get it? hehe ;D ;D ;D
