Just cracked open Magmatron. Straight off the bat, a few things; 1. Im shocked to see he is packaged almost fully assembled into bot mode. Quite disappointing. The original was packaged with all 3 in Dino mode and I think that’s way more fun. When building any gestalt I even go so far as to save the head reveal for last whenever possible and it pisses me off when a combination forces you to do it early (Predaking comes to mind). Secondly the ‘new figure’ smell socked me in the face so hard I’m pretty sure I lost some brain cells.
With that out of the way, wow. He is the first legacy figure to make me say WOAH when I opened the box. If it wasn’t for the cardboard packaging you might mistake him for some type of masterpiece at first glance. He is very large and heavy and it’s the first time in ages I immediately felt like I got what I paid for. Even the manner he is packaged feels like it was given more care than usual. I just got finished falling in love with TM2 Megatron and my initial impression of Magamatron is the same but on crack.
