Statue Prime 1: Transformers - Blackout

[The Chaver]

Only 6 payments for this. Might as well just save the money myself and do a plain preorder. Lol.

I have resisted the urge to get pieces in this line, but damn. This looks incredible.

Bumbles cute, but I want badass over cute :-(

Even though he didn?t speak or anything, had the most bad ass opening scene and design.

They stretched the payments back out on him too. I made 3 payments up front with the deposit. And the deposit PayPal let me break up into 4 bi weekly payments. So this was real easy on the wallet to preorder and get a good head start.

Agree, had no idea what the movie was going to be like, thought it would be along the lines of power rangers lol. Boy was I wrong, that first scene, complete destruction and absolutely brutal, just about wiped out the entire base and crew. I remember when blackout fired that last plasma like cannon disintegrating the soldiers before the screen literally blacking out. The packed cinema went silent, everyone was like W.T.F, we all knew it was going to be a good movie. These kind of permanent mind burning movie moments, doesn't happen often, but boy was it special.

Pre ordered this guy and Scorponok last night. It's going to be a long wait though.

 

[Dundee]

It'll be worth the wait. Could well be a one in generation type statue in the transformers line. Going to be epic.

 

[Asdf]

Once you get this guy, it seems like you also need to get the Last Megatron too... hahahaha

 

[Asdf]

THis will probably have a million pieces to assemble too like Optimus jet

Hopefully not as hectic as shockwave lol. Whoever survived putting that thing together without tearing a bicep deserves the matrix of leadership :-D

Yeah I got rid of mine.

Was way too big and weighed too too much. So much that I could tell he was starting to sag forward after just a year. His arms where starting to touch his legs and his legs were cocking back. All subtlety, but was enough to notice when taking it down and putting him back together. Things were obviously loosening up. Felt like it would be a major problem down the road.

The paint app wasn?t that great either.

This one doesn?t look as heavy. I think.. lol.

Just read the shockwave thread, didn't know you actually had one lol. Was cracking up when reading the part that you grabbed a beer and was done for the night putting the thing together...good times haha. It did look incredible once assembled, big presence.

So the shockwave statue started to cave in on itself? That's disappointing given the price of that piece, the arms and legs look sturdy but it must have weighed a ton. Do you recall how much it actually weighed? Both the statue and base?

I think blackout is a much more stout and dense design so probably safer as parts don't seem to extend outwards. The official weight is 29.2kgs, still heavy but nowhere as monstrous as shockwave I believe.

 

[Asdf]

Curious on just the dimension of the base alone? My current table is 65cm depth.

 

[Asdf]

Shockwave was 50kg if not wrong... Insane. The latest Megatron I assume base from picture is 69cm, which is tremendous space already. Shockwave was 1mtr, must have a huge table.

 

[Dundee]

That's really heavy, heavier than some life size statues. The parts must have been dense.

65cm table depth, think that should be enough for the statue to sit within the boundaries of the table, given its height.

Prime 1 Phase 1 Showcase:Blackout 360 view starts at 41:23 like Shockwave you will need a lot of Real-estate to display this monster.

Megaton is 69cm. Table 65cm is not big enough . I like the table to be a bit bigger than base.

 

[Phastroh]

Sucks about your Shockwave.

My paint looks amazing too.

I had to use a 2 3? round table tops I chalk painted black with custom 2?x2? cube in between base that glows purple with a large Decepticon logo. That gave me 1-2? around the base.

It?s reinforced with 2x4s but looks great.

The Blackout statue is about 4? shorter but far skinnier so it can?t be too bad.

I?m running out of room and my room is 20?x20? with high ceilings LOL gotta love them.

I?m torn between the Anniversary Prime and Blackout.
