There is more than meets the mainline release for the Transformers Age Of The Primes Superion combiner as the DK-77 SUPER ION upgrades make these jets fly higher than before. Thanks to @928_Toys_Laboratory we have some new in-hand images of the full upgraded Arielbots team that really makes a difference from the better proportions to improved atticulation to more detailed parts. Read on to see the DNA Design Upgraded AOTP Superion with translated notes below.
DNA Design's Fearless Accessory Pack Quick Review: DNA Design's accessory pack for AOTP Superion is an essential item for correcting the shortcomings of the official design. This accessory pack is quite substantial, but its primary function is, of course, to improve body proportions. By adding height to the calves and new foot components, it increases height by 3cm, solving the problem of the lower limbs appearing too short and visually thin after official combination. A pair of enlarged, articulated fists and a weapon attachment also greatly improve the visual balance. The new chest armor is more faithful to the G1 design, and players can choose their own options. DNA has also created a new head for Superion, with options for a mask or a face that exposes the mouth. The space inside the skull can accommodate a 7.5mm magnetic light; it's worth trying.
Really wish those leg bots sat further into the lower legs more so that only the jet parts are shown behind the legs. Since you have to fold the jet bits onto the tops of the jets and then that entire chunk gets plugged in, it make the lower legs look really stupid. Menasor doesn't have that problem since the cars not only have lower profiles to begin with, the front ends that do flip up end up filling in the look of the feet overall.
It looks like Superion does not have ankle tilts. Can anyone confirm?
All these Aerialbots look like garbage. It's like Hasbro is not even trying. Or at least they are trying to rip us off.
I'm dissapointed that they are recycling Motor Master's trailer junk for the limbs. The least they could have done was update those fixed fists.....this is so frustrating.
Also, for anyone that buys this set, it should come with a Breakdown to make up for those of us that got screwed over due to its lack of availability. It's like selling a car without a steering wheel....I'm so frustrated with Hasbro.
Everything looks great. But is it just me, or does Air raids wings look a little stubby.
Ok, I have two gripes that keep coming up.
1) why do autobot commander class figures include blast effects but not the decepticon ones? ( I really like the blast effects and they should be a pack in with all figure scales considering how much we pay now. they have a nice variety to include and use).
2) why do some figures have wrist articulation and some do not and why do some voyager figures have finger articulation but they can't add that to the combiner figures?
Besides that, superion looks great. The individual bots...we shall see when they arrive in hand.
