Newage Seekers have them beat in my opinion.

So glad I went all in with NewAge on the seeker mold when they were first released. I get the feeling these were rushed out on the back of NewAge beating them to the punch, which is a shame as I love my other Magic Square guys...

The side chests aren't tabbed in securely. The tip of the nose cone needs to be slotted in a specific place, and it is not obvious at first. If the side chest is tabbed in correctly, it will not move when moving the arm.

The cockpit doesn't look straight in bot mode. They are straight if transformed properly.

Solid review, dude. This is tough...with something as good as Newage Seekers out there it makes these guys look like mech fans toys. Which is a shame. Not bad....but not great. 🤘😁🤘

The one thing that the Magic Square has over the Newage stuff is the price.

The word on the street is the Magic Squares price is only because they knew they got outclassed and lowered the price according. The MS designer was super pissed/depressed as they have a healthy rivalry going and have shared industry connections (dx9). MS was originally set as individual preorders but they made it cheaper and a 3 pack when it was clear NewAge had better bots.

@KatosKollection 4 жыл бұрын

@@TylerSilcox I haven't picked up a Newage or MS bot in a while in order to focus on reviewing more MP and IlSiege/Earthrise stuff. But the seekers are tempting.

@Anduril1974 2 жыл бұрын

Totally agree that NA has MS beat here, although I actually prefer the more cartoon accurate look of MS. Unfortunately thogh, having bought the NA seekers, I hated the loose hips which couldn't support the weight of the legs and, most importantly, as most of my collection transitioned to MS, they were just too short. So i've had to buy the MS ones, sell the NA ones, and now the scale works. Here's hoping for an MS v2.0 of these. I think given their incredible releases of late, they'd be spectacular!

The MS plastic makes starscream look really dull and lifeless.

@rugalheidbernstein9944 4 жыл бұрын

They would look so much better if they had better plastic and face sculpts.

@ndalum75 4 жыл бұрын

Got to say, I disagree on the jet proportions. The F-15 is a pretty wide plane when you look at it head on, similar to these. It even incorporates some of the side detail by the turbines of the F-15C, which MP-11 also included. By comparison the jet bodies on the New Age ones are way too slender. Now, some will naturally prefer a less accurate sculpt that's closer to the popular image of a jet, but that's just preference. And I'd have to agree, in robot mode these guys aren't as striking as the New Age ones.

I actually own a Thundercracker seeker from official Hasbro. Which brand seekers do you think I should get that matches? Better yet, should I get anything at all as I'm broke, no job, no income, and if I do get anything, it has to serve some kind of function.

it's really unfortunate that they have that many issues. usually ms hits it home but yeah this is a miss and there just aren't many stellar releases for these in legends sadly. if anyone has 1 that is a better option, hmu. I'm trying to find 1 to display with the new bruticus set ms is doing.

@brenoferreiraferreira4409 4 жыл бұрын

I like the clean look on the arms and legs in bot mode but the tolerances are bad, the figures look flimsy with the pegs and tabs coming undone, it's like you said Skullface they don't have a solid built, these are definitively the worst figures I've seen from MS. It's very hard not to compare them with the NA seekers, they came out at almost the same time but the truth is even without comparing them, these MS aren't a very solid release. I will wait for the comparison video to share my final opinion about these and how they stand up, or don't, to the NA seekers. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.

I read it was rushed out with the designer not happy with the end result and thought they shouldn't be released yet. I'm happy with the Newage seekers myself, those just look like a mess and to get all three at one time that's triple disappointment. Yikes

Yeah, this is awful. Even the DX9 Seekers (with that oddball transformation that has one arm as part of the jet fuselage) curbstomp this trash. I guess NewAge it is for me, then. Still need Seekers, Soundwave, & Shockwave to go with that Megs.

@JimmyHauser 4 жыл бұрын

I don't think I would call these unique. Half the design was taken from the DX9 seekers. The wings are almost exactly the same. The legs are very similar. And they look almost the same. I usually don't pass on deceptijets. But I am skipping these.
