It took me long enough, but I finally managed to get my hands on one.

He's absolutely stunning.

Man those Diaclone Dinobots are so pretty. Matches super well.

It took some hunting to find all five dinos at a price I wanted to pay, but I am quite happy with my Diaclone collection

Nice!

Works pretty well.

Glad they did this figure, he's really good and FT took forever to tease something that won't even end up being produced. I liked that design, not sure why it was scraped.

I just looked back a couple of pages…LLSmoothJ has a picture of the shoulder part that comes off…on my browser it's on page 17.
Here is Delta with Siege Jetfire…being that these should be "pre-earth" figures, I think they fit well together
carry on…

Sorry to hear that. My Delta feels better than Metallic Striker and Striker Noir, and closer to the OG Striker
what removable shoulder part?

Just received my Delta Manus yesterday…decided to give it a go after needing to buy something to get my new X2 Toys Skycrusher head delivered. Man this thing looks good!…but, it doesn't feel as "put together" as my Striker Noir. I never got a hold of the KO Striker Manus that had come out, but this FEELS like a KO version of my Striker Noir. I really can't put my finger on it…it just doesn't transform as easily, has gaps in places my Noir doesn't and even has a removable shoulder part that I didn't know was removable on it…in the end, I feel it should have been $10 less, maybe…but that Blue and Gold is SWEET!
carry on…

This guy is my first Maketoys figure. I was initially very uninterested in yet another Optimus, but the articulation ended up tempting me to want to experience it and the Noir colors tempted me most until Delta Manus showed up and then I saw he was actually in stock. Some of his joints are tight to the point that they're actually painful to get to move (mostly the front bumper/wheel sections, MAN those hurt unless I get some cloth to protect my fingers) but he's a gorgeous figure. Scourge/Nemesis is my go to Prime color scheme lately, but damn if I haven't found my ideal heroic colors for the big bot now!
I wish Maketoys did some accessory packs separately. Would love to be able to give him more accessories but his hands seem a bit too small for standard 5mm stuff.
Victorysabre
Thanks! Yeah, I don't think they'd work as well as I'd want them to. I could get over the aesthetic differences, but the size just doesn't work for me.

@Victorysabre they are very off, both in scale and aesthetic.
Unrelated/related, this is my first experience with both molds, been pleasantly surprised by them. Delta Manus looks great and the figure is a lot easier to transform than I expected – I was expected a lot of the fiddly bits and sharp edges I've come to expect from other MT figures and instead got a figure that really pays tribute to the Classics Prime while being slightly more complicated and much more poseable. I definitely see why everyone like him so much!
Victorysabre
I'd appreciate that. Thanks
Strike Creamsicle
@Victorysabre I've got a Bounceback on order – if there hasn't been a response by the time I get mine I'll post a pic for you.
Victorysabre
Anybody happen to have Delta Manus (or Striker or Noir) and any of the following figures:
MMC Sphinx
Maketoys Bounceback or Downbeat
FP LER Volar
I know that Sphinx and Bounceback are MP scaled and Manus is essentially Classics, but I'm wondering how far off they look next to each other.

If your looking for that ankle tilt I saw a shop on shapeways that sells a ankle tilt kits for the classics mold.
Thanks I'm not a problem at paint but I though I did pretty good.
MasterScale
Looks great! *little off topic* really wish that particular Classics mold would get updated (at voyager scale) to include ankle tilt. And less forearm kibble.
