X-Transbots Weibo have shared images of their MX Gravestone (Masterpiece Scale G1 Motormaster) prototype for your viewing pleasure.
This is the last component of X-Transbots Monolith, their take on G1 Menasor. Gravestone looks fairly cartoon-accurate while taking some changes on the body. We think this could be due to the combiner mode. The images show it as a highly poseable figure and it will sure please fans who are collecting this Stunticon group. According to the comparisons images, Gravestone is a bit taller than MP-10 Optimus Prime and other X-Transbots Stunticons.
We are yet to see images of the full colored mold and the alt and combiner mode. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

hadn't seen that posted here before, maybe i missed it but this was a first time i'd seen it posted here on a youth version. also in that video…that break looks different from what we normally see? i'm a little bit doubting what i'm seeing there as that guy had another broken part as well and seems to go out of his way to show how bad the rest of it is. theres quite some effort there to make the lower half seem bad too, or he is just ham handed? don't know. that being said that puts the count up to 2. i don't watch this thread as religiously as i did years ago but i check in at least a couple times a week and read back…so i don't know how well or poorly the youth version sold but if he sold even 1/10th of the normal version and was just as bad we'd have seen more breaks reported here by now. i'm going to assume it was a bit better but not completely. i think assigning the cause of the low level of reports here to JUST lower sales might be off. that said, my original toon one is still without breaks at the moment and my youth version is still ok too. i'll see if my backup (well i was gonna use it as a limb instead of alt or bot) copy i just ordered is ok or not.

This one might help too:

You're a lifesaver! Thank you kind sir.

Any videos on how to transform from combiner to trailer?

I believe that the youth version is supposedly less prone to breakage that Toon, but not immune. I don't think any g2 versions have had a problem though. I'm thinking yellow plastic is the issue here…

Guess Keith still hasn't bothered to address the engineering or materials issues that result in so many breakages. Sorry for your loss.

First?
It's more likely the Youth version has not been selling really well, hence very few people have had it in hand to complain about it.

First report of this on gouth version. Wonder if these cheaper ones are an unauthirized run. Or legit. Thing is i trust xtb more thsn tfsource. Lol. Please let tgis be isolated. I ordered a backup dragstriip from tfs just today. Lol

TFSource has really gone downhill then (I mean, other than the whole scalper-y stuff of more recent years). I remember back when they used to be good, and would advertise their "bulletproof" packaging. They'd shrinkwrap all your stuff between two extra sheets of sturdy cardboard just to make sure nothing would get bumped around and bent in the box, and everything arrived immaculately.

My Youth Dragstrip just broke on the very first transformation. Where? Where else? Man that plastics on the shoulders might as well be cheese. I now fear for my G2 version.

Dude i feel ya. Had my trailer, dr egg, and ironwill shipped from tfsource a couple wks ago. They were just thrown in the box with some brown paper packing and thats it. Ironwill was dented but the other 2 were ok. Still irked me bc i had just gotten flipout from showz the day before. That little guy was in a box with bubble wrap around it inside of another box. Id be pissed if it was the youth versions and they folded the top. Man thats walmart level bs there.

One of the things that I like about the Youth Stunticons set is the packaging of each individual member. It's therefore frustrating to see TFSource shipping my Youth Dragstrip with the upper flap folded down. Now I have an ugly crease at the back of the box. I bought the other 4 Youth bots from Baba, and he took care to make sure that the boxes arrived to me in pristine condition, although he shipped them from China.
F'in TFSource.
nomolos
Hahaha.

You, Sir, are a truly both gentleman and scholar.
Although all this membership will do is help me justify double-dipping for the youth versions (which I had previously held of from indulging in), because 2% off is clearly all it takes for me to convince myself…
sdmacleod
Ugh, TFS. Always better to order from China.
Take whatever the listed price is from BBTS or TFS, and double it. After cross-border shipping, taxes, and brokerage, that's the Canadian $ value I'll pay in the end.
No, ordering from the US is out.

UK folks, Omegalock just launched a £9.99 pa membership that gives 2% off everything and exclusive stuff.
But they just made it a no brainer for toy version guys

So far I've spend about 210 on my second set and that's all 4 limbs.

that's what I meant by waiting til they were on sale, buy the two that are on sale now and wait for the others to come up. can get Overheat for $45 and Crackup for $50 from TFS, cheapest I could find Flipout was $68 from Show Z. I think there will probably be another round of sales on these and probably MM and Deathwish around Black Friday for the Christmas sale season, so might not be able to get them all on sale at the same time. But if you can pick and choose I think you (a general you, not a you,you) should be able to get them all for a decent price since I don't think there is as much want for the toy versions as there is for the original set.
