Via a post in TF Upgrader Network we have a look at the color prototype of X-Transbots MX-11 Locke (Masterpiece Scale G1 Kup) color prototype.
This is an impressive cartoon-accurate take on the Autobot old-timer warrior. The new images reveal a nice alt mode with a highly posable robot mode. All packed with a nice set of accessories: Targetmasters partners, laser gun, a Sharkticon tail whip, and 4 interchangeable faces (one with a Cy-gar). A very nice alternative for your G1 Masterpiece collection.

I've got an V2 which I'm happy to part with (mint in box). I'm in the UK; if anyone is interested drop me a message.
Sensible offers of course please.
Ironhide 86
Yes. Your right. Thank you.

You might want to redefine that 'friendship' going forwards.
Ironhide 86
I bought it used off of a friend for 40 bucks. I am sure he's had it since it first came out. I already ordered a new version 2. Thank you ,though.

You can try emailing XTB and tell em of your predicament.
Share with their customer service with pix of your V.1 Locke. If you're in luck and their factory still have stocks for the second version, they might just request you to pay for the shipping that's all.
That's how I got my Ver.2 Locke from XTB.
Ironhide 86
Ok. Thanks.
rendsora
Please avoid transforming the first version at all cost.
Edit: But if you insist on doing it.. please do watch a video for it.
Ironhide 86
Oh. It is the 1st version. Thanks. I will buy the 2nd version. It makes sense now. He sold it to me for really cheap. I will leave it in alt mode and have the new one in bot mode.
rendsora
Is yours the first version or the fixed 2.0 version?
Ironhide 86
A friend sold me XTB Locke used, the pin that connects the top half by a pin is the only part that connects the top to the bottom. There is nothing snapping the back in place. Was there something to snap the back into place new out of box or was it a pez despencer straight out of the box?

Glad you like it, overall it's a great sculpt in both modes!
IIRC the thighs chip, I clear – coated mine and so far they've held up. (Possibly the knees too, hopefully other members will chime in)

Got my Locke. Haven't transformed him yet and in no hurry to. Targetmasters are weak. Paint, joints and possibility are all great. There are some clear plastic covers over the knees. Is that a paint chipping area? View attachment 30230589 View attachment 30230590 View attachment 30230591 View attachment 30230592 View attachment 30230593

Well, you made it there and back without breaking it, or it breaking so you're part of the elite! Lol.

Well I’ve transformed Locke… for context, I like FT Parkour, I can do FT Jabber from memory and I find Commander Stack easy, but this is awful.
He looks great in both modes and the materials feel good and nothing ever felt like it was going to break, but I don’t think I’ll ever want to transform him again.
I do like him in general and I’m happy I got him to fill the Kup space on my Movie shelf, but this is by far the most frustrating transformation (specifically Alt to bot mode) that I’ve ever done.
Anyway, pics:

It's very much a parody of both politics and religion. And the 'joke' in there is basically how similar groups can be, to the point people don't even know which one they're actually in – yet both groups seem to be different enough to exist in the first place…
Curium
Thank you, that should be safe then. It sounded like politics or religion or both, but a parody should be fine, and being Monty Python I would have actual expectations of it.

It's from Monty Python

Actually I just squeezed the seller out of my mother lol. Some thrifter online acquired a handful of them and is selling them at $18 plus shipping. I actually don't feel bad now if I mess this guy up while trying to 'repair/fix' him.
Curium
No idea since I've never heard of either, but seems like something I probably don't want in my search history.
