Fans think
That selling point of "Transformers 7", what is it?
It's a super warrior.
Right?
That's why this film is called "Rise of the Super Warriors"
I often say that the Mighty Warriors rise, and there's a secret to that term.
Rise of the Super Warriors, Rise... Has it risen?
Has it really risen?
In the end, did it get up?
I said rise, did it really rise?
Look at it, is it up?
In fact, when I first learned that "Transformers 7" was going to introduce the concept of Super Warriors, I had a hunch that this film might be a smash. Why? Because after the collapse of "Transformers 5", the entire IP is still in a state of ruin. The success of Bumblebee only opens a fragile new start to this new rebooted universe. How much damage did the Cybertron War cause to the Autobots? How did the Autobots rebuild trust with the human military after being deceived by smashing the bounce ball? How will the Decepticons deal with Optimus Prime's escape? Where is Megatron? What will be the attitude of the Autobots, Decepticons, and humans to compete for the universe again?
These questions are all unresolved, but the officials insist on introducing a new concept of Super Warriors. To put it bluntly, it's just to get bad money, and it doesn't have to be washed. simply wanted to use the IP and novelty of the Super Warriors to continue to squeeze the last bit of residual value of the IP among fans, but he didn't expect that the story of Transformers would be added to a new IP without understanding it, which would make the original fragile story line even more messy. And the result of this movie is as expected, sparse. The giants have been reduced to a background board, the Optimus Prime character has collapsed, and the Decepticons and Primordial Beasts don't even deserve to have a camera. I'm afraid that the only ones who really rise are the two right human protagonists.
That's why I'm going to share the main character today: the Yellow Panther Warriors of the AMK series produced by YOLOPARK, whose performance in the movie I have completely forgotten. In order to write a review, I also reviewed the movie specifically, and then came to the conclusion that this guy really didn't do anything in the movie, most of the shots are still in the form of beasts, and there is not even a frontal close-up in the humanoid state, and as for the hapless rhinoceros warrior, there are not even a few shots. They can still have such a high popularity, maybe it can really only come from the unremitting love of fans.
(This is the only slightly clearer frontal shot I can take in the movie.)
So let's get down to business, let's take a look at this Yellow Panther Warrior. The cover of the box is still the same as the AMK series. On the front are drawings of the two forms, with product names, manufacturers and series numbers, while on the back are drawings of the toys, assembly instructions and close-ups.
List of inner packs. Due to the limitations of size and details, the number of parts of this Yellow Panther Warrior is significantly less than that of the two excellent predecessors of the AMK series, Captain Orangutan and Scourge. However, it is worth mentioning that perhaps YOLOPARK officials also realized that this guy is definitely not as popular as the main characters with a lot of shots, so the Yellow Panther Warrior's set comes with a weapon attachment from the previous AMK Hornet as an additional selling point. It is said that later Rhino Warriors will also come with Optimus Prime's weapons.
Since I really can't see what the Yellow Panther Warrior's human form looks like in the movie, (there are so few shots that it's all in the background), I'm not sure how reproducible this Yellow Panther Warrior is. However, the beauty is still very high, and the figure is very slender and straight, even in the humanoid state, the alertness and sharpness that are unique to felines are not bad at all. Unlike the animated version of the Yellow Panther Warrior, the Yellow Panther in the movie does not have a leopard head on his chest in human form, but it does not affect fans who can recognize his identity at a glance.
Due to the freedom from the setting of mechanical vehicles, the body lines of the super warriors in the movie are significantly softer than those of the Transformers, and they have both a sense of mechanical detail and the naturalness of creatures. The toy is also very wonderful at this point, with Captain Gorilla's Zhuyu in front, this Yellow Panther Warrior is not as amazing as its predecessor, but it is also very remarkable. His feline agility and strength are unstoppable. The spikes in the shape of leopard claws at the ends of its limbs are full of danger and fierceness.
There is a slight fur-like depiction on the back of his shoulders, which I think is slightly inferior to Captain Orangutan's fur presentation in terms of detail and cutouts.
The metal muscle lines on the sides of the body are even more pronounced, and I really like the metallic and bio-dry design.
The details of the head sculpture are very good, but it is a pity that it does not make a movable mouth like a natural disaster. The green eyes highlight its status as a super warrior. I feel that this eyebrow is a little thicker, which affects the aesthetics, but again, I can't see what it looks like in the movie at all, so it's not good to evaluate the reductiveness, at least according to YOLOPARK's cover drawing, it's still very reductive.
The details of the upper body are as good as ever, which is also YOLOPARK's strong point. The details composed of a large number of color separations, hollowing, and stacking of pieces are definitely far beyond the detailed effects made by relief alone. As a toy that is less than half a sheet, it is really very conscientious. The Big Mac logo on its chest confirms its identity. This sign is very detailed, and it is much better than those on the Scourge. The only fly in the ointment is the leopard print livery. The color of the Yellow Panther Warrior in the movie is similar to the brownish yellow of the SS toy, rather than the bright yellow of Bumblebee. The overly bright background color makes the leopard print on the body particularly obvious, and it looks like a pockmarked child, which is a little afraid of affecting the appearance. If the background color is darker, it is estimated that it will be much better in terms of restoration and visual effect, which is really a pity.
The arm can see a large number of metal mechanical details such as hydraulic rods and gears under the animal's bionic skin. It feels like the super warriors in the movie actually seem to be more like a metal variant in terms of setting.
It's time for my favorite part: the mechanical spine portrayal. This back portrayal is naturally nothing to say, it's really handsome. In addition to the spine, there are plenty of hydraulic rod details on the back. However, this time, the mechanical details are not separated, and the sense of hierarchy is slightly inferior, which is really a pity for such an excellent mold portrayal.
The color separation of the lower body is significantly better than that of the upper body. The gun-iron skeleton is combined with the silver armor and yellow fur, as if you can feel the machinery under the fur and armor in motion.
I personally like the details on the side, and the feeling of the metal muscles and mechanical parts is really powerful.
In terms of accessories, the fishbone spear used by the Yellow Panther Warriors in the movie, as well as the four pairs of replacement hands, are included. The fishbone gun is made into a two-stage style similar to Captain Orangutan Twin Knife, which is easy to hold and carry, and is conducive to more poses. There's not much to say about the replacement hand, and the only one in the AMK series who has a hands-on award is Catastrophe (who made him have one less finger than the others).
As mentioned earlier, one of the big selling points of this guy is that it comes with weapon accessories from the previous AMK Hornet. It's also a marketing tool. After all, before this accessory came out, players who wanted to own the weapons of AMK Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and others could only spend a lot of money to have a craftsman customize. The price of several gadgets is not two or three hundred each, which is especially unfriendly to civilian players and goes against the original intention of the AMK series. Now for 150, all the accessories are taken home, and a super warrior is included, which is simply numb (fog).
But to get back to the point, although YOLOPARK's official willingness to complete the accessories is very commendable, I still hope that the accessories of the future products will be put on sale in the corresponding products, and stop engaging in the operation of "buying accessories and sending the main body". After all, many players just want to have a toy with a full range of accessories.
So back to the Yellow Panther Warrior's own accessories. The detail and size of this fishbone spear are well done. The fishbone gun in the movie has a number of blue lighting effects on its body. It would be nice if the toys could be made with paint, which is a pity. The fishbone gun can be split into two pieces and turned into a state of double knives, although it doesn't seem to appear in the movie, but it is still very handsome.
Putting the two guns together is the shape in the movie. Personally, I still prefer this form, which is very stylish. Combined with the excellent articulation of the yellow leopard, a large number of handsome poses can be posed.
The articulation of the AMK series is much the same, so I won't go into detail here, but let's briefly show it to you. The first is the head, the classic two-segment joint, which looks up and turns the head down, as long as a human can pose in a pose that is not a big problem.
Shoulder level 90 degrees. However, this time, the shoulder armor often interferes with the shoulder mobility and is prone to getting stuck off. It has a little bit of an impact on playability.
The elbow is bent far more than ninety degrees. It's a beautiful detail.
There is a pulldown joint at the base of the thigh, and the forward kick is well over 90 degrees, which is roughly the same as a human forward kick (although many humans may not have a 90-degree forward kick...... Like me).
When the knees are bent, there will be details similar to the linkage of hydraulic rods. This is also the tradition of the AMK series.
The grounding amplitude is excellent. There is a piece of outer armor behind the ankle that can be moved alone, which greatly guarantees the abundance of mobility. Basically, you can stand up in a weird position.
All in all, this Yellow Panther Warrior is a very good mold, maintaining the consistently high standard of the YOLOPARK AMK series, and not cutting corners because of the obscurity of the character itself. However, due to the inconspicuous performance of the Yellow Panther Warrior itself in the movie, my love for this product is also relatively limited, mainly to make up the number and the bumblebee accessory bag. Compared to these human forms, which don't even have a frontal shot, I'm actually more interested in the beastly forms of the Super Warriors. After all, in the movie, nearly 90% of the super warriors appear in the camouflage form, and I personally think that the super warriors in the camouflage form are better than the human form in terms of beauty and novelty. However, it seems that YOLOPARK or any of the companies that have finished Transformers models have no plans to do so (except for the large humidifier). It looks like it's a lifetime series again.
In the end, even though the word-of-mouth and box office of Transformers 7 have been directly smashed, Paramount still seems to be unwilling to give up the huge fan base and commercial value of this IP, and according to reliable sources, preparations for the launch of the next two works have begun. This news is at least not a bad thing for us to become obsessed. However, the future of the Transformers market is still uncertain. If the follow-up series still uses crazy literature like ChangeSeven, then the IP of Transformers may be just around the corner. As a movie fan, I also feel powerless and can only silently pray that the next time the shooting will be a little better. This movie really gives us too many regrets, the characters who are as handsome as the yellow leopard and the rhinoceros are completely buried in the adventures of two ugly carbon-based creatures and the nonsense of the collapsed mother-in-law of Optimus Prime. Super Warriors, hurry up and rise in the next part......
