I mean Deformation, you know a lot of these KO third-party figures are called deformation But this is like the southern drawl version, you know the Deformation I thought that was cool plus. I've always liked transmittal to dragon Megatron, so taking a quick look at the packaging you've got the flamedevil Right here in robot mode some great looking artwork more artwork. They're on the side and this side as well back of the box is kind of Almost like a product shot, but done in a artsy style You don't really have any look at the actual product itself So now without further ado, let's go ahead and get this packaging open and check him out and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Now once you get the flamedevil all opened up and now the packaging you'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions That is fairly well illustrated This is actually pictures of the item itself with the transforming sections highlighted in red This is fairly easy to follow though. It did take me a couple times to figure it out He also comes with quite a few accessories. He has this Reddish flame blast effect that can be used in both robot and dragon mode He comes with two sets of extra hands. He has these hands right here that are kind of a mid grip And then he has these splayed open clawed fingers and I really like these He also comes with an extra face or actually the nose and lower half of the face and this one has a maniacal grin on it and I'll show you how that works later on Now let's take a closer look at the flamedevil himself now When I first opened this guy up Oh, well, let you know right off the bat in packaging the wings are separate from the figure But they just peg on there's mushroom pegs right there. They snap right into place and When I first got him I thought maybe they screwed up I got a bad one because this wing right here notice There's no screw holes where this one right here You can see the screws what screw holes the screws itself And I thought maybe mine was screwed up and they sent me one that had two right wings But after doing some research and looking at some stock photos of the guy, this is it This is how they made him. They didn't make two separate wings You just took the other right and flipped it around. So this one no screws that one has the screws So oh well now looking at this guy He reminds me of a bionicle figure. He's just very I don't know angular and lots and lots of moving parts So we'll get into that more later on you can always see also you can already see man I can't talk how this guy is moving and shifting as I'm messing with him, but he still looks really cool I love the wings now. These are articulated so you can really Splay these wings out and I think that looks awesome now these wings also hide More weaponry if you take the top of the wing here and pull straight out he has a Sword and that is slick now the sword can only be used in the hands that he came attached with or that he came with Just peg those in just like so and of course he has two of them Come on and they are in there tight Oh man, so no worries about those falling off. Look at this. Look how he's he's went to pieces As I've tried to get those swords out so Get him all stood back up now a big complaint with this guy. He is very loose Lots and lots of ball joints and I can foresee myself Using a lot of floor polish to really tighten this guy up. So go ahead and put those swords in his hands And there you go. So that looks pretty cool Not a big fan of translucent plastic, but I like the way this looks if you get this guy on a shelf With some good light in the background He's really really going to pop now. We go ahead and get these swords out And we'll put those back in the wings So he can look once again at the figure now Taking a closer look at the head sculpt The head is not bad. I like this face. It's a very solemn looking face So I dig this now all the stock images show the other face Which I'm not a big fan of and let me show you how to Change out the faces first off. You got this translucent Section on the helmet you will lift this up and then you just kind of grab the chin lift up and you're going to pop out Gotta be careful and then threw it out You pop out that little face section. Like I said, you just got the nose and the mouth Looking right here. You can see There's the eyes and then you got this little peg that's going to line up to the peg hole in the Back of the face plate and these are kind of hard to get a hold of So let me get this grinny face in A lot easier said than done Actually when I was transforming this guy the first time I didn't realize that these faces popped off I didn't know there was an extra face in the baggie and I thought damn. I broke him already But this this is a pain you got to be very Careful to get this in it's just not it's hard to get your fingers in But there we go. I've got his smiley face attached and Like I said, I'm not a big fan of that look. I think he looks a little too Joker-ish, so let's go ahead and put on or put back on the regular face And yeah, you definitely want to make sure these are stored away so you don't lose them. They are tiny So let's see if I can get this in there a little easier than the last Of course, it helps if you don't put it in upside down There we go So now we got the regular face back in and that looks pretty cool. Now. Let's get into articulation or the articulation He's supposed to have without all this other moving around the wings Great articulation. Like I said, the feathers can flare out You've got Larger feathers here up top the smaller feathers here you can kind of angle these However, you want the wings can go back and forward. You'll see this more in dragon mode Fold these down move them out of the way For the arms the arms are on a ball joint. You can see right here You can do a complete 360 if the wings weren't in the way So you got all the basic articulation that you would have with a ball joint There's also a rotation right here at the bicep along with a Bicep bend and the left arm here Does have the dragon head so you can position the dragon head Up here on the wrist or if you want to make him look more beast wars accurate just turn the fist around and lock down the Dragon head so now he looks more like his beast wars cartoon counterpart But I think this is really cool how he can mount the dragon head on his forearm We'll go ahead and turn that fist back around He does have Waste articulation and it's really loose. You can really spin this around. There is translucent plastic right there as well The legs legs can go forward. They can go back. There is a knee bend. There is a Rotation at the hip and that's because it's on a ball joint As well ankles is there's a slight ankle tilt Pain applications this guy's got great paint applications gold there on the knees Gold there on the crotch a little gold there on the arms Tips of the wings. I love the collar scheme for this guy. They really did good Plus he's got like a darker metallic red right there for this little section on the shoulder And down here on the feet and also these toes They're articulated as well So now let's show off the how the accessories work in robot mode if I can get him to stand up now Yes, he does have a hell of a cod piece too Before anybody mentions it in the comments It's it's impressive. So if I can get him to stand up Go ahead and show you how these hands work These are really simple compared to a lot of figures that have interchangeable hands They the hand just pops right off There's no mushroom peg or anything. It's almost like your basic five millimeter peg Pop the hand off pop the new one in so there is the half open hand Pop this one back out and let's see We will get the Splayed hand right here. This is my favorite. This is how I like to have him Pose with this. I will conquer the world Look, so I dig it. But for transformation You're going to have to have the closed fist hands Attached now as far as the blast effects concern the blast effect goes in the dragon mouth So just open the dragon mouth up. You'll see this little port pop out and slide this right in So now you have Megatron or flame devil has a flamethrower on his wrist But his loose joints It kind of makes it hard to get a good dramatic pose because It's going to droop. Actually that doesn't look too bad. So Yeah, that's that's it's it's cool. It's all right now back of the figure Back of the figure is a jumbled mess. You've got the Dragon tail hanging off the back. You've got these little hip skirts You've got the chest sections with the dragon claws overhead. You got the waist that keeps popping apart so In my opinion This this is definitely a figure. You're not going to be really playing with This is one you're just going to have posed on the shelf. I know. Yeah, right here on the right arm He does have this little extra shield piece Right there. So that is pretty much it for robot mode Let's go ahead and get into transformation and transformation Is a little bit difficult at first now what you're going to do first step is you're going to take the head And pop it off and there goes the face. Like I said, I thought I broke this the first time So I'm going to take this face off and place it to the side So you're going to pop this section out. You see a little tab right there turn the head around And you're going to fold it up into the dragon tail And just kind of pull that down out of the way Now what we're going to do Is bring the body section up And take the wings section the wings and this back section are all one piece So we're going to kind of Fold this down out of the way Try to get everything Extended There we go Now we're going to make sure and move these sections down and rotate This around right here because the dragon head needs to be facing forward And there's a lot of twists and turns you're going to have to do right here to get the dragon head just right Just like I showed earlier, we're going to take the fist Rotate it and that way it'll lock into the dragon Neck, but we're going to pull with this more later on now right here This gets a little confusing. What you want to do is get the arm folded straight down Let's see I need to turn this This way and up You'll fold the arm down And you need to bring this section right here is going to lock into this little tab right there on the crotch So get that in like so so we've got That look going on now We need to bring the tail down and get these little hip skirts Down and around This is the section that took me forever to figure out when transforming This flame devil figure get the arms out of the way This probably looks terrible on camera. Don't feel bad. It looks terrible for me, too So we're going to bring this up And what want to do If I can get it to manipulate There's just so many parts and pieces that just stay in the way It's just not an easy figure To transform at all Okay Like I said, this chest section is the worst piece To try to manipulate and then you got to get these little hip skirts up and around and under Okay, so that is not pleasant. You've got to get the hip skirts Folded around the body of the flame devil here And then clip them together right above this section right here With those little tabs. So once you get that on there, you're good to go And as you can see the dragon head popped off during the process But it is on a ball joint and should be easy to pop back on Should be And it normally is when you're trying not to do it on camera So now we've got this section connected. We've got the chest section Connected now. We're going to bring down the arms and the wing section here And these are going to tab in see the little tabs right there And there's little slots right here on these arm sections. Just got to get those to line up This is one of the most fiddly figures I have ever messed with Let me go ahead and swing the arms down get these out of the way See if I can get this tabbed in a little better Right there. Just got to get them lined up just right So there we go. We've got those chest sections tabbed in Go ahead and angle the dragon neck Accordingly you want to make sure the little dark red section is right there underneath the throat With the legs here you're going to take them and then just Open the hips up a little bit more to give him more of a wide stance Angle the feet get these arms turned around Bring the wings up And there we have the flame dragon And dragon mode It looks all right. I mean It's a bionicle looking version of a dragon, but all the same articulation is there for the wings The tail is now very prominent and I wish the tail Connected there's no way for this tail to connect. It looks like crap right here and Very very loose, but there is lots of articulation. I mean this thing Has a lot of movement Of course articulation for the arms and legs are exactly the same The neck now could look up slightly It kind of breaks apart here the head can turn Of course the jaw can open and close the head could look up and down But it does separate right here where this fist is I wish there was a way that could connect as well as I said earlier You're not going to be playing with this figure You're going to have it displayed and of course the blast effect can work just the same In dragon mode and actually it works better. I think in dragon mode, of course Well, maybe not that There we go. So if you bring it up, nope It is just way too loose. Of course, you've got megatron there on all fours. You can bring him Up like so So you got him breathing fired down. So that looks all right But you know, it's it's not bad for what it is I mean only paid 34 for it. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece figure but It's all right And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is the deformation df 07 flame devil With beast wars transmittal 2 megatron Kingdom beast megatron And generation selects generation 2 megatron The deformation df 07 flame devil Transmetal 2 megatron is a cool yet frustrating figure This guy is so loose. It just drives me nuts when I try to pose him For example right here took me about five minutes just to get this pose There's going to have to be a lot of floor polish added to his joints to help him out Transformation is frustrating as well. Even though I've transformed this guy multiple times I still have problems Especially as you saw with pieces falling off But like I said, I wasn't sure what I was going to get for 34 dollars This was kind of expected. So there you go guys. There is the deformation df 07 flame devil So does the deformation df 07 flame devil belong in your collection? Well, if you like quirky figures I'd say go for it. He's neat Yet frustrating. I like the looks of the guy. I like how I can really spread these wings out. He's got such a nice Wing span. He's gonna look really good on the shelf if I can get him to stand up He keeps falling over. He's got really weak joints. So as I said multiple times I've got my big old bottle of floor polish right here. I think I'm going to give his joints a Coating so he'll stand on the shelf and look good I probably won't transform him anymore because transforming this guy is a pain in the ass It's just hard to get together pieces pop off and I'm so afraid I'm going to lose like his little face so transformation Maybe if I'm in a secure environment where I know nothing's going to fall off and disappear But other than that, I mean for 34.99. Why not? I think he looks He's all right.
