ARC 170 - the closest AF in size and features

[itsme]

Guys, here's some comparison photos comparing the Revell, Titanium Ultra and SW Transformers ARC 170 fighter. Revell comes with 3 figures but without opening cockpits. The rest have opening cockpits with the Transformers having an AF size figure included. The four smaller wings of Titanium Ultra ARC is non-movable whereas the other two are movable. Regarding playing features, the Transformers cannons have firing mechanism. In term of size, the Transformers ARC 170 is the closest to AF size. Check out the photos.

Agreed. I like it a lot, I had before the TF Grievous Bike and was disappointed by it. But the ARC is really cool! You barely can see it is a TF robot, it is very sturdy and keeps the fighter shape very well. I only glued the lateral cannons to be sure they won't rotate.;)

Look at this Transformers critique thread made by a good friend of mine:

If the Titanium 6" version had movable wings, it's small but I think I would have given it the AF-cup. However, because it is fairly small, has no figures, and no movable wings, the SW:Transformers version takes the cake, it's probably the best entry in the line so far. I like the SWTF Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter, and the Slave 1 is very close to the Action Fleet one in size and general look, the Vader's TIE is pretty close in size to its AF counterpart (the larger version) but the colors aren't as tight.


How strong is the Revell one?

The plastic used is a bit thinner as compared to the TF. Model kits type of plastic. A little force, you may crack the parts. The included figures in the Revell version does not have movable arms and legs, unlike the pilot from the TF.

Ah, standard model plastic, the bane of my existance, I don't still have a single plastic model I've ever built, and I've built probably 50 or so over my lifetime, they all break in my hands (ok, the lights & sounds Enterprise-A didn't break, it just got lost :(), I am nowhere near careful enough. That's why I like Action Fleet and die cast metal models.

The same here. :sleeping: I had lots of rare Soviet model helicopters, jets and tanks. Also I got a few SW models: TIE Fighters, Vader's Fighter, AT-AT, AT-ST, TIE Interceptor. I gave all of them to my little cousin Roby. He still has most of them:yes:
