Personally this figure is amazing as its own standalone figure. But as a transofrmering figure it is just as good. Reminds me of a smaller combiner of sorts. Very good.

waist is better on my copy, but still took ridiculous effort to separate for transformation. makes me wonder do they play with their toys before releasing to the public? but really takes the joy out when you have to worry about breaking something by doing something it was design to do.

If you really want to know my feelings on this, checkout my review in for Fansproject WB-008 Trianix.

Both are top notch bots.

Apart from a different color scheme, extra accessories and a fairly different overall aesthetic, this figure is basically the same as Fansproject's Trianix Alpha and therefore has all the same flaws. This figure is lovely to look at and nice to hold but you must transform it with extreme caution or it will break in potentially difficult to fix ways.

While I didn't get to know how the original Dai-Atlas fought as his show was only available in Japan, I find that his reincarnation into IDW's Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, really made him look outstanding! While I may not preorder Dai-Z right away as I need to save my money for other things as they become available here, I will say that if he's still on the market, I can definitely say I will get him.
