Finishing our reviews of the Perfect Effect PA upgrade series, here’s PA-03 “Master” for Botcon 2012 Gigatron! Warden had better be ready!
Video Segments:
Straightforward overview: Not divided into segments!
This kit most resembles the PA-02 Samurai kit in the sense that it has the weapons plus two heads. The helmets on each are identical and diecast, and the heads on each represents his normal and “Last Stand of The Wreckers” damaged faces from IDW fiction. I was confused as to why the heads were removable since there were only two heads for two helmets with one face each, but realized that it was likely because the helmets are diecast while the heads are not.
There’s no comic included with this kit to add him to their canon, but it’s nice that they kept this version of the mold in mind especially with them having made his rival in Warden.
The helmet is a lighter shade of blue that matches Gigatron’s accents rather than the blue of his main body like the regular head does. This may be off-putting to some that are use to the symmetry in colors. Overall, it’s a nice kit that really beefs him up and makes him more formidable looking, albeit not being able to help with the issue of the mold’s height in comparison to Overlord scaling so gigantically to other characters in canon.
Overall Score: 7.0/10
