Mastermind Creations Reforrmatted R-19 Kultur. (aka Tarn)

KULTUR (aka TARN)
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px])

Tarn
is an eloquent Decepticon. He enjoys nothing more than playing beautiful music as he waxes poetic quoting Towards Peace and other philosophical works by Megatron. He tends to indulge these pleasures at the same time he's using his specially modulated vocal processor to cause the Decepticon Justice Division's latest transgressor's spark to self-destruct. The leader of the D.J.D., Tarn epitomizes the mentality of the team. He is beyond zealous in his devotion to Megatron's cause, going so far as to emboss the Decepticon insignia onto his own faceplate. No traitor, no coward is capable of escaping his team.


Alt mode 360 GIF.

Top of the tank.

Both cannon is separated and detachable.

Was expecting this turret to be self rotate base, but it is not.

This two gun can rotate out to the side.

The middle piece of the armor below the cannon turret is a grenade launcher.

Some grenades details.

Totally missed this feature on the feet, another launcher for tank mode. (kind of hidden if you didn't check the instruction, because I didn't read the instruction, I just accidentally found out this feature)

Tank chain belt close up.

Rear track.

Without the main turret. It still look very cool without the turret.

Compares to Combiners War & Headmasters series.

Compares to Hardhead alt mode, Kultur/Tarn is a heavy tank to him.

MMC tank buddies!

Robot mode 360 GIF.

7.10" head height.

Close up on the face.

Side of the head.

The mask is removable to reveal who he is. Click HERE for his real face. <spoiler alert!>

Chest plate is a bit flat.

But the hinges for the chest can extend for more bulky chest.

The ball joint and hinge makes the neck joint good on articulation.

Shoulder come with hinge and ball joint, but the hinge is too tight, a little pressure to move it. Elbow joint movement is limited when move out to side, huge track shoulder. (trademark shoulder, lol)

Over 130 degree angle elbow joint fold, not bad.

360 waist swivel and forward folding joint.

Leg articulations is not bad, just it needs to flip away the tracks for more knee folding angles.

Fingers is a two-piece style design joint.

Very good articulations for a figure, and he is handsome too, lol.

My Kultur's forearm paint is easily scratched when I open the box, sad. I think the paint is too thin.

Not much details under the chest plate, it is much cooler if MMC could put some hydraulic and mechanic details on that place.

Tracks can fold away for more articulations on knee joint.

Tarn's weapon, dual cannon attached on his forearm, he is kind of a Megatron fanboy. The front of the cannon is rotatable.

There holes behind the cannon, I thought it is for attaching weapons, but apparently it is not 5mm post for other weapons, it doesn't fit.

This two cannons can also hold by the figure's hand.

The tank turret peg hole is still usable for storing the cannons.

Different style.

The post on the hand is also suitable for other 5mm peg weapons.

So as Turmoil's large and short cannon.

"I call it Lil Meg" Tarn.

Compares to Headmaster series.

Comparing to Super Ginrai, it's so cool if they really are that size in TF world.

Comparing to Skids.

Compares to Combiner.

Families of Mastermind Creations.

His name is Tarn, from Tarn, Decepticon Justice Division.

"There is a music I want you to listen... When you are dying..."

Skids first met with Tarn.

A deceiving commandant...

His goals is to clear out those who is on the D.J.D. list, Autobots or Decepticons, dead or alive. (mostly end up dead)

Stone cold killer.

IDW The Transformers MTMTE #7: Rules of Disengagement.

IDW The Transformers MTMTE #8: Who's Afraid of the DJD?.

IDW The Transformers MTMTE #39: The Permanent Revolution.

Tarn VS Lost Light's crews. (it's hard to say who win who lose, since he is strong like Phase-Sixer...)

"Who are you...? A Decepticon? A Judge? A symbol of fear? Hound of Megatron...?"

SHFigurearts Shinkocchou, N Daguva Zeba.

N DAGUVA ZEBA
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px])

N Daguva Zeba
Daguva fought the original Kuuga, Riku, in his Imperfect Form and lost ending up sealed in Kuuga's sarcophagus along with him. He is reawakened in modern times by archaeologists whom he kills and revives the other Gurongi to re-initiate the Gegeru.

Before showing himself to the modern Kuuga, Yusuke Godai, Daguva kills 152 of his kind seeing them as inferior in Nagano. He reveals himself to the police killing Gooma and falling off the radar after six days of being sighted. By this time he assumed his human form.


Once Gadoru is killed, Daguva begins the "end game" by causing an endless heavy rain before defeating Kuuga in his Amazing Mighty Form while leaving massive damage in his wake. As he revealed to Baruba, he is giving Kuuga time to get stronger as a favor for giving him time to move around the country in peace.



360 GIF.

Heights around 5.10 inch.


Close up. Can clearly see the tribes tattoo on the middle of the horn.


Chest decorations is much more details than the old version.


Things under the hair.


Still same like the old version design, and it is also made of soft plastic, but the details is more deeper and much more details.


This area look so nice. But the decoration piece is somehow not best for the hip joint.


The sculpting on this figure is very nice, look more like a creature now.


Shade paint job under the feet is bit sloppy, haha.


Earrings on the ear, they never made it on the old version. Can't tell how accuracy of the earring on details.


Head can turn only to 90 degree, restrain by the hair parts.


Hair parts can flip up and down, but the angle is still not enough.


Ball joint under the rib area.


Swivel joint on the waist area.


Shoulder joint can swing out up to over 100 degree.


Double hinge elbow joint.


Double hinge knee joint, and the feet articulations is not bad too.


Don't know what this hand for? Not like for holding bike handle, weird.


Old and new comparison, left is new, right is old.


Side. The new version is a lots shorter than the new version, but more bulkier.


The chain cape look much more realistic, and much more reliable. The old one did not attach on the torso, it is very loose on the figure, make it more difficult to pose the figure.


The details on the belt is a lot better than the old one, more accurate.


Comparisons. Left to right: Shinkocchou Agito Ground form, Shinkocchou Kuuga Ultimate, Shinkocchou N Daguva Zeba, SHF Kuuga Ultimate, SHF N Daguva Zeba and SHF Rising Ultimate Kuuga.


"I AM INVINCIBLE---!!"


" I will crush you, warrior of Linto!"


"Those who resist shall perish..."


N Daguva Zeba VS N Daguva Zeba!


Of course the new one will win, lol.


"At last, you have come to me, Kuuga."


"It's either you or me! Die!"


They engage hand-to-hand combat as their super-natural power doesn't do any effects on them.


They are almost equally power.


In the end... What if...


...what if N Daguva Zeba didn't die in the final battle...?



Thanks for watching!
