Do you have enough room? Simply put: this set is huge, maybe even too big. There is a ton of nice details like the turrets and monorails on top of the wall that connected de 4 main section of the base. The monorail even makes me remember the old set 6970 - Beta-1 Command Base, which is a good thing :). The base comes with two big mechs, let's call them the blue one (humans) and the black one (robots). - The blue one is impressive, it's like a cross breed between the 7712-Supernova for the use of fingers & cockpit design and the 7700-Stealth Hunter for the weapons & the 'wings'. Take the best of both worlds and the result is a masterpiece. - The black mech is impressive too. I like the turning waist. Some people don't like the fact that there are nearly no arms but I just find this very clever, it feels more like an unstoppable powerful battle machine. 'Guns with no brain'. Uncommon building technic for the body. Now, onto the different sections: The mech repair bay is cool; the moving crane is nicely detailed as the 2 platforms with the tools and refuelling tube. The command control is not enough detailed. Same remark for the armoury section, feels quite empty. The control centre can rotate but can't move vertically. This is kind of stupid since like that, it's just 4 big cannon firing at the horizon... The medical section is nice and there is a clever use of the light tubes. The gate... well it's just a gate, nothing much to say about it. A great playset that can be easily cut in 4 sections for storage. Too bad it's soo expensive. Score: 8/10 |
