Maketoys Giant Set B Crane & Dump Truck:

Set B has arrived and its better than set A! The first thing you notice about these guys is how much bigger they are compared to the Bulldozer and Excavator figures, they also weigh a lot more.

Firt up Dump Truck, in vehicle mode he picks up like a little plastic brick and looks very nice. The rear bucket is not very deep and is used to store the pile driver weapons, you can also see a the leg connectors hanging out of the back which does not bother me but may annoy some. Upon transforming him you will be met with how tight the front panels of the Dump Truck are so use a lot of care when moving them, there have been a lot of reports of them snapping due to too much pressure being applied so if in doubt check the Maketoys website for the easy fix. Once in robot mode he is a beast of a bot with huge hulking arms and fists, he can also be posed easily thanks to ball jointed feet. You have a choice of weapons being able to pick from his bog standard rifle to the 2 pile drivers which are worn behind his upper arm.

Next up Crane, this guy is a first in that he has a head for a foot! that's right, the lump on the front of his right foot is the Giants head and its stored away pretty well. Vehicle mode is nice and about as good as a mobile crane can get, the arm extends but the hook does not swing which I think would have been a nice touch. The detailing is good reminding me a lot of the old Caterpillar models of old.
In robot mode we modded the crane arm simply by removing the screw, this gives it a better range of motion and means he doesn't have to carry it in front of him all the time like a rifle. Something that surprised me was the fact that Crane is not a lot smaller than the TFC Toys Dr Crank figure.

Combined with my existing set A this has given me a glimpse of the completed figure and it is going to be great, its a nice tight package and will look great next to the official Transformers figures of new such as Generations, Classics and Universe.

Overall Set B Scores 8/10
