The Ultimates have really surprised me. Trans-color armor, shields covers without TRNO, a bad-guy sheild base variant, and fantastic stands have really hyped me up. Favorites from greatest to least would be:
Macy. As I said before, I have a thing for gals with heavy weapons. In addition to her oversized minigun and standard mace, she also comes with a golden flaming axe of justice. Bonus points added because unlike Clay and Aaron she sports the candy-color-coated look much better.
Robin. He is my smol engineer. Giant wrench missile backpack may be a little cumbersome in real life, but it looks pretty good. I also really like the science vibe his stand gives. Is it just me, or does he look like a mini Duke Exeter?
Lavaria: Probably the most creative design. Spider legs and bat wings are a really sp00ky combination. She just looks fantastic.
Aaron. Spring cannon crossbow, and more stud guns for good measure. The only reason heās not higher up on the list is that he looks like a member of the Green Lantern Corp.
Clay. Of all the knights, Clay pulls off the colored look the worst. His equipment is alright and his stand is boring.
Beast Master. Looks under armored and his chain propeller pack looks even worse than Clayās. Weapons are weird and even inconsistent (Why a drill?). I doubt Iāll even pick him up.
Edit: 1,001st post! (Personal post count) Mardi Gras!
So apparently Clay has the power of wind in his ultimate form, and by that He has transparent heli blades and a transparent blue claymore. Donāt like him too much.
Macy is super duper red, withā¦ flail mace powers even though she just swings her mace around like a blunt force weapon. Also massive 6 stud launcher.
Aaron is cuuuuuuul. 2 dual stud launchers, a spring cannon crossbow, but I donāt see any shieldboards and that makes me a 0/10.
Robin is coolish. Apparently his stand has a friggin lightning lab with trans blue spring cannon ammo, and he has this massive dual spring cannon backpack that is fit for 18 year olds. Oh yeah, the powers of wrenches.
Beast Master isā¦ a thing. His stand has a mini vortex umbrella, and that dumb little propeller thing is weird. I expect the balls to have printing of faces on them at least. That shield piece is cool, and the power of red spherical nixels is coolā¦ ish.
Lavaria is coooooool. Sheās got a spear, the power of beetles, wings, and a spring cannon crossbow. Allllll in one likely expensive set. Dunno why magic-only enemies can use the power of futuristic technology but ok, at least we got beetle shields.
I like the ultimate sets for the most part (they remind me of Ninjagoās spinners).
Hereās my order:
Macy: close to Aaron, but not quite. Great mace, color looks nice, great shield, love the mini gun, cool flaming golden axe. 9/10 (compared only to these sets).
Aaron: I like green. He pulls off his bow well. He looks good. His new bow looks better. As these sets go, 8/10
Robin: Sweet backpack thing, like the techno vibes. I appreciate the spring cannon they are using on him. 7/10
Lavaria: creative, looks good, like the bat-bug combo (always have liked that). Nonetheless, itāsā¦ just a little off. 6/10
Clay: The color just doesnāt work on him. Not a big fan of his rotors/ clear sword, his stand is bland. Not sure I will buy him. 4/10
Beast master: Not cohesive (why a drill?), base is bad, not a big fan of the model anyway, and his spinning thing looks dopey. 2/10, not buying it.
Hopefully he will be less annoying than scrappy. Maybe heās the prince. Also, his techno-pack ultimate thing makes me think he might have some purposeā¦
