The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

[mikeszekely]

On the one hand, that's the best Arcee I've seen.

On the other hand, I was never that into Arcee, and I can't imagine paying whatever they wind up asking for her.

[xrentonx]

I don't collect third party stuff or RC or many TFs but that RC is now on my radar!

[anime52k8]

I think I like the idea or arcee more than I actually like arcee herself.

Also, as much as I like MMC and their craziness, I still think Perfect Effect's motobot looks better.

[GU-11]

I seriously hope my hobby store brings her in for pre-order.

Indeed.

[Negotiator]

She might be my first 3rd party TF

I think they look great, which is why I went with MMC instead of UTs. I heared some ppl bitching about the scaling but I see that it's a bit of a homage to the original G1 toy which if I remember right is quite massive.

[slaginpit]

I still prefer the mastermind Predaking

word from MMC's that Hexatron has a bit of a Quality issue thus to fix the problem they're pushing the release back until the end of May.

What about Maketoys Mobine Series PALADIN / CHAOS? Have you heard anything about that. Its been ages since they they pushed the date forward from last year.

And now the 2 remaining TFC jets are pushed back as well, what is going on?

[David Hingtgen]

I think that's damn impressive for practically no parts-forming/accessories/kibble.

[anime52k8]

wow...

[GU-11]

I'm glad they chose to delay the release and fix the problem. I pre-ordered it, and it's to be my first ever 3P TF toy.

[anime52k8]

I didn't really want to buy an absolutely massive, expensive Predaking; but I kind of want to just get Razorclaw because he looks awesome buy himself.

[David Hingtgen]

Talon/Divebomb is still the most impressive in bot mode IMHO.

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

That looks great, TFC has their work cut out for them if they're still making their own Predaking.

[anime52k8]

Talon/Divebomb is still the most impressive in bot mode IMHO.

but that lion mode... it looks like a zoid and that makes me like it.

[Old_Nash]

Mastermind stepping up their game with Arcee

IDW's Twisted Arcee???

[GU-11]

IDW's Twisted Arcee???

Yup, and a very anticipated one as well, AFAIC. I just hope my local hobby store brings this in. Sucks that I don't have a decent G1 Arcee figure in my neo-G1 collection yet. The PE bike fembots woud have been nice, but ye ole hobby store didn't/couldn't/won't bring them in.

[slaginpit]

Cant wait for Mastermind's Predaking. That will be my bow from collecting. I have decided to stop collecting any more toys after predaking. Which is probably end of the year. Made a promise to the wife no more.

[David Hingtgen]

Proof of a well-designed figure is that it looks good from every angle.

(Having big friggin' guns helps too!)

[Valkyrie2008]

Man, MMC need to release those now!

[Valkyrie Magnus]

I gotta get that Arcee the animated Arcee wasn't too bad.

[GU-11]

I gotta get that Arcee the animated Arcee wasn't too bad.

Animated Arcee was actually pretty good, but you have no idea how fast the toy sold out, both in hobby stores, TRU AND online. I even asked a relative who was going to Hong Kong to see if she could nab one for me at the local shops, but no such luck.

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

I must have iGear's Wheelie. (Busta Ryhmes-awesome) Powerglide doesn't look bad either.

[David Hingtgen]

Make Toys Quantron:

[mass driver]

Wow, that's.....interesting. they're definitely taking some artistic license with the bow and arrow thing.

[David Hingtgen]

Yes, but it does give some purpose to the otherwise ludicrously huge gun barrel:

[Twoducks]

Really exited about this one but that red swallows the great detail a bit.

[anime52k8]

Make Toys Quantron:

Computron?

[mikeszekely]

Computron?

Yeah.

Personally, I'm not a fan of any of the Autobot combiners, so meh for me. But if you're into Computron, there ya go.

[CoryHolmes]

Too many combiners coming out. I'm all combined-out now.

[David Hingtgen]

The Autobots always had fewer combiners, and I was never a big fan of any of them. TFC screwed up Uranos, and I had pretty much decided a while ago that I'd only buy a Computron if it was like "every figure is perfect in every mode". And this one doesn't look THAT cool to me. It's not bad, but not good enough to make me buy a team that I'm only "meh" about.

Conversely---I am not a huge Predaking fan. But MMC's design is friggin' awesome, so I'm totally in. (plus I never completed my original G1 set as a child, so I've wanted a complete one for most of my life)

Likewise---I am a HUGE Menasor fan. So if it's done even decently, I want it---and FP's Menasor, while not perfect, is definitely "good" IMHO.

My fave Autobot combiner is Defensor, and I really think it could be done very well by most any of the main 3P companies. I mean, Hot Spot's already a big rectangular vehicle to start with, and turns into a very blocky torso and bot mode. Just might have to wait a while for everyone else's combiners to be done first.

[anime52k8]

I'm still slightly dumbfounded by the fact that someone would come out with a Computron before a Defensor.
