    TT version looks way better. let me count the ways. 1. Correct toon blue coloring (hasbro's was neither toy nor toon). 2. no widening stripes (consistent thickness 3. silver on the feet (which is correct per toon) 4. no dumb tattoos 5. silver all the way to the bottom of the shoulder pauldrons (intakes) which even many customs get wrong (the ones i comissioned 2 years ago included) 6. cockpit color consistent and correct (orangey vs. yellow/green) 7. no grey daisy dukes i passed on skywarp due to hasbro asia pricing (ridiculous btw) and the fact that i had a custom SW. it'll be tough to pass on thudercracker if the retailer markups aren't too bad. that being said i wonder when TT proper will release SW if ever. I also wonder if another seeker mold is in the works (i would not doubt it...as mp-11 is based on mp-3...by now an old toy with many shortcomings but an awesome alt mode).

    see i got a problem with this "IF THE VF-2SS SELLS ENOUGH (and thats a big IF)... -The SAP has already been designed. There are slots in the current prototype for the SAP if you look closely enough. -IF it ever gets released it will probably not be as a stand alone product." why not sell the SAP both in bundles AND separately. Separately would be to reward those that helped guarantee the continuation of the line. a bundles would draw new people in. bundle ONLY Seems like a big FU to the early adopters. however, if you are going to make the thing compatible (see slots) and then NOT release stand alone and then say you likely won't release a stand alone....who is going to buy the original release? they need their PR and marketing people on this. this strategy is horrid and not going to earn them any fans. after see pictures of the protos i was going to preorder...then i read this in this thread...on the border AGAIN.

    So has anyone here actually seen the anime? these have always been cool mecha but i don't like spending money on stuff i don't have that much attachment to. 1/24 toys of Patlabor, Megazone, Votoms would be cool. inter universe play is nice.

    dang....i want..but who should i put it on? on Roy's 0S is cannon but its a shame to cover up roy's battroid with that i think. maybe put it on shin's? i don't think i'm going to buy a Shin AND an unknown soldier guy unless he reallly is brownish vs. greyish.

    wait, the light up suit one, can' t remove the helmet? any pics of either/both?

    so no visible sap attachment points....is it possible they will use.....magnets with some clips maybe? this is evolution toys right?
  7. Mechapilot77

    AE told me my hulk was in.

    there are so many good toys out there in this price range coming this year. part of me wants to support a mac 2 product, but this looks well....still kinda amateurish. on the other hand if people don't support it, we will never see more mac 2 stuff or other mac stuff from people other than bandai or arcadia. hmmmm

    looks almost like the yamato cavaliers

    it likely won't (but might still) pop up again until just before or just after release date is my guess....aside from random ones popping up due to cancellations etc.

    ummm, am i the only one that thinks the live action kinda looks friggen awesome in the trailer!? no i don't want a hollywood remake!
  13. Mechapilot77
    missed it. oops...guessing it'll come around again.
  14. Mechapilot77
    i think that can only mean one thing....they are going to issue a weapons/accessory set in the future.

    appears to be high metal vs. toynami 1/100 vinyl battle pods. they were at one pont on crazy sale at bbts ($9!!). i sold my dyrl ones off but still have at least one SDFM colored one (pods).
  16. Mechapilot77
    nice...there is just somethign about g1 toys. i love em but won't collect them...i just have a few reissues. i might pick that p though. hmmm
  17. Mechapilot77
    middle picture 2nd row....looks like a millenium falcon. lol. just squint hard enough and you'll see it.
  18. Mechapilot77
    hi metal glaug would be sweet. cmon bandai!
  19. Mechapilot77
    oops...totally let my nippon yasan order expire (got cancelled becasue forgot to pay). what are the chances this will be available on release? its not a hero valk so pretty good right? FWIW i would totally trade my MISB isamu yf-29 for this one.

    minmay is out of scale but probably the 2nd best sculpt after roy. i guess you could say she is wearing heels? still though. even though i'd get these i wish we could have better.
  21. Mechapilot77
    looks like they are 4". given the size the articulation doesn't look bad. SHF and figma are 6" scale though, so it will not scale with those. closest line it scales with would be the new mini revoltechs...think those are 4" scale. if they were going small they should have just went 3.75" though to be honest (like classic 80's action figures and some modern stuff too) being that there are no other ones out there i'll get these if the price is not ridiculous. i do wish bandai or figma would give us 6" figures with decent sculpts though. these sculpts definitely look a bit reinterpreted. also i notice misa (lisa hayes) gets shafted again. how does the third corner of a love triangle semi central to the theme not get represented?
  22. Mechapilot77
    i like the omnigonix version more...if only we had someone on this board that knew more about it!!! lol. a new estimate release date even?
  23. Mechapilot77
    if those releaes i soooooo need them. i don't care if its toynami!
  24. Mechapilot77
    of course it would because its not in the same market space....AT ALL. hastak devy is bing marketed towards kids....likley kids of original g1 fans. the parents buy it for the kids and also themselbes...or maybe just for themselves because hey...it actually does look like the devastator we grew up watching on tv. Also $140 is really easy to swallow compared to $500 especially when its a ton larger. yes, each individual bot could have been better and combind mode has several issues too but again $140 for an 18" devastator. also those voyager limbs while simple...seem larger than omst voayagers...almost in the old ultra class size so the price seems to make sense. i have herc with upgrades and my freind has giant...neither is closer to my mental image of devastator than this...and each is much much smaller...heck hastak's is DOUBLE the height of MT's giant.

    i like omni's design overall better, proportions etc. the only thing that BC did better was the size windows and the smaller roof chest. i have a feeling it is a false roof chest though fi that drawing is accurate.
