  1. At least Sunsurge made it out to production. Spinout's been in limbo for quite a while. Nevermind, I just saw the update Well I'm glad Spinout is still happening, I do prefer him over Sunsurge. If Badcube does a police redeco, I'll get one and call it my Clampdown
  2. I finally got to open my Wardog/Warpath by Badcube. Transforming this guy can be a real chore. Especially the shoulders; I truly believe Badcube made the joints that allow the shoulders to rotate and extend outward more complicated than it should be. All the floppy panels and parts I encountered during transformation had me worried that the result would be a loose mess. Thankfully, this was not to be-Wardog makes for solid and stumpy Warpath! His alt mode looks like a completed and unpainted plastic model of a Sheridan tank...that's been molded in brick red. There is a big partsforming cheat that involves his shield, which becomes the underside of the whole tank. It could just be left out, but it would make one hollow looking tank. Anyways, just a word of warning to anyone who hasn't transformed theirs-be mindful of those pesky shoulder joints.
  3. I love how Ravage's weapons are fully integrated into the transformation. It looks awesome but for the price they're asking and simply because I'm fine with the official Ravage, I'm gonna pass on this one.
  4. MMC's Ravage looks quite good. Not that there's anything wrong with the official MP Ravage, but this one certainly has a more sinister look to it.
  5. I prefer the black parts on his underside for a cleaner look from above, so I do it the unofficial way. I was so sure that Reprolabels would have emblems in plain solid colors but nada. I ended up getting some of these: I wanted the emblems to match one of each Feralcon's colors with no silver border, so I'll end up using solid black or red Decepticon emblems on their chests and/or shoulders. And to answer your question, I say put the emblem on Felisaber's shoulder. It would make the cat head look cleaner.
  6. Speaking of labels for Rex, the last time I looked at Reprolabel's offerings, the designs were way over the top. I just wanted plain Decepticon emblems, but in red or black, which I think would look great on the Feralcons. Just today I found TFsticker who had exactly what I was looking for. My Rex has gone on without any sigils for too long!
  7. Nope, I gotta see the full combined mode to be fully sold. The jets do look cool, but I reckon they have the whole "jet-parts strapped on a bot's back" thing going on like the Aerialbots.
  8. Autobot. Then put a chain link leash around his neck to be Predaking's pet. It's a great toy for sure, Felisaber is quite articulate for all the blockiness he's got going. I just don't add him him to Rex though.
  9. After some browsing, I've found it's the Weijiang M01 Commander. It just hit the market, and those pics are of the final product.
  10. My guess is that it's the oversized KO of Evasion Prime that is in the works. I can't tell if that is the final product or a gussied up custom of one.
  11. Darn, that was the only set I knew about also. Well, there was also a set I found in Shapeways, but I have my issues with their material. I sent a message to MMC regarding my Sphinx's scratched face. I have high hopes for their customer service.
  12. First Lemmy, now this. Many thanks Mr. Bowie for the memories.
  13. Woot! This toy valk is something straight from my early fandom dreams. It looks leagues better with the SAP armor but I just cannot pull the trigger on it...yet.
  14. Sphinx has a good enough face for me...if it wasn't all scratched up out of the box. Once I have the time, I'll have to repaint it. Despite this, if Takara never releases a MP Mirage, Sphinx makes an excellent stand-in.
  15. Engraved on the other side of that slab in all caps it states, "ALL ARE SUBJECT TO MASS SHIFTING" I gotta add to the MMC rah rah party by stating that their Commotus figure is pretty sweet. I know very little about the IDW-verse, but I had to buy Commotus after seeing how a mean looking black bot can transform into something that looks like the cute tank from the Metal Slug games. Like most 3rd party products, the instructions are a little vague, but after watching a video to clear it up, it seems transformation is not overly complex and is quite fun. Overall, it's a great figure-no regrets picking this guy up.
  16. That was a cute surprise, I didn't know the little bugger was in there for a while. Regardless, I prefer Feral Rex without Catilla.
  17. During the couple of times I've had issues with an order (broken part and missing parts), BBTS was always receptive and helped me out, so they have my vote. TFSource is good too, I just got freaked out a while back when their online security was breached. Skip on Felisaber and save the money for the other limbs. Feral Rex's "Ultimate Mode" makes him more back-heavy and leaves a gap between his back and wings. Felisaber does come with additional parts for minor cosmetic changes to other Feral-cons, but it wasn't worth the purchase IMHO.
  18. Yeah, no kidding! I knew we had a dedicated thread, but didn't know it'd be this old. Hobby Master, got it-thanks!
  19. I've ignored this hobby for far too long. Doing a bit of browsing, I've missed out on some sweet looking planes, namely A-6s, F-8s, and most importantly F-111s. I'm looking for a F-111, but does anyone here know offhand if a 1/72 scale Royal Australian Air Force Aardvark was ever made?
  20. Mike, I say save your money for something else. I think $260 for Warlord is not worth it. I don't think it's good enough. I took a close look at it a while back, and while it makes a more svelt looking Predaking, it pales in comparison to MMC's rendition.
  21. The proportions certainly seem better with this Hot Rod compared with MP-28, and I do like how the front waist piece doesn't look as "flappy" as the one on MP-28. The big push for me would be how the final paint scheme would look like.
