anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 So moist... (yeah, it's not cream colored,but it's still so damn sexy...) can't wait for pre-orders for this guy to open up, hope he's around $50USD. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I hold out hope it is cream colored and that it's just the photo. Quote
GU-11 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Very nice, although I'd prefer clear windshields. Or are they trying to homage the G1 toy by giving it painted windshields? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Because clear windshields lead to mis-matched paint. See MP Sideswipe. (also, clear plastic is weaker) Also, it seems the windshield splits into several pieces as part of the transformation---it'd look ugly in clear with all the seams and hinges. Quote

VF5SS Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I hold out hope it is cream colored and that it's just the photo. Just leave it out in the sun and nature will do th' rest. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 That just furthers my opinion that Wildrider and Dead End should be switched. You know, make the Ferrari a Ferrari.... (Plus the paint job worked so much better for Dead End as the fake concept car) Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Overlord! :-) Why is gigatank WFC Brawl and Megajet a boat? :edit: and apparently they combine to form a G.I.Joe toy... That just furthers my opinion that Wildrider and Dead End should be switched. You know, make the Ferrari a Ferrari.... (Plus the paint job worked so much better for Dead End as the fake concept car) Yeah, at this point I'm completely sold on Breakdown and on the fence on the rest. If they nail Motormaster as perfectly as Breakdown I'll be getting all 5 Just to have the full team and combined mode. otherwise I may just be getting Breakdown by himself.

Uxi Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 and dead end is a ferrari FXX... I hate that car. I thought it, odd, though forgivable to not like the YF-23, but this is just too much. Quote

anime52k8 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I thought it, odd, though forgivable to not like the YF-23, but this is just too much. Oh come on, the FXX looks like an Enzo with a cheap ricer body kit slapped on it. At least it doesn't have the stupid projector headlight blisters that the Real FXX does, but I'd like it a lot better if they had gone with a regular Enzo body style. either way I'm with david on this though, if they're going to put a ferrari on the team it should be wildrider. And I'd much rather see Dead End as a Carrera GT. Quote
Uxi Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I do actually like the original Enzo more than the FXX. Have been drooling over the 1/12 Tamiya, but the last decade has all been FXX. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 see, missiles that low on the legs look good once they're part of the whole bot. Well yeah, now that they made the waist and thighs twice as big as before. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Wow. In the Predaking duel, my money is on Mastermind Creations. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I am liking Mastermind's Predaking. It's got that thick, chunky look of the G1 toy. :edit: BTW, I don't have either of the botcon toys that could ware the new battletanker set, but I want one just because it's badass. I wonder how the magnus set will look on the RTS version of the mold... Edited January 27, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
mikeszekely Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I don't want to de-rail the discussions of the not-Stunticons and not-Predaking, but I'm kind of thinking about buying my first third-party Transformer. ...no, not Hercules and/or Giant. Too rich for my blood, at the moment. Actually, I was re-arranging my Classics shelves, and thinking about how much I dislike Classic Megatron (specifically the Voyager, although the Deluxe is worse). He's not particularly poseable, his fusion cannon is on the wrong side of his arm, his colors are hideous, etc. So I was kind of thinking about getting Hegemon, who looks really good. So, opinions? I've heard he has some QC issues. He also seems to be kind of hard to find; can anyone suggest a good place to buy him? Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Just curious, is anyone preordering the Mastermind's not-predaking? There seem to be discounted price for the preorder. The first discount offer had already expired and I didn't make the move, I was thinking should I wait for the complete set to be available. Quote
eugimon Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Me, I'm putting my pre-orders in as they become available. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Odds are good that they'll reveal the next figure when the pre-order bonus window for this one expires. I'm pre-ordering as they come---no reason not to via BBTS or most of the other places that carry these---can always cancel later if you don't like how things are going---none of these will actually be out for a while. (except Breakdown, who is likely only a couple weeks away) Plus, selling off almost-new-barely-used 3rd party stuff is usually pretty easy if you decide you don't want it after you've got it. Quote

I like the figure in terms of a classics figure. He's a bit tall though compared to the dlx figures and of course optimus. Mine has a loose fusion cannon and I believe a shoulder piece has popped out several times. You'll need to be careful of his chest area near his head, it just sits in place it doesn't snap or stick together which is why there's scotch tape on it when you get it out of the box. Quote

GU-11 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Want, but can't find, much less afford. The Year of the Snake Omega will have to suffice, although even that one might burn a hole in my wallet right now. Edited January 27, 2013 by GU-11 Quote
Hikuro Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah I have no interest in Not Omega. He's just far to chunky for my taste and doesn't fit what I remember of Omega Supreme which is why I didn't like him in War for Cybertron. Quote
valhary Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 someone knows if there already a xovergen ginrai review? Quote

See, I think he looks good, but the quality just doesn't seem to be $100-good.May I ask where you got him? He doesn't seem to be at the usual spots. holly crap: image I didn't realize how much I didn't want a FoC Omega Supreme toy until I saw one. I've got the usual complaints about his tiny, skinny legs and his crotch that makes Titanium Soundwave look kinda normal, but I can't deny that it's very spot on. I don't feel like I'm settling on Year of the Snake Omega, I actually prefer him for my Classics shelves. Quote

I had to get him off ebay, I think with shipping I spent $112. Not a bad deal but I have noticed several other owners having a silver hegemon where as mine is a dark gray. I don't know if they customized theirs or not. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 BTW, the sixth member of MMC's Predaking is a saber tooth tiger, to replace Divebomb as an arm and allow Divebomb to mount on the back. Quote

He doesn't seem to be at the usual spots. , This store has Hegemon: Chimungmung. I got my Art Feather Bumblebee from them, no hassles. Apparently, there are already KO's of Hegemon, so that may explain the difference in color. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Relevant to post again---it came out a while ago, but everywhere I go only has a blurry screen-cap of it from a slide-show, not the actual drawing: That is FP's Menasor. Though if it's anything like MMC's Predaking, a lot could have changed since then. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 not sure how I feel about it. Kind of reminds me of Dreamwave Menasor with the high set shoulders. Quote
