ErikElvis Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Im digging fakewave but somethings not quite right. Perhaps the sheen of him? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Too intensely purple. Should be a touch less saturated. Quote
Twoducks Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 "Quake" wave... you just gotta love those 3rd party names. After MMC overwhelming answer to the competition with their robo bull, my wallet pretty much belongs to their Predaking Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Too intensely purple. Should be a touch less saturated. I also think he needs another color on his torso to break up all the purple. Just some grey/silver on his waist or pelvis would do the trick. Edited January 3, 2013 by anime52k8 Quote
GU-11 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Does it have the sound-effects trigger gimmick of the G1 toy? It obviously lights up, but I don't see a trigger in alt mode. Quote
big F Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Looks good to me the trigger bit could be missed out to avoid all the nasty import issues with fake/real guns and painting the barrels bright Orange. Am I seeing a Primer Grey Soundwave there too ?? Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I don't think they are going to be releasing their version of Soundwave with the new MP coming out. It looked horrible anyways with all the engraved detail they added to it. Shockwave looks good, but it does need some gray in the torso area to break up that solid mass of purple. Looks good to me the trigger bit could be missed out to avoid all the nasty import issues with fake/real guns and painting the barrels bright Orange. Am I seeing a Primer Grey Soundwave there too ??

anime52k8 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I'm not really a fan of chromedome, but it looks better than I thought it would. Quote
ps99042 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm actually starting to like not-Chromedome but it looks kind of small for the price they're asking. Still on the fence about getting Warbot Assaulter - any opinions guys? Quote

Colors are a bit bright and a bit more springer than hardhead but still cool none the less. Quote
Arthurius Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Where can we get Fansproject toys, other that Big Bad Toys? I want to get the new Quake Wave once pre-orders are up, and I live in Canada. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 TFsource.com robotkingdom.com capturedprey.com there are probably others but those are the one's I can think of off the top of my head. Quote
slaginpit Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 I'm not really a fan of chromedome, but it looks better than I thought it would. I liked the review so much I ended up buying it . There is something to 3PC that are so cool Where can we get Fansproject toys, other that Big Bad Toys? I want to get the new Quake Wave once pre-orders are up, and I live in Canada. I order from www.automatontoys.com They are based in Montreal so 3 day shipping. Flat rate shipping really great service and great Price! Quote
Twoducks Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Silverbolt gained some weight and Uranos is giving a GrumpyCat frowny face (probably because of the watered down scheme it has… and that white that looks a bit yellowish already). The drone bot’s scheme makes it look like a KO. I’ll get Eagle but I still need to see a full color combined pic of this one to go for the full team. Quote
Hikuro Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I'm pissed I missed out on CODE I really wanted him. Only place I can find him at is ebay for double the value which for a deluxe scale is not worth the price. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Surprisingly, it seems Predaking's left arm will be out before his right leg: And he's 75 bucks at BBTS if you order before the end of the week. And currently they're saying this guy will end up being a little taller than Hercules, yet made of only 5 bots---so these have to be pretty big figures. (claimed 18 inch wingspan) http://www.bigbadtoy...011&mode=retail Quote
ps99042 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Definitely tempted to get Not-Divebomb but does anyone know how the quality of Mastmind Creation's product is? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Generally good, but Cyclops (HoS Shockwave) definitely had some "small hooks/tabs that liked to break off"---but they are aware of the issue, and are hopefully addressing it for future designs. (IIRC Cyclops even had a running change to strengthen the worst offenders) Quote
CoryHolmes Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Not!Hardhead = Want Not!Superion= Possible Not!Divebomb= Want Not!Predaking= DOWANT!DOWANT!DOWANT!DOWANT!DOWANT! Wallet: "Not happening, buddy. Try again later." Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I'm soooooooooooooo tempted by Grindrod and the upcoming not-Throttlebots, but I think the price will scare me away... Quote
Twoducks Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 FINALLY something new from the Fansproject NotMenasor. i really need to see Motormaster. If the rumor that Menasor is a skeletal former is true, I'll probably just pick him. Quote
GU-11 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Not-Breakdown looks awesome. Does that hole on his crotch have something to do with his combiner feature? Quote
mass driver Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Brainstorm and weirdwolf both look great. Brainstorm was one of the only headmasters I ever had so it has a special place in my heart. Quote
RD Blade Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 The Stuntibots and Headcommanders look excellent. It's a shame that official homage products seldom (if at all) come very close to hitting all the marks these things do. Quote
VFTF1 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 DagThose are beautiful. Hasbro is really underperforming compared to this stuff.. Quote
dizman Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Don't forget that hasbro has to stay in the kids 8 and up range so not every toy can be a masterpiece like fansproject. Sharp edges on toys kill children dontcha know? I'm looking forward to not-menasor but the lack of pictures and information is annoying. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I'm looking forward to not-menasor but the lack of pictures and information is annoying. That's just how they do it---instead of more teasers for a year and a half, they show almost-finished stuff then have it at your house a month later. I wouldn't be totally surprised if a completed Menasor is in people's homes 12 weeks from now. (they wanted to show all 5 at the previous reveal, but they weren't all ready---so if Breakdown is now 99% final, the others must be close) Quote
Atharun Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That Non-Brainstorm and Non-Weirdwolf look goos so far. I would love to see Cloudburst (Non pretender shell!) done. That, IMO, would rock. Breakdown looks bad ass as well. Quote

Takara can't use that same excuse, since it caters more to the adult collector. But at the rate they're going with the MP line, it might take years before they're even through with half the G1 cast. Still holding on to hope for a TT MP official Menasor and Bruticus, though. Quote

Well it seems Takara has sped up their production of the MP line before interest dries up like on their main line. IE I think MP Jazz and Smokesreen are next Quote
