dizman Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Kar Krash even comes on a G2 card....... I want it so bad! Not sure if I would buy the whole G2 menasor set, maybe just KK and Downforce if his colors were EXTREME enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looks like an MP to me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Looks like an MP to me haha is it me or did they elongate the legs a bit or make them thinner? like an mp grimlock with scoria's platforms, the legs look a little too supermodel long.

M'Kyuun Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The dino legs look the same to me from left to right; the upper back legs look too bulky compared to the lower leg, but they're the robot's arms so there's probably not much that can be done. They did a nice job capturing the curvature of the stego's back in the right pic. Looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think it's the same head, but the lighting and angle of the head in the right photo gives an altered impression. If I'm wrong, then I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hot Spot is looking good. Defensor was the first and only combiner I went to the trouble of collecting as a kid. I had a couple Constructicons, a couple Combaticons, and one Predacon. Kind of wished I had a complete Devastator, but then I got into other things.

Valkyrie2008 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I use to own Hot Spot and the rest of the Defensor team, this one I'm not feeling it. It looks kind of like Spiderman with big pants. I'll have to pass on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I keep looking at the Fasproject M3 set and really feel the urge to get it. The price is a bit steep and I have to wait for another month due to the YF-30 and VF-25G Tornado Parts. I really loved the Stunticons as a kid. I only had three of them and no Motormaster and always wondered why they are so similar. The new Hasbro Menasor looks ok but I can't get over the fact that Wildrider is missing because this one was my favorite of the ones I had. Maybe I will only get the Hasbro one.

There is also a very G1 looking one by a new company called Bold Forms. They showed a proto on TFCon: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.632677353484671.1073742110.407873945965014&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks Twoducks but I really like the Fansproject design cues and I love the M3 head sculpt which is something most companies get wrong. And I also love the car choices for the limb bots. The only thing I would buy in an instant would be a M3 in G2 colors. From what I heard this is highly unlikely. A different topic: Is there a release date for Toyworlds Black Orion. Most places either don't have it listed or are not up to date on the release date.

Looks great. You already know that the car limbs just plug there but the rest is really neat. People call Diesel a nightmare to tranform but compared to some of the complex valks it is a piece of cake. It just takes time. I find ransforming it very fun. Posability isn't that great on the legs (weak ankles) and some parts like to unlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I know of the TFCon exclusive but Vangelus said on his podcast that there are no plans to do the other 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 yeah, that's sad to here, as is the fact that G2 breakdown is once again a con exlusive, and that so is the extra awesome deco they're doing for their dinobots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Actually you can still get G2 Kar Krash (breakdown) from ages three and up http://www.agesthreeandup.com/fansproject-ka-09-kar-krash-ages-three-and-up-exclusive/ I heard somewhere that if G2 KK sells well enough FP may consider doing the rest but that's probably just marketing to sell the remaining stock.

Valkyrie2008 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It's FansToys, not GigaPower, but we knew what you meant! I like the head sculpt, we'll have to see the Dino mode. I'm still waiting for GigaPower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I love how Fanstoys manages to hide the alt-mode legs in robot-mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I like the legs on the outside better. Faithful to the original that way. I kind of like the dinobots to have a bit of kibble/dino parts hanging off, in that it reminds you that they are dinosaurs the same way that Prowl's chest still looks like a car.

Twoducks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Fantoys keeps running scared I see. They do a 180º on that line art they put up for preorder months ago and try to copy the Gigapower design What happened to having your own creative vision? We have three Predakings but at least they all look different. But Gigapower should really hurry up and show their other dinobots... Fantoys needs something to copy for their last two dinobots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) It's gonna be big trouble if this does turn out to be a stolen takara design. It will put both companies at risk for litigation if they come after giga. Assuming the rumor is true of course. They are basically the same with minor tweaks here and there.

David Hingtgen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Complete 180? I fail to see a massive change between the drawing and the latest renders----looks like normal "artistic idealism" vs "physical reality". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 From the knees up it's a completelly new design. - Hips on the design follow the look of the Scoria and Grimlock hips, the proto has a Gundam style skirt like the Giga one (down to having a side skirt that neither Scoria or Grimlock have). - Abs and lower torso proportions have been changed. - Chest has completely changed shape. Before it wanted to look like the G1 toy now looks like the Giga pecs. - Shoulders have been moved forward a lot. - Upper arms are small now. - Forearms are bigger now. - All that change from "artistic idealism" to "physical reality" and yet the lower legs are practically 100% the same; they just trim the exterior part that creates the slope for the neck (slope that Giga also has). You could say they stuck their dino kibble storing lower legs into a thinner version of the Giga design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 They are really packed individually so you will be able to order them separately. By ordering both you get an extra box with bonus items (the usual buncha stuff that once passed close to their hands during the cartoon).
