big F Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Me too. Defensor was one of the more marketed Combiners, and one that I got back in the day. Inferno would be an easy one the original G1 was nearly there just add in a bit more articulation and slight detail here and there and bam!! your done. the blockyness was part of the design IMO. Does any where actually have light blue fire trucks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Tons of new pics of FP's Stunticons, but I'm on my phone and can't easily embed.

Kurisama Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 AWESOME! Preordered immediately - I can't stop fiddling and posing T-Bone and Car Crash, looking forward to the rest of the set. Motormaster looks awesome to me. DAT trailer, so chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Motormaster was always a bit meh It seems that the trailer extension is just combination parts/weapons, it would have been nice to see that stuff worked into motormasters robot mode but I guess we can't have it all.

Hikuro Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Looks like front can will be his arms versus his feet, I can dig that. But also sorta looks like there's a waist cape thing going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest disappointment for me in regards to a modern update to a g1 combinor is the lack of a swivel cab. Basically the dam thing can make a right or left turn.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm not sure what to make of this: Toyworld IDW Prime. I can't help feeling that this will be upstaged by Has/Tak's own offering of an IDW inspired Prime. I just have this hunch that the Legends version that's hitting stores soon is just a precursor for a much larger versionvthat may be released for the big 30th anniversary. Meh, it's probably just wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 You know, I've never liked the '06 classsics prime and for the longest time I've been wanting someone to do a better, more G1-esque prime figure. And yet, now that someones doing what I've always thought they should do I don't know how I feel about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks more like a good update to the classics Prime than a good representation of the Don Fig design. It misses the layered look of the IWD version that makes it so unique. The head I don't care but the legs are flat and boring and the chest is missing something.

eugimon Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There's just something about toyworld's aesthetics in general that doesn't work for me. I like the prime design but this slightly soft, rounded and squished version doesn't click for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 For right now I'm on the fence for the Not Opti. Parts aren't flush in vehicle mode and I hope that's corrected. But I do agree that the layered look from the IDWverse is lost in this. Would I buy it though? Mmmm, if they don't fix the vehicle mode I'll say no. Unlike anime52k8, I DO like the classics 06 Prime. But if this doesn't have the flush parts fix, or some kind of a really cool gimmick (like a matrix opening chest) I'll pass. Their megatron, despite some issues, is the best Megatron around in a long ass time. Now as for their Brainstorm, I think it's horrible. His vehicle mode is a big rip off to the X-Wing, and the robot mode is ghastly looking compared to Smart Robin. Since I didn't get Hardbone, chances are I wont get this Not brainstorm either. As for the Throttlebots, haven't gotten the other 2, still not sure I will....I think I'm just waiting to see Goldbug before I go off on a shopping spree. Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm waiting for is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Not crazy about not-Optimus. Severely lacks the IDW design's slimmer, athletic proportions, and the head sculpt looks like it could do with a lot of improvement. I'm almost positive Has/Tak can make a much better toy...as long as they stick to what they've been doing for Generations voyager Springer.

anime52k8 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 People really need to stop buying stuff from crazy devy, it was funny a couple years ago when they started doing this 300+ unnecessary upgrade sets for a single figure at $30+ a pop, but now it's just sad.

anime52k8 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Every time we get new pictures 3rd party predacons, I care less and less about Unique toys version and get increasingly close to jumping on board with MMC's. I mean, the Beasticons look like really nice neo-classics style, modernized G1 Predacons. They also look incredibly boring when compared to MMC's terrifying robo-animal war god.

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 There's no contest between UT and MM's Predaking offerings. The beefy legs make him look more monstrous, and will be great contrast when displayed with Giant, Bruticus, and even Uranos. I liking the big feet too; it'll just add more stability for the added bulk of the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
