I just saw the facebook post. Can anyone work out where his forearms disappear to?

Very nice.

I didn't realise the original headsculpt looked so Chromedome-like. My original impression of Sixgun has always been from the G1 cartoon.

Perhaps his forearms become additional towers for city mode?

Edit: I guess that seeing how this TFC release looks Voyager-sized, it may be ironic that once the price gets released this figure might cost as much as the Hasbro Metroplex many of us bought on sale (recent Target 20%)! I'd start setting aside $100 :rolleyes:

They go back to being on Devastator! :p

Looks pretty decent except for the Gorilla arms (though I can see what they'd be used for). Looking forward to seeing a painted version of this...
Based on the prices of other third party TF's I'd say double your estimate Suspectimusprime :cool:

To me this looks pretty freaking sweet! I am certainly interested. Haven't really been excited by a TFC toy before but this is hitting all the right points.

I like the big gorilla arms. It gives Sixgun some character as the original G1 partsformer had nearly none. However I am at a loss on where those 'Devastator' arms fit in 'guns' mode.

Also lost track of where the barrels of the shoulder cannons go.

You were asking for this in another thread. Looks like somebody up there was reading your messages!

Perhaps you should be wishfully thinking more often! :p

The gorilla style is definitely very striking. If he wasn't apparently a complete partsformer like the original, I'd love to see him marketed as a unique character like FP Steel Core (only because, I couldn't imagine paying 3rd party prices for a partsformer and he pretty much does look like an original character).

Somewhere in the third party FOC Metroplex thread?

They actually managed to make Sixgun look good, I'm suprised.

Big hands and square torso, very TFC style, and the add ons make Metroplex's silhouette far more g1.

The only major turn off is he'll probably cost nearly as much as I paid for Metroplex for a partsformer.

I agree with everyone on the price, this would have to be $80 or lower for me to consider it...

But goddamn do I want this guy! :eek::D
The complete-anime proportions of this bot, coupled with his size & the fact that he actually transforms into an appropriate gun? - TFC actually have my attention for once! :cool:

$50 - 70 for this guy would probably even get me paying for him, truthfully. But no more than that.

Any word on how the 'Devastator' arms work when it comes to Metroplex?

Do any of these transform?

I know the original toy didn't, but it would a cool update if they made this more than a parts former.

I thought TFC's aesthetics were stretching scaling with Deluxe-sized figures, but these next two companies has just blown everything out of the water! :eek:

If they did then they would be giant Targetmasters!

Well, they say things happen in "3's" don't they? :p:D

I'm still greatly in favour of TFC's interpretation and don't see anything with the other 2 that will sway me at this point - Sixgun McBeef-Fist still has my future dollars. ;):cool:

I'll make a decision when I get an idea of what they expect people to fork out for a giant parts former. I'm hoping it will be reasonable but I'm expecting it to be otherwise.
