Appears to be a homage to Powermaster figures. I am iffy on this until I see colour pictures. Though it does look to have high articulation.

Am i the only one who thinks this is a Roadbuster homage?
The 1st one is supposedly meant to be a homage to that pre-G1 Dreamwave Grimlock, I can't remember the specific name of that line of comics though sorry. :o
I can see Roadbuster in the sculpt though in certain areas. ;):)
For Posterity:
Man, this will ROCK
And it was from War Within, my favourite comic series ever.
That's the bloody name of it! :rolleyes:Quote:

I honestly don't see this as a homage to anyone. It looks to be a completely new character. The only thing resembling War Within Grimlock is the pipes coming out of the shoulder - Take that out and he doesn't really resemble any existing character.
This looks very good but I need to see colored pics. It also looks like in these promo pics, the waist is mistransformed. The pictures shown at Botcon had the waist secured in place.
You make a fair point Kup, if the colour scheme is good though I'll be more than happy to retcon him into the Hurstyverse. ;):DQuote:

Hmmm not sold on this guy yet.
now...if it were a Combining Dreadwind/Darkwing homage....
I don't think it's a one-for-one replica of WW Grimlock but it's a very strong homage if you look at it in both modes. Much like Generations aren't straight G1, this very much fits taht molld of release that FP have been going for.Quote:
