I have no personal interest in chaos/paladin whatsoever, but you have to admit - that is one quality looking piece.

But of course. This is my home now.
You're welcome and yes it was. He is awesome. Love how evil he looks. Such a great build.
He is my 3rd 3rd party figure and im impressed.
But now that I saw that Nemisis in the booklet man oh man im loving that too.
Probably going to cost me a foot to get that. So sweet looking.
Got me a Hegemon. He's..Neat.

And he turns into what Megatron should.

A nice effort but I'm glad I him for a sale price.
What price and where if you don't mind me asking?
I thought he was long gone everywhere
From an Italian Ebay seller for about $109 plus $28 including shipping, on sale from $144.
Got these 2 courtesy of Kalel and Robot Kingdom. I like how posable they are. Just need Stormbomb to complete this trio.

Excellent!, he does look mightily evil huh? - How did you find the tightness of the ports?, were some tight as hell & others less so with yours? :)
That Nemesis does look pretty freakin' cool eh? - To think it's a completely new mold & not just using a base Official figure, I look forward to more pics of it when they eventuate myself. :cool:
They're incredible figures aren't they? - for such blocky looking figures, it's bamboozling how poseable and articulate they are, I hope you're able to obtain Stormbomb soon & for a reasonably decent price too. ;):cool:
From Heero we have a WST Thundercracker & Skywarp

Not Headstrong arrived :-)

The QC has improved since the last figure. Still feels a little lite. The foot cannon is great. One LED for this toe cannons. :-) articulation is on par with any Hasbro figure
Been looking into the KO issue particularly with the FP Insecticons... I got all three, and interestingly whilst Thundershred and Backfiery have the symbol in the bottom right corner, Stormbomb's is blank. Now, I got him off Gamblor and I really really doubt he sold me a KO or that he thought it was genuine when it is a KO. I have searched around and cannot for the life of me find a pic of a Stormbomb box that actually has the symbol there, so I can only conclude that genuine FP Stormbomb box for some reason does not have the symbol.
(This includes peaugh's review of Stormbomb, and once again, I doubt that guy didn't realise it was a KO!! And if that's not enough, neither does the pic on TFsource site have the symbol)
I really wonder about the KO boxes that have been reported, and that such an obvious thing is made different... I suspect the KO company would not want people to be able to tell different (that's after all, the nature of KO!), so why would they build in this difference?
BTW, this may be obvious as well, but I don't think it's meant to be an 'R'... but rather a stylised 'FP'.
For the record the FP insects I bought were from RK and legit.
I just had a look and the logos on all three boxes are different. Hadn't noticed that before.

Picked up CA-11: Down Force aka not-Drag Strip from the shops yesterday.
Have also reviewed him haha - http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.hk/...-aka-drag.html
With great thanks to Shirokaze: FansProject - Quake (Shockwave)...

So what's he like? I haven't even bothered to open mine yet.
Quake is a fun little freebie. Fits in Collossus' grip.
What CBraton has mentioned is dead-right & Quake was literally designed for FP's Colossus (In Alt mode anyway, I just couldn't be buggered to un-bury him from my shelf to take pics ;)) and whilst he makes for a spot-on little Shockwave with pretty decent poseability :cool:, his Alt mode is indeed a gun... if you squint slightly that is :p, as a gun it's not amazing by any stretch. :o
Cheers mate, yeah he sort of gives off that impression huh? :p
I like him in Bot mode mostly; I'm not sure if this is a wide-spread issue though, but his little head/neck's ball-joint is really quite loose and I think I'll have to use some super-glue or something in order to thicken up the ball and reduce its "Free play". :rolleyes:
Besides that little niggle (...and the "Meh" Alt mode), he's quite a cool little figure and if one can find him for $15-$20 I'd say he's worth it. ;):)
picked up fansproject protector clear version + clear rodimus for a tidy price, making this my first foray into the third party transformer avenue and i must say i'm very impressed!!
very nice figure will certainly be looking into a few more fansproject items :D
its not to bad to be honest i was pretty impressed , the legs are a little bit looser than i expected but its not a real issue plastic quality is pretty comparable to the clear plastic on rodimus
got t-bone and downforce today!
I know it's been out for a while now but a few weeks ago I received Genesis Planet X (taking advantage of Robotkingdom's restock of the item) and am mighty impressed with him. Huge figure, effectively a triple changer. Although I had to take his foot apart after I got him out of the box because one of his toes was upside down :confused:.
Anyway a very nice figure that goes well with both the WfC/FoC and Generations/Classics lines. Highly recommended.
Got these guys in the mail today - love the names iGear comes up with! Don't ask me what's with the psychedelic colors and 'Funky!' on Beachcomber... must be some hippy thing :confused:
Have opened Cogz tonight and overall quite happy with the little guy, the first impression of which is that he's not so little... easily the same size as Hench but made of tougher/stiffer plastic, and weighs more. Joints are very tight. The red is not as saturated as I have seen in some photos, which is a positive I think.
Only problem is that he had two right feet assembled in him. Opened up the left leg and tried swapping it around, but only managed to confirmed that it is indeed a right foot there. Am contacting both RK and iGear about this - would be interested if anyone has had to do this before??
Will post more thoughts and reviews in my thread when I get to them.
Igear not Outback and Gears just arrived today. :-)

Nice haul Garasaki, Vert! Did you order them straight from Igear?
Yeah I got them from igear. No real troubles. Just took them about a week to post them off. But they arrived safe and sound :-)
they both look good ...gears was one of my first transformer ...and this one looks amazing... might have to get him ... how his alt mode? can you post a short review of him ?
Good for you that you didn't have the two right feet problem I had!! I checked Veer after I discovered the issue, and am glad he doesn't suffer the disease. Looks like it's a once off and not contagious...
I got mine via RK, was ordering some other stuff. Will have to consider ordering from iGear direct next time, as I have now heard good reports, plus they replied to my query about the feet problem at 11:45pm last night, which is impressive!
I reckon he is one of the best Mini-Warriors so far, definitely in terms of sturdiness. Major gripe is that arms poseability could be better, he can't really swing his arms out sideways very far, but will aim the gun straight ahead OK. Comparing him to all the ones I have (UFO, Hench, Veer, Duneraker, Bushwhacker), only Veer matches in terms of solidity, and that's because he is a remold. Hench/Bushwhacker is less sturdy, and Duneraker is downright fragile in comparison, almost like he's from another company!
Alt-mode is rather exagerrated if you're trying to fit him into Classics, but it's uber faithful to G1. It does what I want it to - i.e. roll!! :) I love it, and for less than $40 it's a great piece (Well, OK, less than $40 a month ago, will be more than that now thanks to our plummeting dollar!).
The first line of the bio on the box cracked me up - 'What most people don't realise is that Cogz is a failed stand-up comedian' !!!
I could only found that in a twin pack? and they don't sell cogz separately :(
They're beautiful!
Yeah that's right, comes together with Bushwhacker in most sellers. Some of the retailers like BBTS and TFsource did have him alone, but they charge a premium of over $50, and that's before adding on shipping. Haven't done a search, but some might still have Cogz alone in stock.
Forget about eBay unless you're desperate... people are already trying to pass him off for over $80, which is silly given that you can still get the 2 pack from retailers!!
Anyone own those tech cards from the 80s? Are they any good and true to the originals?
My KFC not Beastbox and Squarktalk arived today and looks nice with the MP tapes
