yay i really wanted an alternative to BTS.
hopefully he's made a lot more playable. i found hexatron slightly difficult to just freely play with.
'Freely play with' as in easily moving none ratcheting joints?Quote:

I just noticed "Megachild" in the corner of the Carnifex teaser. Yaaaaay!
Yeah I read about people talking about Megachild but couldn't see how they knew it was included in the design until I looked at the pic more closely.Quote:

It certainly looks very much to be in the same sculpt style as Hexatron.
The render has no IDW lips but that doesn't mean anything. I just hope the face sculpt ends up like the PE upgraded Botcon Overlord. Despite the terrible choice of body for the character, that retooled head was really good.

Looks like Overlord's IDW lips have become the new 'tilting ankles' at TFW for Carnifex. People are threatening exclusively to boycott if he doesn't have the lips and not just any lips but 'Sexy pouty lips that look good.'

Naturally there is also the opposition who want a strictly 'geewunn' inspired Overlord and for him to be gigantic for base mode. The IDW People point them to BTS Toys but they don't seem interested in them despite them catering to what they want.

I think the main impeding factor to free play with Hexatron are the sword sheath ports. Moving them around and getting them in their respective sweet spots for each of the modes meant that Hexatron needed to be handled with more care.Quote:

Yeah but they are removable which should fix that.Quote:

To me the only real problem which I agree with is the scabbards but as mentioned, they are removable.Quote:
