Looking pretty nice, but then so is everyone else's stuff lately. FP's once meteoric lead over the other 3rd party companies has diminished to only a small lead. Yet the quality of their releases has not dropped a bit. :)
I'll leave that to Michael KeatonQuote:

Brainstorm looks good in his Sci-fi 'Star Fighter' design. I am looking forward to the robot mode.
Weirdwolf looks great but the head sculpt doesn't seem aggressive enough. However that could easily change with the final paint job as the red eyes would make a huge difference there.
"Breakdown" looks great but do you think these will only be released individually, or is there the chance of a complete set down the track?
I'd say that their initial release will be individual, but I wouldn't put it pass them to release a recolours set later as the g2 stunticons. Maybe that's wishful thinking but they need to recolour the mold to get the most from their investment and the g2 recolour is a obviouse choice
Loving that Breakdown, I think I'll go all in for the Stunticons.
Looks like 3rd parties will be eating most of my budget this year, at least until August when the next LotR lego sets get released!
Weirdwolf's longer nose does make him look comical, but I think the other factors that's reducing his ferocity are lack of sharper-looking fangs/claws and perhaps he could have had his ears drawn backwards to imitate an attack pose. That being said its a very nice update to the original anime design, and I do love how they got his waist thin rather than bulky - must be a tight fit for Monzo!
Fansproject so far has not combined any moulds into a boxset, but this is the first time they're doing a full 5-member team combiner, so hopefully they will do as Maketoys did with Green Giant.
Fansproject just released their deluxe insecticons in a boxsetQuote:

The dilemma is buy each on preorder or wait for a possible box and then pay aftermarket prices if there isn't a "g1 colours" box set.
My bad, that set is sitting right in front of me too :oQuote:

I'm in for the Stunticons.
That Dragstrip looks crazy! I like it.
Is it based on anything real? It's a very odd looking racing car.
I want to like these but they just dont feel like stunticons to me, they look really nice and stuff but its just not doing it for me so far am still very interested to see Motormaster and Menasor but so far I like my customs better....
Not that it wont stop me from buying them afterall they are stunticons :P
Dragstrip = Caparo T1

Interesting choices picking an Enzo for Dead End and a T1 for Drag Strip. Not what I would have picked, those cars seem too… refined for those characters.
Still, looking awesome and PUT UP SOME DAMN PREORDERS ALREADY!!!!!!!!1!!!1!!1!
So "Wildrider" is a reshell of "Breakdown"?
It's going to pretty likely then that those two form only legs? Will be interesting to see how the feet and fists are handled on this team.
Well there is no visible combiner kibble whatsoever so who knows.
Thanks!Quote:

Really keen on the Stunticons, all look ok except for the black wildrider. Just dosen't look right.
It'll depend on how Motormaster looks before I make any decisions. I seem to love characters after watching their episode...:p;)
Good god I need these bots yesterday! :D
I truly am looking forward to these guys equally as much as MMC's Feral Rex components! ;):cool:
same. just not looking forward to the bill...Quote:

Expensive, yeah, but it's this or FoC Bruticus style figures & I know which I'd prefer. :D
Like you though I don't really want to look at the end bill when this year comes to a close. :eek:
Dammit. I was easily thinking of skipping those stunticons, but man they look niiiiice!
I think It'll all come down to the final price methinks. I can't wait to see what Motor master looks like and how they handle him!
Curses, I knew I shouldn't have perused this thread. I though I was doing so well by deciding that I didn't quite like the look of the headmasters...:p
I present to you all: Fansproject CA-09 Car Crash in Package :eek::cool:
These guys have definitely got to be imminent - Keep your eyes peeled! ;)
@Deceptic: Great minds think alike, or just have similar tastes in 3rd party toys! :D

Yep that's true at least for now so don't rely on them to get it. They have also been slow at opening pre-orders for the MMC stuff such as Hexatron and the Predacons.Quote:
