Just curious, what is it about the fig that's holding you back?Quote:

Must have been worth the wait to get them all at once!Quote:

he's an interesting departure from Fansproject's usal style, but he meshes with CHUG really well. he's also the reason I've pre-ordered Toyworld's Hardbone.
After reading the numerous reviews here I decided to get some 3rd party figures:

Loved Hegemon even more once the orange tip was removed, yet to open Assaulter yet, but he is one sturdy figure, much meatier than Hegemon.
Also got some nice shiny stickers and a "fansporoject 2012" grey sprue with a series of tiny cars, bikes and cybertronian vehicles that look like they belong to another set. Anyone have any idea as to whom?
They're supposed to represent the other Fansproject warbots on a small scale for Assualter's carrier mode. The helicopter/Car is Defender and the truck/trailer is Steelcore. I don't know who the motorcycles are, presumably unreleased/unmade characters.Quote:

Oh wow, they look amazing together! :eek:Quote:

With my terrible painting skills and nothing to hold the miniature models, this will not end well...
Well the big box Omega arrived today. Its just so so good.

I could have saved some money & bought Broadside 2 or 3 months ago... but no, I only decided that I wanted him just now & I ended up paying ebay prices for him...
So... Who's the idiot? :o
The people who don't have one? :DQuote:

My first experience with 3rd party and have jumped in feet first. :D
You will LOVE Green Giant. He is fantastic. That's the only one on youlist that I have but also have Quakewave on preorder.Quote:

I have been reading some initial reports on the UT not-Predaking and seriously hoping that there are no QC issues and that he feels like a quality figure in-hand.
I am pretty excited to be getting Giant though :) I have been wanting to order him, after seeing the reviews online, since last year.
Just hoping that Giant, TFC Uranos and FP Intimidator are all in good scale with each other.
TFC Uranus may be a little taller and not fit well with the FP combiners, same goes for the sculpt style. Giant fits in much better with the FP combiners as he is just that little shorter and similarly stylized to make him fit.Quote:

Yeah Giant does fir in batter with FP Crossfire and presumably Intimidator more then TFC's toys. Though oddly Giants individual robots are tall and fit in better with TFC's robots than they do the FP ones, who end up looking like midgets.
So yeah there is no complete perfection or universal scale, but then who would want that all these company's should be free to try their own take on the characters.
Today two new friends arrived in the mail
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...P/DSC_0488.jpg
Got the other not divebomb mainly because it was cheaper and someone had to get the other version. I do like the G1 look he has. The combiner hand is fantastic!
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...P/DSC_0490.jpg
Not Divebomb looks pretty cool in a G1ish TFC style. Going to give us the lowdown on him?
Yeah I will just need the time
Giant arrived today!! He is absolutely friggin awesome!! You were right, Trent!.
I just hope the not Predaking (UT) and not Menasor are half as good.
Of course I was right!:p
Good to hear you like it dude. He is fantastic. Some people aren't a fan of the derp face but once you see it in person it grows on you.
And I love how different each figure is. And the combined mode rocks! :)
Just found this character at my local IGA (Biggera Waters), with a "Tim the Toyman" price sticker. Looks like an import, so may turn up at the Reject Shop/Dimmeys/Corner store.
I loved the colour scheme and size - makes for a good scout. His plane mode is vaguely reminiscent ofEnergonCybertron Jetfire as a plane, perhaps a hrunk down version? The missles are a nice feature, no spring just a push to shoot.

You can see another character featured on the back, which looks very cool. There was a third (unpictured) character which is an F-35 Movie Starscream, but different transformation.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8516/8...d2a718dec7.jpg
All are about scout sized.
Agreed. :D When I first saw it, I thought, definitely gonna change the head. But then I changed it and thought..nope, the other one was better LOL. So he is sitting on my shelf with the original head. Just such an impressive bot. Did you get any of the reprolabels that are available?Quote:

Just out of curiosity, why IS it referred to as a 'derp' face? - It's been called that since the proto photos & I just don't seem to understand it, to me it looks heavily reminiscent of facial aesthetics like that of the Brave series robots. :confused:
Personally I prefer the 'Derp' face but if anyone can explain to me what's dopey about it I'd appreciate it. :p
finally got my Drone together today and he looks pretty cool :), only thing is that when i checked the packaging for him it said that the head is loose fitting so you have to use a bit of glue or nail polish to correct it. i used the glue and it has turned out fine, but i would have thought that it would have been a tight fit to start with.:confused: other than that it is a sweet looking TF overall, especially like the guns which are chromed up. so here is the pic.:D
http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psda073876.jpg
^^That looks pretty damn sweet Cranky, glad you're happy with him dude - Now if only he was available like that but in sky-blue. ;):cool:
Thanks Hursti, I do believe that you can also apply this kit to DoTM Vortex. Don't really know if he is sky blue will find out soon though as I have ordered one online. But would make a pretty sweet Whirl if it was. :DQuote:
