Saw a comment somewhere suggesting this could be a triple changer. Notice the handle looks eerily similar to a set of tank treads.Quote:

The first two modes look good enough (especially that ab-crunch in robot mode). If there was a third mode it would just be a nice bonus :)Quote:

The alt modes are very G1 inspired but they have their own small surprises and engineering innovations such as the arm panel twisting for Tank mode. Instructions are also really well done and easy to follow with all modes starting from an 'initialization mode'
You like Sixshot - You certainly want Hexatron. Higher quality than any modern MP, just as tall (taller in some cases) and fits really well in either your Classics or MP shelf.
Here are some shots of everyone's favorite Phase Sixer:

Those are some amazing shots mate. If I had the spare cash, I would definitely buy it. Your images have sold me on how beautiful it is.

Predaking's going to take a monster amount of shelf space..
Tantrum is finally out.
According to Cassy Sark's Facebook page and the TFW2005 Feral Rex thread, it looks like there's an MMC Overlord in the works.
That is awesome news! He is likely to be more IDW inspired and of a more sensible size.Quote:

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.
https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/...14231044_n.jpg
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:

Plus those things are an mostly an inheritance of the G1 design, specially the chest flaps which the designers must have felt to be 'intergral' to the Sixshot character look and I agree with them. To me the only real problem which I agree with is the scabbards but as mentioned, they are removable.Quote:

It's a small jet (part of the larger, Megajet) that flies off from Overlords left arm. Featured in the Masterforce episode "Super Ginrai gets blown away in the desert?!".Quote:

In the Masterforce cartoon, Overlord used the 'jet shield' as a kind of projectile drone weapon. Since the Japanese have a need to label and announce attacks loudly in most anime, they called it "Mega Child" in pesudo english (Mega-ChildOh!).
You can see it here at 6:30.

Much like Arcee being an Office Lady in Headmasters, Mega's gender means she was always going to be put into a suitably 'feminine' role, hence the "Mega-Child" schtick.Quote:

Heh, if it's anything like Hexatrons gestation we'll have to wait till 2016 to get our MMC Overlord.
Nonetheless if they take the best elements from existing Overlord homages and maintain the robustness of Hexatron then he could be awesome.
I really don't understand how anyone could find Hexatron not play friendly, he's one of the most solid large transforming robots I've seen in years. I hope they make Carnifex the same size, in fact maybe they could make a whole Phase Sixer line. :D
@Sinnertwin, @Kup, @Kaiden, @Odey: Thank you all for your assistance ;):) - I had a feeling that it'd be something derived from Japan's "Masterforce" cartoon, added thanks -G for the cultural insight also. :cool:
@Lord_Zed: Oh god! - A Phase Sixer Line!?!, man that'd move some units! :eek::D
Now that's what I am talking about! :D

Pure. Awesomeness.
I'mn drooling.:eek:
i didn't really like the colour on the individual robots but together like that he is awesome:eek:!!
But that's the colour scheme of the G1 Predacons :confused:Quote:

How hard/easy do you think it'd be to swap his robot-mode face with Fortis once he comes out?
You got him already ispayks ...! cool...so how is he ..? how the plastic? transformation ? etc?... is he worth it.!?
There's a screw behind the head so it should be an easy swap.Quote:

Its hard to explain but getting him to hold his knives and guns is a bit of a challenge, you need to find the "sweet spot". If you keep forcing the weapons on his hands might cause stress on the plastic.Quote:

I have a couple of nit picks, one is the combined mode is too short IMO. The individual bots are massive but the combined mode is a mere 12.5", it should have been at least 14" to 15". Another is the paint apps, don't get me wrong the paint apps are great but it doesn't match plastic color, not noticeable but paint apps have a darker hue.
I think he displays well with MP's. If the combined mode is taller it would have been perfect.:D
Brilliant photos Ispayks! ;):cool:
Fortis (Headstrong) is up for early bird discount preorder on bbts now
