Wow.... is this an add on for an existing toy, or are they making a completely new figure?

Who is impactor... was he in the wreckers / LSTOW?

Yeah, he's a former leader of the wreckers. As for whether or not this is an add-on, no idea. This is all that has been shown thus far.

Edit: I win Hursti! :cool:

LSTOW is the only place I know him from and as for whether it's a complete new figure or just a replacement head for say, I dunno, Straxus/Darkmount? - Is anyone's guess at this point. :)

Impactor was the original leader of the Wreckers Marvel G1 (UK):

I pick Generations Warpath to use the head with.

His alt mode is somewhat similar

all you would have to do is replace the head and also a harpoon and maybe a cannon.

Ah! - So there are some loose ties between IDW's LSOTW and Marvel's G1 Wreckers is there? - Very intriguing! :cool:

I reckon it'll be him or Darkmount/Straxus, but either way, you know if this thing comes with a body it'll no doubt be a straight KO with slight retool. :p

I'd say Darkmount/Straxus as well, seems more fitting. Now I just have to find another one and repaint it and wait for my head :p

In this case I'd say they're more than loose, since Nick Roche and James Roberts grew up on Marvel UK and have been writing and drawing TFUK fanfic for years (and IDW writer Furman invented the Wreckers.)

That head looks great.

Thanks :)

Oh...I really hope this a full figure. I've mentioned my lack of toy customising skill before aqnd I'd really rather pay for someone to do it for me. Even if it betrays Hasbro's copyrights...

As Sky Shadow mentioned, it's much more than loose ties. If you read the Marvel UK stories involving Impactor and then you read LSOTW, you will noticed lots of tributes and easter eggs making references to those Marvel issues.

Would definitely be interested in a full figure- from what I garnered from TFW it seems Igear posted up a banner of all the Wreckers from LSTOW sometime ago- kup was first to be done off the list... I guess they will eventually do the entire crew.

This might be their big "bomb" they mentioned -to win over the fans... :cool:

Re: Impactor- Can we get more pics... what's his alt mode like?

I-gear doing a full figure without use of a remold :eek::p

Still, Impactor looks promising so far....

That made me laugh ridiculously earlier today - Which sucked because I was trying to pinch my nose due to a Really Weird, Phantom Nose Bleed! :confused::p:D

Wow... nice.. clearly retooling of gen warpath...

I know its bad, but I still want it.

Taking a mould that is currently still being sold by Hasbro?
This will really test to see whether Has/Tak is willing to do something about this.

:eek:....This is a must-have for me.

Hope it doesn't blow my budget.

Will be interesting to see what Hasbro does with this.

But I want this, looks so sweet.

The alt mode sucks a bit but the robot mode rocks!

I would most certainly get it.

I have a warpath in front of me. The engineering is very similar but the mold is not. This isn't a straight rip-off like the MP coneheads or Bumblebee, the sculpt was made from scratch.

Mold sculpted details are completely different, the only thing similar is the engineering, otherwise it's all original parts.

Holy crap. If the finished version looks anything like that, it will be awesome.

Ahh ok. On first glance it did resemble warpath in the chest, thighs, and arms. But if it is that different from warpath, makes the decision alot easier for me. :D

Pending price, QC and final product, this is so bought.

Based on that render, completely new figure but with almost the same engineering as Warpath so the toy would transform in a very similar manner.

As far as I can tell, they are doing a complete new figure. Otherwise everyone would have to paint a new Warpath (and track one down)

I love the bashed-up-die-cast look - if they can achieve that with the real thing, I will be truly impressed.

lol he is one of the few toys in which paint chips would be welcomed :D

Nice, Hopefully he will work ok with the FP Springer like fellow too.

So between this guy, Ironhide and the Kup heads,is this Igears new nicked from IDW line, or even the unofficial Roche line?

Oh wait Roche didn't do the art for Ironhide, so I guess its the Unofficial IDW line.

That means they need to make Monstructor next right?:D
