TFC Toys Next Project: Superion!

[Ultra Mackness]

This sounds very cool! I never really got super excited about the constructicons when I was younger since I must have missed the phase where I was supposed to get excited about construction equipment (I jumped straight to time travel and space lego thanks to Dr. Who!). But the notion of some very accurate transforming jets! That combine into a bigger gestalt! Okay, I'm excited by this.

Oh god between this and all the Hasbro stuff coming out I'll need a bank loan

Very cool. Very exspensive. Is this because maketoys are doing computron? Will they fix the supposedly many issues that Herc had?

I can see the look on my wife's face now----->

Love the idea but I will wait to see what the actual execution is. I am not a fan of the 'TFC style' when it comes to sculpting and engineering.

A bit worried about the 'TFC scale'. Not too comfortable with Voyager sized Aerialbots.

Does this mean that TFC Superion might possibly be taller than Fansproject Bruticus?

It's very much a curve-ball as I don't think many were expecting this, not to mention that it'll be putting their Computron on the back-burner which seemed further along in production.

The past couple of years have been rather expensive to say the least, in being a TF collector; A trend which looks to continue into the future for certain.

It is possible that they've decided to do this in response to Maketoys doing their own Computron, as they may want to avoid the issues that have arisen with Hercules & Giant; Either the 2 companies are thinking along very similar lines or there is a rat in the midst, I tend to think the former as 3rd Parties directly competing against each other will not do either party any favours IMO.

To be perfectly honest, I'm again with you on this one Kup; I'm not the biggest fan of TFC's design aesthetic (Not that it's bad it's just not for me ), but I'm also very content with my FansProject enhanced Classicsverse Superion.

I can almost give you a certainty dude that this TFC Superion set will be bigger than FansProject's Colossus (Bruticus); TFC's Hercules towers over Bruticus and if this Superion set is to be 'in-scale' with Hercules, poor old Bruticus will be looking rather small compared.

Sorry to be a little offtopic, but in regards to Hercules, can anyone point me to a link which has your negative sentiments toward the toy that I can read? Many of you seem to favor Giant. I'm trying to decide between the two and I'm liking Herc better to be honest...
