Fansproject Function X

[SharkyMcShark]

The concept art makes it clear that the five will be Minerva, Chromedome, Snapdragon, Wierdwolf and Mindwipe

Definitely the not-Headmasters according to Lord_Zed's comment with kup's amendment. TFormers.com also speculated on not-Computron -- probably because of the head to body ratio makes the 5 look like Causality-sized toys(?). However since FOC Combaticons, I prefer not a combiner team of 5 to be entirely made of the same size scale.

Also, Toyworld's doing not-Hardhead. Did FP and TW have a friendship going on? Hopefully FP or another third party group of the same calibre picks up not-Highbrow, otherwise I've still got RTS Highbrow as the out of character stand in

Skullcruncher in optimus pirme colours (from city of steel was it?)

that could be worth picking up

I dig it But Skullcruncher was my only Headmaster from childhood, so I really want one in its original colours -- especially that crazy magenta.

I'll think about considering thinking about considering getting Chromedome, once I see pics.

BBTS have the first Function X figure up for pre order, but only until December 16th. The below is from the product page:

FansProject and BigBadToyStore are teaming up to help out needy children this holiday season! FansProject and BigBadToyStore will be donating $20 (wholesale cost) worth of toys to the Toys for Tots organization for every piece of the Function X-1 figure preordered by December 16th. We'll gather up the huge donation on December 17th and deliver it to Toys for Tots and we'll post images shortly after that.

This figure is a four wheeled vehicle that converts to robot mode and it features two scoped rifles - that is all we can tell you for now!

Preorder now and help us make Christmas memorable for many needy children.

Speculation on TFW seems to say that the figure will be not-Chromedome and will be a January release.

Anyone else would have a hard time convincing me to buy a TF sight unseen, but FP have a good record so I threw down my pre order.

I hardly think that this is going to be the only release of this character, but its for a decent cause, so they can have my money early. Also, depending on the timing of the second run, it may see a price rise.

Very interesting. I will certainly buy it before the deadline.

Hmm, as much as i want it before the deadline, i just can't afford it. Too much stuff i got on order from bbts that comes in January.

Thanks Trent!

Pre-ordered, I was expecting to pay another $30ish for one of these (about the same price point as Steel Core), so this was just perfect! The donation to kids is a nice extra, considering that $20 on toys goes much further than here.
