TFC Toys ARES

I know right. And they will probably screw up the chest or something and release an extra part set. -_-
Looks good so far.
Ill wait to decide which I like after seeing all 3 done.

Nice. He seems to look better than MMC's Leo Dux, which has a whole lotta torso going on (may just be an unfortunate angle). I'll be interested to see how the whole set looks when finished.

That actually looks pretty good. Much better then I was expecting. However they still have 4 bots a d the colour scheme to completely ruin yet.

I'll be sticking with MMC's....got the first 2 pre-ordered with early-bird special and though I like TFCs Leo so far, in the end with colour I always feel that the aesthetic is off, like:

MMC=Lego & TFC=Megablocks (in my opinion, in terms of aesthetics)

Nice analogy, fits pretty nicely specially when you compare Maketoys Giant to TFC Hercules (although not MMC).

I've gotta admit, it looks pretty nice. If it wasn't for MMCs offerings it'd be a must-have, as it is it's a 'Maybe I'll pick them up if the end result is good and I find them for an OK price'.
Though if they're as big as they're some people over at TFW2005 are saying they'll be I might struggle to find space to display them - the apparently smaller Feral Rex gestalt is barely going to fit on my display shelf as it is. I'm also not sure how well the individual robots will scale with the Classicsverse figures - the MMC versions already tower over your average Deluxe (as it should be IMO), but if they're too much bigger it might just make them look out of place.

Still, it does look pretty sweet, and I look forward to seeing more of these guys.

When will someone tackle Abominus or Computron ?

MakeToys is doing Computron.

That's all just speculation and fanboi talk. Until we see some comparisons we have no idea how how big it is.

Thanks :P

And yeah, I think the same with MakeToys Giant and TFC Herc as well. The reason I went with Giant over Herc was aesthetics.

Another 3P Predaking can only be good for us. Nothing like a little healthy competition in the market!

If they sat back and waited for UT and MMC to battle it out with their Predakings; there probably won't be many potential buyers left over for them to sell to. These sets are pretty pricey and a lot of collectors will only end up purchasing one of them, so I guess throwing their version into the mix nice and early is probably their best bet at selling the most.

Looks alright, though I wouldn't be surprised if these came out in some garish orangy colours

Haha yehhh. The add on kits are just a lame ass money grab scheme.

I'm committed to mastermind creations version, it looks almost perfect to me although I might pick up individual figures from other versions. When will someone tackle Abominus or Computron ?
