Maybe it's the perspective they've used that makes him look a little too bottom-heavy but on principle, I'm all in as well!
Maybe it's just me, but TFC's Razorclaw seems like the best of the lot.
Good to see the 3rd party groups are just as narrow as Hasbro and Takara in their focus.
Bot-mode pics of TFC's not-Headstrong and not-Rampage up at Tformers.com.
Quick thoughts: They look pretty good IMO - not enough to bump off MMC as my #1 not-Predaking choice but still pretty good. Much fuss is being made of not-Headstrong's new alt-mode head placement in robot mode on the TFW2005 boards, but it looks alright to me. Not-Rampage's alt-mode head seems kind of large in 'bot mode. The light-piping looks great, and the lower legs are nicely kibble-free.
