FansProject: Retro-Future

[Sky Shadow]

The obviously made-up story about the Megazeros being lost by a crane operator playing with a Megazero is a joke to 'explain' why the toys are coming in Sonokongesque Korean packaging.

Super impressed with this. Hope there's a second production run.

FPcore got back to me today saying that orders for a 2nd run are not far off

Excellent news, still sucks that they're an FPC exclusive - Canadian post prices suck.

My final three Glacialords arrived today too - annoyingly they had been opened by customs, but there doesn't seem to be any real damage except to the boxes. I love the 'sun fading' on Tusker's box and the 'Korean' Megacero.

There's nothing in the instructions or packaging about Tusker's third mode that we saw in early images. Do you think the mode is meant to be or a 'fan' mode (not a Fansproject mode)?



Artillery waterslide!

Man... I would've loved these guys - Nice pictures though and as for the "Fan" mode - I think it works.

I'm not sure if the one above is right, but I do assume Fansproject intentionally designed a third 'base' mode of some sort, like Onslaught's battle station mode, Motormaster's ramp mode, Hot Spot's repair bay mode, Scattershot's rocket launcher mode, Silverbolt's launching ramp mode, or Hun-Gurrr's soft serve ice cream dispenser mode. For me, this sort of configuration seems plausible:

I'm almost certain they did dude, considering the lengths they've gone to with everything about these "Retro-Future" figures, it seems practically impossible for them to of omitted such a thing - I'd go so far as to say that they've deliberately omitted the reference, as this was the case with the Hasbro releases of the "Scramble City" combiners wasn't it?

The Hasbro instructions had all the modes except for Hun-Gurrr's one-armed bandit mode - in fact instructions are pretty much the only place most of the modes are even referenced. Hardreturn at TFW2005 has worked out that Tusker also connects to Metroplex!
