(fan-custom) TFC-004 Gear-of-war weapon set

[kup]

Looks like the colors are no longer random:

However I can't say that I am a fan of the missile design nor the colors chosen but at least now I know what I am getting. The ladder and autoscout is what keeps this set going but I am a bit perplexed at the ideas they keep coming up with in regards to the missiles.

Instead they should have tried to mimic G1 weapon coloring for the present Universe figures such as Mirage and Sidewsipe instead of this randomness.

A sword for Grimlock would also have been very nice.

Silver and Black Missle - ok
Red - not so ok.

Still very interested, though I'd want more than one set in order to have more Silver and Black Missles.

Hrmm - now that they're closer to release, I'm actually quite stoked about these - It's going to look nice for Alert- but you can't do it again for BOTH SSwipe and Mirage :\

That's the inherent flaw <_>

What do you all reckon?!

Why not?

Why not?

Not the way they've done in the pic -
SOMEONE needs to be using a red missile launcher - as there's:
RM - RME - RML (red missile, red missile end, red missile launcher)
BM - BME - BML (black missile, black missile end, black missile launcher)
CM - CME - CML (chrome missile, chrome missile end, chrome missile launcher)

In the images - there was:
From left to right -
Sideswipe: CM, BML, BME
Mirage: CM, CME, BML
Alert: RM, CML, CME

So, unused:
RME, RML, BM

Overused:
CM, CME, BML

Basically, the Red Missile Launcher, Red Missile End and a Black Missile were unused, and overused a Chrome Missile, Chrome Missile End and a Black Missile Launcher...

the missle to me looks all the same, isn't it suppose to be 2 sizes the same the other a bit chunkier, realising that why would the red missle (supposely for Mirage) be so big?? . annouying because they indicated the missles variety wouldn't be random

my combo would be swap the front for the silver and red missle for Red alert and sideswipe respectively and use all black for Mirage (would be annouyed if he gets a thin missle type)

but the set is worth it for the Tape (TFC has rewind holes which Igear's scout doesn't ) and the extra accesories for Inferno's is great , also based on FP images i reckon these weapons are better, e.g FP Mirage gun clips on by covering the vehicle while TFC doesn't
