They are pretty expensive when you compare to the FP Stunticons which are set to go for around $50.
I hope they don't end up as blocky and awkward looking like Hercules.

While I really want these guys, I will wait until the 2nd run/gisftset comes out. It seems that the people that preorder these are the test mules to work out any QC issues, which then get fixed for the 2nd run. Seems like the TFC business model.Originally Posted by ispayks
From what we've seem so far they look pretty good in Gestalt mode. However it will all hinge on how they make Silverbolt work.

Agreed, they're asking for FP Steel Core prices at this range.
I would like to see a height comparison for these two with normal deluxes. If the limb components are deluxe or larger, then Silverbolt would likely be the size of Universe Silverbolt.

Which realistically is what they have to do to get the torso large enough. Remember that Herc and Giant torso is made up of 2 cons. Silverbolt has to be big enough to do it all on his own.
All in good time.

I don't think it'll be blocky like Herc. Hard to do with pointy jets
The $80 pricetag ain't gona budge I reckon. At that rate, going to have to give this fella a miss. Prob end up costing some $450-$500 for this set.

Hmmm, how much were the Hercules Constrcuticons again? Seems like they are a little cheaper, still big ask if they are smaller than deluxe.
Oddly enough I'm still quite a bit tempted. I'm a sucker for jet robots, but I want to see a few more pics, and some coloured prototypes please TFC.

Hercules is still around $500-550 for the set. The individual bots are still $80 on RK and $90ish on eBay.
My value perception will depend on how these figs feel in-hand. People that attended TFCON have mentioned that FP Assaulter feels quite heavy. As Steel Core was asking for $70, then Assaulter may be between $70-100 considering his size. If TFC is asking for roughly the same for Silverbolt, then they should be delivering similar quality standards.

I think these may look better than my current Superion with the add-on kit from Fansproject, but I will give these a pass.
Need to save money for Menasor!

Indeed I now have a conundrum on my hands. Menasor will be mine. No question there. But how do I go about Superion??? I was gonna hold off and get the TFC one, but now I'm wondering which one will likely go better with the FP stunticons?? Scale wise TFC's might be a bit to big, Menasor might look better next to DOTM w/FP add on Superion.
He'd be cheaper too. You see my dilemma.

I am on 'Wait and see' mode when it comes to TFC Superion. It's not a factor until we have more information in regards to size and sculpt style. This will determine if they can fit with classics or not.Indeed I now have a conundrum on my hands. Menasor will be mine. No question there. But how do I go about Superion???

At this point, I am sticking to my FP upgraded Superion but if TFC's makes more reveals and it looks really good, then the game plan will change.
