Small 3rd party BBTS haul today



Perfect Effect Motobot Aranea, Fansproject Quadruple-U and Fanstoys Quakewave/

I've only had the chance to open Quakewave, but he's amazing. It's definitely Masterpiece quality and the led features are so cool I really don't want to swap out the laser for the show accurate underslung tube arm.

[Megatran]

Couldn't agree with you more about Quakewave. Boy is he heavy, unlike MP-10 Prime which feels super light.

Finally got around to taking some Bot mode shots of these 4 after having them for about a month!

[Mythirax]

Those are some epic poses and shots!

Yeah those are awesome shots Hursti! Really makes me excited for Diesel and super annoyed at the delays at the same time.

Cheers guys!

I cannot wait for Diesel's emanate release either, especially out of annoyance of the constant delays, but if these 4 are anything to gauge him by? - he'll certainly be worth the wait.

These guys are fantastic in either Bot or Alt mode; with the former being incredibly articulate, capable of pulling-off their Box art poses (Which my shots are actually based on ), and the later being super-clean, free rolling vehicles of child & adult dreams alike!

Where they disappoint me though is in their transformations; they are comprised of extremely tight, difficult & fragile manipulations that, after having being spoiled by the utter brilliance & ease of MP's Sideswipe & Prowl, feel almost completely off-putting and this saddens me.

The thing is, however, these finicky transformations are 100% essential in achieving the amazing Bot & Alt modes that FansProject have realised at this form-scale/size; it's this factor that I find redeems them in my eyes as the engineering challenges presented by these Causality-Stunticons are immense, being aimed at adult collectors, but means that when it comes to forming Intimidator he is going to be an incredibly sturdy Gestalt - Much like his cousin Giant.
