    i love this!!! (and its not just cos im a bruticus nut.. well... maybe it is... ).
    those articulated hands are just awesome!!!

    my only 2 gripes are:
    1) there is no chest shield
    2) FP should have just made a complete giftset with their take on all 5 figures rather than upgrade hasbros junk. Apart from the fact that the 2 new figures that FP designed are far superior compared to the designs of the original 3 hasbro figures, thus looks a bit out of place, the entire system still relies on those crappy energon combiner joints which have a tendency to pop apart when you to try to transform/pose bruticus. Even more evident with the universe reissues. With a full and proper giftset, FP would have given us a better/stronger connection system for all 5 new figures.

    Dont get me wrong, i'm still gonna buy at least 2 pairs, the above was just something i noticed.

    I totally agree that would have been best but the price for the full set would have probably ended up being $250-$300 or so. I don't think many people would go for that.

    I reckon that for their Superion kit, they should redo Silverbolt and maybe a limb or two. Silverbolt really sucks in that set and his crap design makes the whole figure unstable.

    Meh, if you take the time to look at it, you'll see it's not that great.

    The two original toys look way out of place.
    The back cannons dwarf its head. It's not the sdf-1.
    The shuttle is way too long, (it's not macross frontier) and the feet can't sit flat due to it having wheelies.
    Ok, I see that by the time I got home the "fanboy" and "spoo****" references are gone.

    I considered writing an objective reply that goes along the lines of 'third party products are so ingrained in everyday life, they're ubiquitous. Just think 3rd party products that are used with iPhones like software, covers, case protectors; or third party products like AMG kits, rims, spoilers etc for cars... list goes on....'

    But I think I'll just say this.

    That's the point isn't it. You don't know what you are missing.

    My sentiments exactly Kup, who could turn up such an awesome set of Combaticons when all HasTakTom give us, is this :

    Conceptually (for me at least), that is even worse than the vanilla Energon combiners. At least the limbs on those transformed!

    3rd Party figures rock!

    Looking pretty good, I'm not a huge fan of paying big bucks to upgrade my TF's, however when new toys and this level of detail are involved.......

    By the looks of this thing the only thing that would make it better is if they included alternate heads for the Hasbro Combaticons.

    I'm sure you would have said the same thing about the first add-on kit. Don't worry, something better will follow this in the future and you'll say that again.

    Nope. I still don't get it. Sure I watched the video, sure the new robots look good, but, even after I pointed out my percieved flaws, you guys are unbelivable. Must. not. critique. anything. or else get ostracized for it.
