ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[soundwave]

Yeah this seals it, Giga wins this round. I like the leg transformation better but everything else it completely succeeds at.

Also, Masterpiece Gobots! Not by Takara, but SoC Machine Robo figures by Bandai, based on the toyline that Gobots were adapted from.

Do you know what I actually really like those MP style Go-Bots.
I actually had Go-bots before I got into Transformers (Still remember taking Cy-Kill to Infants School & losing a wheel & getting Kopter while staying at my aunts in Harlow, mum gave us all £5 & I got Kopter while my Cousin bout some Return of the Jedi Ewoks )

Would be interested in seeing prices as I may grab a couple

After some consideration I've decided to get out of TF collecting and will be ebaying my collection over the coming weeks.

Try as I might, it's just not fun any more and the amount of petty pissing contests within the online fandom are so tiresome it's barely worth trying to discuss stuff.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!
Seriously man did I just read that??
WHY???

I know things get a bit funny with the community...we're all hyper opinionated but just roll with it, it's only online anyway, we all have differing opinions & it's bound to happen.

Don't do it...you'll regret it...and so will we

Oh & can I have your Quakewave

Are GoBots Third Party or Bandai?

Are GoBots Third Party or Bandai?

Bandai from what I can gather

Looks like they are being tagged with their Soul of Chogokin line so should be high quality & with diecast.

Hai guys, just watched the gigapower video.. was just wondering, during its dino mode, where do we place his autobot symbol? since we have to split its head at the center during the transformation. Thanks.

Oh, that's awesome.

Depending on price, I guess I'm in! Always wanted a Turbo.

Obviously, Gobots suck, but those figures look pretty damn sweet, just as transformable robot figures.

I think they both look mighty impressive there but damn if the GP figure just doesn't pip FT's version.

I do wish there was more on the rest of the line though, don't want them to be a one hit wonder.
Would love to see just how imposing Grimlock would look or even Sludge.

From GigaPower's facebook page:

Just taking a break from busy production, I thought I could share some of my thoughts that I have been dying to share with you. We have been receiving a lot of positive comments here on our facebook and elsewhere as well. Reading your comments has become a hobby of mine. All this excitement and encouragement from you guys really cheer me up from a busy day (Sorry that I didn’t reply to some of your questions as they could have been sensitive at the time). It’s been a long time since we started this project, from the redesign to nearly final release. We have learnt so much during Guttur's development and we have gained so much from your contribution, ideas and even criticisms. But most of them all - from your support. (special thanks to the TFW2005 community). There were even dramas and rumors along the road since the redesign, but nonetheless, we are very close to Guttur's final release.
Anyway, let me answer some of your questions:
We are on a very tight schedule due to the Chinese New Year which is coming on 2/19. I am very sorry to tell you that the chrome version will be released later, because there still are several testing needs to be perfected and we and the factory are devoting all of our time to production of metallic version.

We have finished designs of other 3 Gigasaurs and the last one is already work in progress (Yes, while we were redesigning Guttur, we were also working on the rest of Gigasaurs).

We will be launching 3-4 Gigasaurs by the end of this year. (Guttur + 2 or 3 more). And the last one is to be released in Q1 next year.
What we haven’t decided yet, though, is their release order which will be announced in the future. But I will release the 3D design of future Gigasaur by the end of this month.

We will be, as usual, listening to all your feedback as this has become an important part of our projects due to Guttur’s redesign success when we managed to implement some of your ideas that could be done and we agreed it would improve our figure.
The metallic version will be limited because the chrome version will require irreversible modifications of the mold itself. Also, we consider the metallic version to be our flagship product and the extra accessories are to thank you. Future Gigasaurs will be released in a similar fashion in, at least, these two versions.
Once again, thank you very much for your support and keep your comments coming!

Btw. there is one big change to the Grassor's design. Can you guess what it is?

 

[teemu]

These Giga's are tempting.I'd love to collect both...I have already dipped 3 times into FT Dino's so its that choice of having to stick with them as they are GREAT pieces to have in the MP Collection

 

[MagpieMad]

I'm in the same boat. The differences in scale and general aesthetic mean that I definitely wouldn't want to mix and match between the two lines. Also as awesome as the Giga Dinobots look they're probably a bit too big for my available shelf space.

 

[Levit05]

gigs has definitely caught my attention....so with that being said...i'll just pick up both lines....really can't go wrong at all...

I think this is the category where most TF fans fall. Sadly, most are not as fair as Teemu here and a lot of others. They just trash the new company because they have already invested a large chunk of cash on the three FT releases, and become FT whores. Why can't we all get along? We are the ultimate winners here, no need to trash an excellent effort from another company. Kind of what you see on the statue battle between XM and SSC. Childish.

We have choices now, and that's awesome.

Better??

Thank you. From me and everyone else here.

 

[dajuice]

I'm torn that I may be going with the 3rd party now instead of waiting for Takara to come out with there's for 2015. I am really tempted to go with Apollyon (Megatron), Brawny (Brawn), Backland (Outback), Transistor (Blaster), and Wardog (Warpath) - they look so good.

Those look so freaking cool, but whats up with the green warrior thing? It looks like a recast/recolored micronaut.

Those look so freaking cool, but whats up with the green warrior thing? It looks like a recast/recolored micronaut.

That's Kotetsu Jeeg, quite a popular character is Asia and South/Central America.

Why he's posed next to the Gobots is anyone's guess.
