For me, it's more cartoon and artwork released to promote the toys primarily. If I wanted accuracy to the toys, then I would just stick with the original figures ;) I never read much of the comic as a kid, so that doesn't matter to me so much. I'm also OK with a mix, but the TFC version seems to be more of the "take the spirit of G1 and create a whole new thing" rather than trying to be all that accurate to the old cartoon, toy, comic, or whatever. The head is a major concern for me, as that's gonna be a focal point of the character and can make or break a likeness in Transformers just like in Hot Toys or anything else. Having said that, we still haven't seen the final product painted up, and maybe that will help to change my mind.

Yeah, I'm with you, but I guess when I saw that IDW pic of Devastator - which apparently this is based on - I was pretty much sold. I'm still not 100% on the head, but I like it enough to get the first one, so far.

I'd still like to see an optional v-shaped chest piece, though. Maybe it'll come with one of the two unseen bots...
 
Weapons not done yet but... here we go.

Need to finish the windshield trim.

Wow! That is baddass!:clap

The only thing this DMK needs is the blaster cannons though.
:goodpost: The kit should of come with all his arsenal like the movie at his price tag :dunno But seems like he's still worth it from the people who owns it. Maybe a weapons kit will be available in the future

Just wanted to do up a couple comparison pics, because now you have me thinking as well...

Looking at these now, I can see where you're coming from. I don't mind the extra bulkiness in the arms, but it would have been nice if the torso piece was more accurate.

I dunno, I still like it enough not to cancel or anything, but yeah, not perfect...

Hey guys, I grew up with G1 Prime and loved when Prime kicked ass in the animated movie when the song "The Touch" played :lol and a part in the dream wave comics in his G1 form when he took down Devestator alone and of course his ass kicking in the Bayformers movie. Other than that what other fights had him kicking ass or what other series? War Within, War For Cybertron?
 
Are you implying some shill bidding or pseudo bidding or whatever it is called?

What are you talking about?


Woah that looks way cool! I think LED'S are overused these days, but in the right hands they can look awesome.
Do you accept commission work for installing LED's Encline?
I might have a couple of things i want doing.

The new series by IDW. Infiltration, escalation, infestation, etc. as well as the current ongoing series, though he's stepped down as leader of the autobots. Bee is currently the leader there. Tho Optimus is still taking faces.

And All hail megatron is a must read as well.

Thanks, I believe the last time I read a TF comic was the first series from dreamwave. The comics you mentioned are G1? Is the paperback already released?
