Lerath666 - I don't think that Leo is up for pre-order yet. MMC just posted the image this morning on facebook. I saw that BBTS had the Bovis and Talon for pre-order which I should put some tax moola toward!

I absolutely love how this is turning out but I wish they could've done more for the 2 legs. The torso and arms look great but the car legs are just meh.

 

[shoptoylife]

if you look at the arms, MMC split the cars in half, which would have helped with the legs a bit. On the flipside, the cars in one piece also tend to look more like shin guards!

Sooo... for all the hardcore MP collectors, where would you buy a Red Alert at this point in time?

DPrime,
I think the reason for the lack of sponsors on the animation model was because it would have been too much for the animators to keep trying to draw onto every frame.

This also why most of the animation models lacked any kind of major kibble even if it meant making things disappear into thin air and why the arms and legs of each character were all so generic looking.

Diaclone Smokescreen had some extra logos,

If the Masterpiece was like that I'd probably be OK with it but if it has everything from the real racecar plastered all over it I'd pass.

lerath666,
4chan = Enough said!

probably ebay now. tfsource and bbts had them earlier this week, but are sold out now.

Looking at ebay prices Red is staying around the same price I had to pay ( £75 -£80 )

Sideswipe's price is getting a bit mental, one seller is now asking for just over £180 for one

Sideswipes price is making me regret not buying multiples. I mean we all hate it, but the hindsight of seeing his price double or even triple now it seems to be outrageous. At the price he goes for now, it would have been worth it just for trade fodder.

The biggest positive from the situation is that Takara's experiment at releasing a secondary character in the Masterpiece line has paid off.

New versions of main characters will always sell. Sideswipe was a risk but I think it was a calculated one as the Lamborghini Countach is a very iconic car with appeal that transcends Transformer fandom which was likely a factor in why Takara went for Sideswipe first.

I don't think Jazz would have been first even if the Porsche license was available as it wouldn't have made sense to bring out the biggest gun straight away as it would have raised false expectations for sales of the less popular Autobot car characters.

The success of the Lamborghinis and the Nissans means that the chances of most of the Autobot cars are now very good, Mirage & Hound are heavily rumored and it seems like Takara are determined to get the "difficult" companies on board so maybe an MP Jazz or Wheeljack aren't out of the question either.

For a line that was previously about main characters only Sideswipe was the game changer.

I don't expect every single G1 character to be made, nor would I want all of them, but the possibilities of what characters could be released have definitely widened a fair bit.

Two other Decepticons that might be a nice option are Runabout and Runamuck who turned into a Lotus Esprit Turbo and a Pontiac Firebird respectively.

So TFC has revealed their first figure for their Predaking.

Dang. I actually like this better than the MMC version and I dropped my preorders. I'll have to wait until all the figures are out to decide which not-Predaking to get.

TFC pulling the same "rage of hercules" scheme with uranos...

I for one I'm relieved that they are doing this, as I hate that phantom ray thing.
But they should've included this from the beginning!

 

[Wanderer]

So what's the general consensus guys? TFC or MMC Predaking?

 

[Spanbauer]

Aren't there now three third party predakings in the works?

Yeah things are getting a bit ridiculous.

I agree,this set makes Superion even better...

kinda annoyed I bought the 3rd party Eagle uranos upgrade gun since its now included in the new set

 

[lerath666]

That's what TFC does. they put theirs out, then they wait and see what the best add-ons others make are, then do their own version of the add-ons.

General Question maybe someone will know. Mastermind Creations --> to (eventually) form Ferel Rex, will that be

Terminus Hexatron
Talon the Aerial Assaulter
Bovis the Supply Specialist

plus two more, or does the builder set start with Talon?

It starts with Talon. Terminus is (Not) Sixshot.
