Yeah, I'd hate it if they mixed series. Classics and movie toys are so different. (Yeah, I'm talking about YOU chicken legs.)

bawk?

Yeah, not sure I've seen many TFs that have screamed out to me that they were any of these characters (well, not the colours anyway). Outside of Botcon Pyro of course.

I hope we'll we'll see newly designed figures for them. My wallet hopes not.

There's now a Cyberverse Guzzle that could use that head.

Skyhammer might look good with the ROtorstorm head, or the TT Vortex.

PLEASE JUST PLEASE, release the figures, not just the heads. Bayformers would look ridiculous with these heads and classics don't really have proper forms.

Impactor: Here's a good one, Armada Smokescreen. As I recall, Transtopia did one, but one shoulder cannon, a tank possible if you remoce the crane.

You can't really swap the heads with the Cyberverse Guzzle, since his head is molded in and not removable, not to mention these were announced before Cyberverse Guzzle. :-?

Guzzle is the right colours, sure but any of the others are going to need some serious repainting too, and that's a little much for me. It also limits the product, turning it from a 3rd party add-on to a customiser accessory. I don't see them doing that. I suppose the heads could have their colours reworked to fit on existing bodies, but then what's the point of choosing recognisable characters?

Yeah, he does look like Impactor in vehicle mode if you remove the crane.

Third party toy maker iGear has revealed their take on Impactor of Wreckers' fame. The figure is dubbed Presser and appears to borrow some design elements from Generations Warpath. Take a look at the promotional artwork below from their facebook page.

I'll buy it!

Looks like a slightly modified Warpath mold.

Man, if iGear can keep all these promises the Golden Age of Transformers is truly upon us.

by **Rated X** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:44 am

That is cool but I no idea who presser is. I hope the figure is classics scale and not MP.

Golden age is right!

That's exactly what I thought. Oh well, it's a pass anyway because I can never afford iGear products.

AS the article says it is 'Not Impactor' of Wreckers fame. Star of Last Stand of the Wreckers comics, made famous originally for appearances in Marvel's UK TF series.

Looks like a badass combination of the Crossover Hulk and Generations Warpath.

This Impactor looks very impressive. Here's hoping I can fit him in my budget. I would love to start completing my set of Wreckers.

Will definitely, 100% buying THIS guy!! Absolutely love him. Just WOW!

Definitely has similarities to Warpath, but also different enough. Kudos. I'm hoping he will be about their Ironhide size. I'd like my not-Impactor to be a voyager. :grin:

Certainly saves me the trouble of having to repaint Warpath into a Classics Impactor. Oh, wait, that's right - I'd have to be able to find a Warpath first . . . Hasbro. :-x

Well, with no generations figure reveals at Botcon, looks like all my money is going 3rd party, just like you PE!

We need some size comparisons, but this could be a real oppertunity for iGear to get neck and neck with FP, if they price things right, and depending if this is through them or through BBTS.
