Shame about those additional QC issuesKnightStrike wrote:My sets of these guys just came in and I have to admit being disappointed in the washed out colors on Veer and Cogz. They look like they have been bleached by the sun. QC wise, other than the colors not being as advertised, Veer was missing the white stripe paint app to his right forearm, which is minor, but considering how little paint is on these it is pretty noticeable when an app is missing on one side. Veer's head also will not move at all, so its a good thing I like the face that is showing. Also on the QC front my Duneraker's left leg keeps falling off the ball joint at the hip at the slightest touch, so hoping Future fixes that. My Hench from the last batch had the same problem with a shoulder and a little Future took care of it. Bushwhacker's gun won't fit into his hand as the peg is too big, so Banjo-Tron isn't alone in having that issue. Overall I do like them and they fill the void for these four in my collection. That said, I am glad the next waves of mini-warriors don't appeal to me because I won't pre-order from iGear again, will just see what things look like when BBTS gets them in stock. Value wise their sizes do help their prices seem more reasonable, Veer and Cogz are stocky little bots! On a side note, Veer and Cogz remind me of Miami Vice with Crockett and Tubbs always wearing pastels

But point being, I'm quite expecting a darker version of each on the horizon... and a lot of fans groaning. Show accurate is one thing, but these were really washed out. I think they were looking at the comics and other sources to pull the colors and just shot a little too extreme.
Curious about this GDO Wheelie mod. Got a link?

Banjo-Tron wrote:Damn that is tempting, but Wheelie is particularly diminutive and this mod, nice as it is, still leaves Wheelie as tall as Bumblebee, when ideally I would like him Windcharger-sized or smaller. But like others, I'm very reluctant to pull the trigger on the pre-order after being very disappointed with iGear's poor output on these guys.

My photography skills are not the best, but this may give you an idea of how these guys look mingled with other bots. My mini-bots range from mini to not so mini Also should say these latest iGear bots photograph better than they look in hand as far as colors go. These shots make them look a tad brighter colored than the very washed out look they have in hand. Still very happy with these molds, just wbots/DSC01055_zpsf16ed470.jpg[/img][/url]
