Hahahaha!!! That's some funny stuff. Concrete.....

Well perhaps concrete wasn't the right word... I mean they actually have a plan and "schedule" for their projects, while most other 3rd parties just show off a ton of ideas and never follow through on a lot of them.

Anyway, their quality is pretty good. I have a couple of the WST dinobots and the Shockwave and they really are like shrunken down versions of the G1s, quality plastic, diecast and everything.

I have two of the WST Dino Robots and they are pretty good. The plastic is a little flimsy--not brittle, more like thin, soft, and pliable--but otherwise no complaints. They also have die-cast parts, just like the original G1 toys, which is one of the reasons I like them. They're a nice mini version of G1 toys. I can't speak for anything larger made by Justitoys, though.

I have their MP Megatron upgrade package and the trailer they made for MP Convoy before Takara released their own. I was very impressed with the Megatron pack, especially the diecast pieces which let you attach the rifle stock. The Convoy trailer doesn't transform, but it's very good plastic and matched the colors on Convoy very well. It also had some interesting features I wouldn't have thought of, such as a stand to attach to the trailer hitch to allow it to stay level on its own and wheel chocks inside to keep your Binaltech/Alternator TFs from rolling back and forth.

I'm not particularly turned on by the outside hinges on the arms and legs. I'm not a big fan of invisible elbows / knees like Exgraver has. It would be nice if they could make the hinge the actual elbow or knee instead of an arm or leg that essentially breaks in half to bend.

I just paid $200 for the takara reissue last year. And im quite happy with that, especially with all the gold paint

Bring it on!

Oh man. How am I supposed to keep track of this stuff?

kirbenvost, amtm and morphobots; cheers for the info. It's certainly heightened my anticipation for these.

owh no....this is tooo much to take (for my wallet)

Hopefully, since this isn't from TFC, it will be in scale with the FP combiners and fit in nicer with the classics line.

It's been so longs since we've heard anything about this project I figured it was dead, but apparently not.

I really don't trust JustiToys. They put out an image, then nothing really seems to happen. Whatever happened to their Dinobots they wanted to do hmmm? Perhaps this will follow the same fate?

Either do all the Predacons or none at all. And that dinobot combiner was stupid.

You're thinking about the TFC Dino-combiner which I agree was stupid. The Dinobots that JustiToy had teased were basically Classics Prime-sized, ultra poseable versions of their G1 toys. I suppose hasbro put the ki-bosh on that?

It's too bad Justitoys has not been able to follow through with many of their projects.

Here are some recent renders from this project. No idea how far this project has gone, or any other specifics. But, for your viewing pleasure:

Wow. With that level of detail, I wonder if Justitoys has gone from world's smallest to world's largest. It almost looks like it could be Masterpiece size.

After reading your post in the "Which not-Predicon?" thread, and finding this old thread, I now remember reading about this. The drawings looked pretty cool. Definitely a more proportional rhino. I wonder if this project has any legs at all.

Way too late to the party, guys. I mean it looks cool and all, but choose another combiner. Or even the dinos. I'm not really down for MP dinos (I'd rather have the super articulated G1 dinos at Classics Prime size they talked about earlier), but there's many that are.

Wow, 2 years after they first announce it we get renders. Sure it's nice to see that there still is some life in Justitoys, but I doubt they can survive in today's third party market with that kind of speed.

A forth preadking? no interest at all . why not just make something nobody else is doing and try yo make some money instead of fighting for what scraps will be left .

Well, technically this is the second Predaking. TFC teased one before FP made their combiner sets, and then Jutitoys officially announced this shortly after killing their THS style Dinobots.

Whoa, the train has left the station and they're just showing drawings? Like others have said, they would better pursuing a different bot at this point.

Well, if you look at the first post in this thread, it was back in 2011 when they announced this project with drawings. The renders are from more recently.

Sorry, I meant renders. You are correct. Two years seems like a long time for renders. Unless they have all the renders completed for each bot, and working on prototypes now - I don't see how they can compete with the other 3 companies with this figure.

I like Justitoys WST figures. It's too bad they didn't stick with the Dinobots.

For fudge sake!

OK, so Justitoys may have been one of the first to reveal their intentions of making their own team of Predacons, but they've taken so long with it that I've lost all patience with them and am very close to losing it with the third party collective.

Why do we need a choice of four teams of Predacons??? I certainly wouldn't say the competition has driven down the prices. At this stage the only thing I can imagine going down is a couple of these companies for investing in something they won't sell.

If you want business Justitoys then move fast. Very, very fudging fast.
