Ben's Collectables got to check out a prototype of MMC upcoming Terminus Hexatron (aka Sixshot) at Auto Assembly 2012. Check it out below!

Why is it that everybody who displays one of these prototypes is scared to transform it ? Is it that hard ? Delicate ?

I know I'm getting it but I'll get excited when he's in final colors. The heads looks a little more in scale and size accurate with the body than I remember it being. That's a big plus to me. Seems to bring the entire figure together better.

So what's going on with Hexatron's swords? These are the original swords. What happened to the broadswords that appeared in the promotional artwork for Prominion? I liked them.

A ninja robot carrying broadswords would derail his theme of, ya know, being a ninja. Ninja robots in itself is silly enough. What he's got fits his character better IMO.

I wouldn't have said that they were uncharacteristically ninja in design, but they looked more imposing given Hexatrons size.

As a prototype, they may not have the instructions on how to transform it. I can not wait to see the full range of the figure (and in full color), but as of now it does look like a must buy for me.

Seeing it tower next to the already too tall Hegemon, I think it might be just to large for my collection. I'll still preorder it if the price is right. That said, does anyone know what the price is going to be?

He looks like he'll fit into my MP collection nicely, anyone know when this guy goes up for pre-order, I haven't seen anything yet...

I don't think Hex will see release until November-ish if I recall right. So that would mean preorders may start near the end of August or by mid-september.

Cool, thanks!

Okay, that is glorious.

I don't know, for a masterpiece-sized and priced figure, more paint apps would be nice. Looks pretty plain.

It's a reminder of what the size is of Hexatron.

I think it's an unpainted prototype. MMC's yet to let us down in the paint department

Fair do's. My apologies.

maybe a few little touches here and there, but it looks pretty awesome as is. I'd buy it for a varying amount of money, but probably not as much as they'll ask for it, like it is in that pic. Stick some well thought out, and not overwhelming paint apps and I'd go a little higher, price wise. The size makes sense, and it does look like a near perfect update of the G1 toy.

I sure hope so because it does have lots of potential.

MMC has tweeted that Hexatron's release date is February 2014, still a ways to go.

Has there been a price announced on this? Thing seems to be taking forever...

MMC sent out a correction, release February 2013

Ol' Hexy does seem to be taking forever, but I've already mortgaged my future on so many pre-orders, I'm kind of glad for it. That said, this is really the only 3rd party toy I am drooling over (aside from maybe the headmasters), I just hope I can afford it after all the MP's and Fort Max stomp the green from my wallet.
