Cuz the head looks great. Why would they discount it when it's selling perfectly well at the current price?

So it seems the head fulfills all of our fears, perhaps we must talk louder to be heard about this issue, since I really'd like better a black head w visor than the gray one of the image, and not having to buy it from a 3th (4th?) party ... that's the voice of people, well, chinese really don't care that much about it, but at least make it the voice of the buyers.

My question is if this was released by TFC or just a fan that posted it on their page?

My understanding is it's just fan-art made popular, but these days I just don't know.

That's my understanding as well, but if they are reposting it there's a good chance it's somewhat accurate.

Bad news guys, looks like they decided to go in a different direction with Dr. Crank.

Put this guy together with the orange Heavy Labour we say a month back and make the rest in similarly garish colours, and that's a box set I would buy!

Probably too late now, but I would have liked to have seen just a tiny bit extra added to the crane - a transformation joint so that it could lie down the back of Hercules (sticking up over the shoulder a bit), and a flip-out hilt on the base of the crane, allowing a long, narrow sword to be drawn out of it (and leaving the back of the crane boom as a bazooka barrel.

This would give Hercules not only the crane-extension long-distance punch that even Devastator technically had (only with a lot more range), but the options for a shoulder bazooka or a long sword-sheath slung across his back.

Sure, G1 Dev isn't really a sword guy. More of a bare-fists guy. But the toy capability is there, and it'd be a shame to waste it. Hmm. Maybe a sledgehammer instead of a katana? That seems more suitable (and blue-collar) for a guy made of builders.

It was supposed to be September. I suppose they had production delays since they're adding a new digger arm for Exgraver with Heavylabor.
