which product were you basing this statement on? Herc looks amazing because it isn't that awful pale yellow green of the G1 figures.

What they showed us of their Dinobots.

dude, they are developing interest, don't click on a link that says BLURRED IMAGE IN THE DAMNED TITLE AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. Such a jagoff thing to do...

I stand with Kibble on this. They'd get far more interest generated if we could actually see something.

Please, call me jagoff...

Ha ha ha I was just gonna say the same thing! Why blur the image, it's not like hasbro blurs their stuff before we get to see it. Or any other company for that matter. Could you imagine if Lexus or Toyota just released blurred pictures of the new ES or Camry? Pffft, money would walk.

To me, just show the damn picture, then I'll get excited. However, for now I'll giggle quietly to myself because they're calling it Uranus.

I see that you're mocking the site owner, except that the underlying figure is that of an official Energon Bruticus Maximus. Of which Seibertron also posted that he's (kinda) okay with updating an Official figure... Which still meant that you'd have to have the official figure to begin with.

It's not that. I'm most likely going to like it and buy it. It's the fact that they think this is a good promotion tactic that annoys the piss out of me. It's like saying "We have something cool but you can't have it." It's like the rich kid at school who always shows up with the coolest toys but won't let you near them.

Right. Plus they already teased the damn thing once so I'm already curious and interested. They're not gaining anything by showing me a stupid blurred out pic and dragging out the process other than annoying me. They have plenty to tease if they want to reveal one figure at a time so screw the blurry pic stage.

So, here's a good question:

If you have Herc and now Uranus (seriously, why Uranus? Makes no sense) with both being, presumably, around the same size, where does that leave FP's Bruticus in your collection?

Same place it leaves Henkei or United Megs (or Pokeheger), ML Soundwave, and the seekers? Cool figs that aren't exactly in scale with one another...

However, how big will Superianus actually be?

BTW, I took your advice:

Which isn't to say it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to release a new shovel. But it'd have to come with new arms and at least a part of the legs as well, and it'd probably be greatly overpriced for such a small change and I can't see anyone but TFC actually releasing it because it'd probably have to come with arms and legs already attached.


Yes, I've seen the WIP pics of all the pieces taken apart as well as posts saying they took them apart to paint. And damn do they look good now!

I've scratched up a TF by trying to remove a rivet, so I'm still skeptical that a "fix" is even possible for the average TF fan. It sounds to me like you should just pay one of them to repaint it for you instead of waiting for a fix that'll probably never happen.
