Hey now... he had a very valid point, no need to get all snarky.

Besides... haven't they been promoting this as "Uranos" wiyh an "O"? Thought I saw that on display somewhere... though looking at the Uranus wikipedia page, the only other spelling I actually see is "Ouranos".

So it's either "your anus"

"UR years"

"Our years"

Anos meaning years in Spanish.

the name is a fail, no matter what, they couldn't come up with a better name?
Superiatron?
Superioroff
Superioran

It's "años," and not "anos"....


Uranus was the English variation... It was only made bad by people doing l33t speak.

Thats the problem with not front paging 3rd party news. I never liked the "bump to the top when I comment" format. Especially when freakin Kreo and Bot Shots gets to spend a week on the front page virtually un-bumped because Hasbro has no new news.

But you gotta admit, Fansproject asked for this when them chose Uranus. No vasaline. :P

5 bots or 6 bots, I just want to see what it looks like. Just give us an illustration if don't want to do the big reveal. What about a schematic? They did that for Hercules. I'm not going to plop down the cash for this based solely on seeing two members in robot mode.

Also, to the people who get offended with the Uranus jokes:

On topic. Agreed. These two do look good, but I wanna see the rest before I shell out that kind of cash....

You mean like these?

I know they aren't perfect but if TFC made them, I would buy all three. They doen't even need to remold the chest in my opinion, it looks pretty good like that. FYI, that is the MP11 head on those bodies.

Edit: I made Sunstorm too

Ladies and Gentlebots, I give you the pot calling the kettle black.

Back on topic, while i see the seeker possibilities in this figure, I think i will continue using my IGear Seekers, 6 MPs that look fantastic and use this as the be all end all Aerialbot he is, and more than likely, in Gestalt mode.

Anus puns. But hey, I won't say anything more on the subject, in fact, I'll leave this thread to you and anyone else that thinks those jokes are appropriate, I'll get my new on this project from the 3rd party news thread.
