Also, all NECIO's works on SB have been well received by both TFC and Jeff, the designer of Uranos as I forwarded all to photos to their blogs last night. Based on on a fullon discussion followed on Jeff's blog, in which he has participated, he personally prefers NECIO's M21 color theme as well as unveils that thus far the white 'G1 theme' is the most favorable while the 'Black SR71' is least liked by Chinese fans.

Is there somewhere we can jump on this discussion?
Where is Jeff's Blog?
Personally I like any of the decos presented, minus the silver one, but I'd prefer the black/white deco.

Like X said, it looks great and is a real-world deco for the plane.
I'd like to be able to add my vote

It's the weibo blog from TFC/JeffyZhong.

URLs are shown at the bottom of some of the pics.

To hell with realistic military colours. We've got a bright red F-4 for crying out loud. Jet black F-15s aren't exactly common place either. I'd much rather have a white Blackbird than black kibble on the back of Silverbolt.

I really don't want to want this set. I can't afford to want this set, but I'm starting to think the completed Uranus is going to be a thing of beauty.

Out of ALL those digibashes... honestly, the black SR-71 looks the best. Best in alt-mode & best in the other 2 because the black creates a nice silhouette for both Superion and Silverbolt... it hides the kibble in those 2 modes nicely.

Oh my...!

So I guess this means that Superion will be using the same joint connections as Herc? Weren't the shoulder joints an issue on Herc?

Yes, it's going to use the Energon Connectors. There have been reports that people have had some issues over time.

Gotta admit, that's a pretty darn good point

I still really like the black/white deco, though.

Wow. I'm liking that Silverbolt. I'd like to see either the G1 mostly all white or the white with black highlights paint scheme. He looks really badass in bot mode.The chest shield looks really odd, though. Maybe there'll be an add-on pack with something different. I like that the cockpit turns into a gun. It would have been some odd kibble if it didn't.

Two more members to reveal. Let's go.

For some reason i just can't get excited about this project. Don't get me wrong...it's totally awesome but i'm happy with my crossfire Superion.

But when someone start a Computron or an Abominus......THEN i'll be excited and more than likely start losing my **** with excitement.

It's the 700 hundred dollar price tag on this fugure (after shipping) that is a MASSIVE turn off for the likes of Herc and Uranus. Just can't justify it.

$700 ? Are you having it shipped to the moon ???

4 jet limbs = $400
Silverbolt - $120-150
BBTS Shipping $12-15 (USA) or no more than $50 anywhere else in the world

Am I missing something ????

Shipping for individual figs, customs fees, etc... It's quite possible... Guy is from Canada. It should be cheaper if you buy and ship the whole set altogether.

Don't forget the "Furious Uranus" upgrade to fix the arm proportions & stupid gun, the CrazyDevy head because TFC put a faceplate on Superion, some Shapeways leg-extensions because his thighs are too short & some paint for them. That's all about an extra $150...

so much better than the bile Hasbro just showed us. Can't wait to get the first two members of Uranos, Rollbar too.

Glad I won't have to buy any of those...

That whole 'foot as a stand' thing is a very nice idea. I wonder if the hands can be used in a similar way on the 2 arm bots?

TFC is really outdoing themselves this time. Color me seven shades of impressed. Shame I can't find a place in my collection for these. The foot-stand idea is an excellent touch as well.

Good show, TFC.

Wow... while I probably won't be buying the set, I'm tempted to just pick up the F-15 as it looks wonderful.



That looks like a really thin connection for Uranos' ankles... makes me nervous just looking at it.

The more I see, the more I want it. I don't want to want it! I can't afford to want it! Stop making it look so good, TFC!

And yeah, foot as stand is a REALLY cool idea.

Ya I'm totally sold, the real question is, preoder them as they come out? Or wait for the second release with any issues fixed?
