Time to start saving up.

should be intersting to see how it looks complete is there plan to do all transfromers combiners that be pricy and big

Same scale as Hercules? So that means all five robots will be Voyager class?

Not too sure about that since all fighter jets in the Classics/Universe/United line-up are Deluxe size. I would prefer limbs being Deluxe and main body (Silverbolt) being an Ultra. Just to keep a bit of scale.

I would love to own a Superion like that. About Computron, they have sketches for that it doesn't mean they have canceled or are making it, just that they are considering it.

Personally i would love Computron, but if i had to pick, after Devy and Superion, I'd rather see Menasor or Abominus. Same with my comment about sizes above, i think the limbs should be deluxe and the main body Ultra class.

I agree, I'd rather see a Menasor at this point to combat the Superion w/FansProject enhancements that I already have. Of course, if TFC goes with the larger than Deluxe Class/not quite Voyager Class size, then the before mentioned Superion would so get its plastic butt kicked. Or if they go the route of making a Defensor much the same way, then the Bruticus w/FansProject enhancements that I have now would get it's plastic butt kicked. Not to mention that their Not-Groove would not be to scale with the other Protectobots just so as a Police Motorcycle, it can be Defensor's right leg.

Perhaps TFC is creating the Combiners in the order in which they first appeared in the 80's animated cartoon, hence why their Not-Constructicons were first on their list and why the Aerialbots are next. Of course, the Stunticons were introduced basically at the same time as the Aerialbots. Maybe that's what TFC should do, introduce an Aerialbot and a Stunticon at the same time.

Of course, it could be simply a matter of complication. With four of the five Aerialbots basically having the same robot body molds in size and shape, TFC could be just making the Aerialbots because they're easier. With different colors, wings, tail-ends, heads, nose/cockpit, and arms basically being the only parts to distinguish them.

Of course, that being said, despite being happy with my Hasbro Superion w/FansProject enhancements, I'll probably still throw my money at TFC for this one. But a Menasor would really be cool right about now. Maybe it's time for FansProject to get back into the game.

After Universe/Classics 2.0 Silverbolt, I was kind of looking forward to some up-to-date, truely Classics designs.

As long as TFC's Silverbolt version doesn't look like Universe/Classics 2.0 Silverbolt where it was merely a robot with a supersonic jet glued to its back, then I'm on board... if I have the money at the time, that is.

To everyone that keeps saying Hasbro wouldn't allow it at Botcon:

Didn't Hasbro change their minds on that policy a week after they made that claim?

No, that was the art in the artist's alley, and they changed their minds three days after not a week

Perhaps the TFC found a loophole. Third Party groups could not display or sell actual toys at Botcon, but the loophole in that was that they could show "artwork" of future projects.

hmmm quite possible, good theory

*Looks to Universe 2.0 Superion with Crossfire upgrades, then to TFC Devastator*

As awesome as CF I was and is... I think I'll be putting some money down for these.

[xyl360]

OK, I'll bite. My set with the FP upgrades is nice, but TFC will do it better, just as they did with Herc, simply because they're creating their own figures (and that's not a stab at FP, it's a stab at Has/Tak. FP did MIRACLES with the add-ons/upgrades they've made for Has/Taks' products, including Superion).

As for Computron, that's my fav G1 combiner of all time, so I hope that they do still plan to make the Technobots down the road (and soon), because it would be the biggest letdown if they cancelled it after all the hype-building (for me at least) after seeing all those pretty concept sketches and hints on their site.

[Autobot032]

Hmm. $500-600.00 for their Superion, or the $100+ I invested in the Energon/FP set?


I'll keep what I have and save LOADS of money, thanks. I'm sure it'll be pretty, but uh, yeah. Pass.
