Only took me 4 years...

Okay I'll admit. That is a sexy Headstrong. If their Divebomb wasn't a letdown, I'd seriously consider that. But I need to see MMC's offering.

Leg mode has great foot articulation, but other than that these look crap...

We've already seen two of MMC's Preds and they are both better, so it's a safe bet their Headstrong will be better as well. MMC's first release is cheaper atm and even if they were the same price it would still be a better deal because of the size difference.

I forgot we saw MMC's Tantrum, thanks for the reminder. And yes, MMC is a better value because right now their larger Divebomb is cheaper, and even at the same price, it's more toy for the same money. I'm definitely in the MMC camp but still curious to see how the final product turns out here. I looked at all the pics posted and I'm eager to see how it differentiates itself from the custom it resembles.

It will be nice to see how it turns out. I think what we've seen here so far is kinda plain as far as the individual bots are concerned (crap was probably too strong a word), but War Lord is looking like he might be reasonably good if it wasn't for those really bad shoulders and wrist spikes

Taking away everything else I mentioned before, these two issues make War Lord just another case of "close but not quite".

Not very interested in these guys anymore. MMC please

I don't hate these as far as their individual bot modes go.

I kind of like the blocky look to 'em.

Its the combined mode that really misses the mark.

I still prefer what we've seen from MMC overall, sorry guys.

I was just thinking this. Easy decision this time. Almost feel bad for UT.

Yeah, me to. Almost. This fandom has never really taken prisoners. It sucks that in the case of third parties that can mean the difference between staying in business and going under.

Unique Toys should've tried something a little smaller scale or more obscure as their first project. Even if MMC weren't also working on the Predacons, I don't think I'd have gone for this set. Headstrong's face doesn't even look that angry.

Yeah headstrongs robot head is very generic looking to me that face/head would be your average joe on cybertron were as mmc tantrums robot head is just full of character that snarl he's got is mint.
