Robotkingdom.com: Preorders for TFClub Hercules Heavylabor

I'm expecting Exgraver any day now, and I plan to get the set. HOWEVER, I will be waiting to preorder this guy until I see a color prototype that proves beyond a shadow, that the greens will be uniform. If they are not, I will wait and check out the other Devy.

I doubt they speak English as their first language, so the name probably sounds cool to them.

But yeah, some of the names ... even Fansprojects' names for the Nonsecticons kinda suck.

Edit: Not loving that wait piece. I really hope that's just in the prototype becaus eit looks like it was made to fully collapse.

I really like it... but it looks like they got their heads all switched. This one SURE looks like our buddy Scrapper... less like the round dome mug of Long Haul.

Regarding the fall-apart look mentioned... could be a floppy figure, or could be held together well but awesomely poseable. I can hope. Only way we'll find out for real is as the reviews start pouring in.

Sad thing is... you can't actually attach these first two figures together!!!! You have an arm and some abs.

When they arrive, you can't even make a stubby stump of a no-arm, no-leg giant wad of RAWRRR-I'M-HERCULES-AND-I"M-EATIN'-UP-ALL-YOR-SHELF-SPACE-NOM-NOM-NOM floor-candy .

And I was looking forward to that.

the completed figure looks good, don't know yet, the maketoy completed one still looks better to me.

Well, now that I have seen images with the completed legs, I am sold on this one instead of the MakeToy one. I already had Exgraver on the way, but now I'm sure this is the way that I want to go.

However, I'd still prefer to get a FP upgrade for my Classics Devastator. His two buddies got one and now he feels all naked.

Exgraver is an awesome, and very solid figure. It gave me a lot of confidence to order the next one. My only concern is the colour of Heavylabour's buttplate, ie Devvies crotchplate.

Exgraver's transformation is spot on if not a little more detailed transformation wise. his arms tuck in beside him and his legs fold up underneath him just like the g1 version.

I can't believe I am having this conversation at all, let alone on two forums, lol. So far, the only colour images of Heavylabour we have seen are the 3d computer renderings. They would give Hercules grey hips, purple thighs and a black crotchplate. Personally I am rather used to Devastator having a green crotchplate, except in IDW where it was purple. Either way, not black. I can always paint it, but due to the transformation it will get scratched and bumped a lot, meaning I will forever be doing touchups in that case, what a pain.

I really hope when we do get a colour production image, that that crotchplate is green.
