TFC DSLR Camera Image

this one has better aesthetics, the other one has better accseesserioes.
both have a huge price tag probably
dammit

I would probably have sprung for the Perfect Effect set if it weren't for this project. I like how this is shaping up. The convincing alt mode is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned.

There's also something about the Perfect Effect aesthetic that just isn't very G1 to me: the figures seem like they're just bristling with munitions. That's not a bad thing in itself; the figures are quite good looking. But it doesn't fit with the G1 vibe.

This TFC set is consistent with the Classic (and derivatives) notion of reimagining G1 characters in more modern alternate forms. Though, I would like to see some transforming accessories for the TFC set: ideally both a flash and a lens.

I can see what funklizard is saying with regards to Perfect Effect's set being heavily armed in comparison to the G1 originals, but then he lost me when he said he wants TFC's to come with transforming flash and lens. Surely whatever they transformed into wouldn't be particularly G1 or matching with the Classics vibe either. And at the end of the day they are only accessories; no one said you HAVE to use them.

My personal impression is that the near identical robot modes of Perfect Effect's set make them a good Classics set, while the very realistic camera mode and the ability to attach real accessories (if earlier prototype images are to be believed) of TFC's set puts them in line with the Device Label style of figures.

you know i dont think the fansproject verson has it but it would have been cool if one of these guys came with a mini camera that mp megatron or starscream could actully hold. like how mp prime comes with a megatron that he can hold

Why do people keep mistaking Perfect Effect for Fansproject.

Non uniform scale of the three bots is a deal breaker.

I think ill stick with the perfect effect set. The 2 little robots with 1 big one is not my taste. And WTF does one have onslaught cannons on his back for ??? I could care less about large transforming weapons. Anything other than a small gun for each gets placed in my parts box.

I already have the PE one on preorder, but this one is very tempting. Wish we had soem size comparisons and a price estimate, though.

the alt mode will be life size as it is able to use an actual camera lense. looking at his legs you can see where the lense dock is split, those are usually are approximately 2 inches across so i would place the whole figure at around 5-6 inches, slightly shorter for the other two.

Looks good. My PE version is on its way. I would consider buying this one aswell, if it had a functioning camera. Not a GREAT one either. A little gimmicky digital one. For good sakes the things are so cheap you can get one at Wal-Mart to put on your key chain for like 10 bucks.

I'd have to agree with that, Device Label is a good call.

I like the detail in the camera mode for the TFC version, I hope it translates into plastic well. But having said that, the PerfectEffect one will do for me, as I feel it is a better representation of G1 Reflector. Both projects look great though, I think it just depends on your aesthetic preferences.

Same here. This one looks awesome, but I feel my PE version will go better with my collection.

LOL! Now that's funny.........
