Unfortunately, the 6th member is not named Sixer... The name is more in line with the alt form.

Suffice to say I am not slightly surprised. If it's supposed to be a replacement arm, some tiny Arcee lookalike ain't gonna cut it. I'm curious what that lookalike is, though. Is it an existing product from another manufacturer recolored? Is it an upcoming MMC design? Is it some composite of various figs? Is it an original design just made for April Fools? THE WORLD WANTS TO KNOW.

Hey I don't mind buying another cool but pointless character. We all bought Steelcore, didn't we ???

I didn't. Prior to this the only third party product I've bought was the first Munitioner/Explorer reissue back in early 2011.

But if this character (if it's real) fits in with the Predacons, and the price is right, I'll probably get it. Again, my big thing right now is whether it's even real, since it was still posted on April Fool's Day and it doesn't match up with the description we've been given.

I didn't buy Steelcore. He looks awsome and there were times when I almost pulled the trigger, but too much was coming out and I didn't have enough money to go around. Because he isn't a name character I don't feel a Steelcore sized hole in my collection. Although there are times when I look at pics of him and wonder if I shouldn't get him if he becomes available again.

So I wouldn't be down for a Predacon colored Arcee. However, I MAY be down for another car version of Arcee.

I'm never buying that waste of money

The colours of these guys are growing on me, but hopefully the light orange has something to do with my monitor and/or the digibash and will be a bit darker on the final product.

Far too many negatives answers. :lol:

I bought it.

MMC's sixth member? A new MMC figure? Arcee? A different character? A motorbike? A car? A sabre-toothed tiger? I DON'T CARE!!! :BOOM:

Where are our first two figures? The coloured images we've seen; are they the final product, or just more renders? I just seem to be pre-ordering loads of figures and have nothing to show for it. :sad:

if I could have bought one without paying the shipping for 3 of them, I might have.

We've only had 2 preorders so far, and I'd wager they'll release Divebomb before or shortly after they put up a preorder for Razorclaw.

I've heard these will come after Sixshot (reformatted line) which is due in April. so I'm guessing we'll received the first one in May the earliest?

Makes sense to me.

Sorry for the little mess created over the jokes we've put up and we sincerely apologize to anyone who feel offended or disgusted that the folks here in the MMC team actually like having fun. We promise we will never pull off something like that ever again.... NOT!!!

Now for something serious. As many of you would have already guessed, Sixer is not a member of of the Feral Rex team. She's a pet project of one of our designers for the Reformatted line but we are a little uncertain about the need for a fourth figure for the character she's inspired from. If we do eventually decide to have her in the line-up we'll definitely keep you guys informed. Or maybe you guys can help us decide. We do love listening to feedback!

Is that really just one figure ?

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Tue Apr 09, 2013 2:01 pm

It looks as though most of the parts are separated from the frames and the figure is just the bottom two buckets. Looks about right by modeling standards.

Griffith clarified the following: "Its actually 4 sets of Bovis and the sword in those boxes".

Looks like fun, and I'm remembering putting together Kabaya Fort Max.

Whoa, this thing is going to be huge. Awesome, but too big for my collection. I can now safely admire from afar.

Maybe too big to fit in the Classics collection, but who cares when they look like that!

They posted these on the Facebook as well and gave us our first names for Razorclaw and Headstrong: "Leo Dux and Fortis". Guess who won't be using them.

It's nice to see these guys in scale with something, finally. Sure, they can say 7 inches, but SEEING it is another thing entirely. I love it, and I can't wait to get them.

The names for Leo Dux and Fortis have already been revealed before today's post. Looks like you just missed those. Note that currently the faces for Bovis and Fortis have been swapped. People are also talking about the Leo's sizable butt armor that will turn into FR's briefs/codpiece.
