Moonraker (Micromaster Countdown)

Postby mooncake623 » Fri Apr 04, 2014 4:31 pm

Weapon: Concussion Rifle
From CZ Hazard at TFW

Here is a forthcoming figure from a new 3P company. Based on the G1 Micromaster Countdown.

The gun turret is designed for interaction with the huge Metroplex figure that came out last year.

The figure is Scout sized.

I should be able to get pictures of the first prototype up within the next week.

Feedback is always appreciated.

Indeed. Depending on price, I may go with this one instead of picking up the Universe version on eBay.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on this. I am intrigued by the turret fitting with Metroplex. I wonder if this is going to scale along with Scamper...

I would buy it. But honestly Ive already gotten use to the cybertron mold being countdown. I like having him Hothouse and Flak as an oversized crew of former micromasters. The whole micromaster concept was another stupid kiddie gimmick that really shouldnt have crossed over from the toy stores into fiction. The same thing with pretender shells and action masters. 1988 was a bad year for transformers toys. If these characters are going to get an update, I say leave behind all the toy accurate kiddie marketing gimmicks and make them normal deluxe and voyager figures. I dont want a bunch of legends sized robots just to relive a bad gimmick in TF history.

Interesting... but my Universe Countdown fills that niche quite nicely.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

:APPLAUSE:
I fully agree with, the 'upscaling' if you will, of all those micro-masters/mini-bots/small-folk/whatever into a respective size to their own alt mode forms; no more Smart car sized clown cars or aeroplanes the size of a hang glider! :grin:

The computer teaser renders look a lot like the ones iGear put out, but I would guess they (still) have a lot on their plate without adding this to their 2016 roster? :lol:

What people are saying in TFW is this guy might be scout-sized. That's an ok size for me.

I wish they'd have done a large homage to the base component (the real toy rather than the tiny 'accessory' known as the Micromaster Countdown) that transformed into a robot. I'd have bought that. I probably won't buy this because when I think of Countdown, I think of a large blue mobile space vehicle launch platform with a large white rocket on it waiting to launch, not the teeny tiny red and gray Micromaster Transformer that comes with it/him.

Maybe that's just me though.
