FansToys, like BadCube and MMC, are doing the G1 Insecticons. FT-12 Grenadier is the first of FansToys’ Masterpiece-scaled Insecticons and is their version of Bombshell, the evil beetle. Grenadier comes in two versions, one with a purple toy-accurate chest, and one with a grey cartoon accurate chest. The figure itself contains Generation 1 toy and cartoon style parts that are interchangeable. Grenadier is, by my reckoning, a fantastic return to form for FansToys.

Bravo, another excellent read! I'm still hoping to get both versions of this figure, and if what was recently said about releasing purple chest a few weeks prior to grey chest holds true then I will be able to keep those plans.

You didn't talk much about the face sculpt, even though it's pretty clear in your photos. FT has gotten a lot of flack about recent faces, like Sever and Tesla not looking good enough or even derpy. Do you feel that FT has done a better job in the case of Grenadier, or maybe that's not able to be qualified since he has the face mask?
