I'm guessing she's one of the team that broke into Shockwave's energon stockpile.

Edit: Sorry should have posted in the 3rd party forum.

Interesting news, but my that is an eyesore. Looks like a turd on her head.

I see Firestire. I am pleased.

Looks terrible!

That's quite the backpack on her.

I'll have to see more before judging

If the face was better it'd be only temptimg. Since this is from the same guys who made the 2nd Arcee, it's probably $100 ... definately not worth it in my book.

You are correct, "Meh" is the answer here!

I have to agree this doesn't look too impressive. I've got their Delicate Warrior aka Arcee on the way, so maybe that will give a little more insight into their quality. I would like see the alt mode and a straight forward pic of the bot mode.

Face looks... melted. Or is that just me? Unfinished at least.

ACToys have posted an image of MGT-02 Firestar. This is from the same company that has recently produced an Arcee figure. It is not from Impossible Toys though. Click here to see the thread on ACToys.

I was going to say that the face looks like a wad of chewed up bubblegum... :-?

There a few points on this that say 'this is going in the right direction' but generally it just screams 'put me outta my misery!'

Pretty damn ugly but i like it....like it alot. She's got a great retro space look.
I've always liked ugly TF's and this fits the bill. If she's not too pricey i'd buy her for sure.
Sure she has kibble on the back but they're getting the femeinine aspect of these TF's down now which is important. Hard to get that classic cartoon feminine look without kibble in my opinion.
If you had panels attached to the arms and big blocky legs you'd totally lose the look. So i don't mind the kibbble on the back.
I even like the wheels dangeling off the thighs.

She def got some junk in that trunk...sorry I had too :lol:

by **Brychanus** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:31 pm

Oh my. She looks like the Queen of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy.

by **PraetorGix** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:36 pm

Mmhh, I think I like it quite much (aside from the turd-helmet) The articulation is quite good, and with a more careful paint job it could be really nice. Let us wait for the price tag nevertheless...

Clever pose, trying to neglect the fact it's is inevitably back-heavy. I refuse to believe this is a finished product.

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 3:31 pm

Firestar's face is just.... downright ugly. And yes, my passionate hate for 3rd party products still burns. :lol:

It looks like it's made of candle wax.
Where did these guys get the idea that there was enough demand for these characters to make it financially viable to make them?

Other than companies making Quintessons, Springer, Arcee, Hearts of Steel Prime, the Autoscouts, the MP Coneheads, and all the other 3rd party merchendise?

If it were MUCH cheaper it might even have been worth getting. But, as you say .... candle wax. The headsculpt alone makes it not worth it.

That looks terrible.

Of all the third party companies, I'm still awaiting some Fembots that look decent.

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 7:53 pm

i keep looking at her and she looks like a female version/sister of G1 Repugnus to me. Same colours and backpack and little beady eyes in bot mode. Now she needs to shoot sparks and i'd be sold.
