It’s getting kind of stupid when they start doing characters even Hasbro has already done.

And already done pretty damned well.

The only thing I figure is that this is MP sized...

Assuming they are going by the “mini-bot” standard, wouldn’t MP and deluxe scale be the same thing ?

I don't know. Are they matching alt modes or bot modes? We'll have to see....

Bot-modes.
So far all of BadCube's releases have been intended for Masterpiece. Classics Warpath doesn't really fit in with MP, even though it's super badass and awesome.

This, is going to be another brilliant figure I believe, I mean looking back at their Huffer, Brawn and Outback, damn this will be sweet. I love the work these guys do.

Preorder when?

Cubex/Badcube do MP scale and style Minibots so it's not for you, X.

Shocked to see Badcube and retailers are asking over $85 for short deluxe MP TF toys.

Don't like the extreme fat bulky short squat look of BadCube Brawny and Backland robot modes.

Despite the fat overly bulky looking robot modes. Like the high sculpt, high engineering, high quality parts, superb joint tech that BadCube creates. If BadCube can stream line the robot modes and make them much bigger scaled toys, I might buy some.

I don't buy Commander or Deluxe scale MP TF HasTak or 3rd party TF toys. The only way Badcube will get me to buy their MP TF toys, Is if they create Voyager, Ultra, Leader and higher MP TF toys.

Brawn is extremely, fat, bulky, short, and squat.

And Outback isn't exactly slender either.

And their altmodes are just solid blocks, just masses of steel in a compact space. I think they did an excellent job of translating the characters from the cartoon into plastic. A far better job than iGear.

Well I was going to go for the (awesome) HasTak version, but now...

Oh what the hell, I'll get them both and headcanon them as "The Warpath Brothers".

y'all seem to making a lot of assumptions based solely some artwork. huffer/pipes looked pretty nice, but their brawn/outback did nothing for me.

More art from BC , test shot pics should be revealed later in the month .

He's dreamy, in a Hulkbuster Armor sort of way. I am seriously interested in getting this one.

Pretty impressive!

I like this a lot.

This is one instance where I think the prototype's colours are better than the (supposed) finished product's colours. I'd love that figure in gunmetal-grey.

News Credits: 12 · by **Evil Eye** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 3:28 pm

That is to die for.

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 6:13 pm

I agree with the consensus, so far. ;)^

I'm not getting him. I love the Hasbro Deluxe. But this looks awesome! I could see it going into an MP collection pretty easily...

Looks like working treads? If so, awesome

don't think so. look at the full bot mode picture, those threads simply stop in mid-air, and the idler wheel on the end of the arm thread is simply floating there, so solid plastic
