Hmm. Not sure. It's a good looking set. Not a fan of the guns, but the shoulder cannons could be useful. I've got the Henkei Red Alert, so while his head is already red, the different mold would be welcome.

Glad I have this on preorder already. Beelzeboss did a very decent job on the Devil Horns upgrade and I'm happy to find I can expect more of the same. Wonder what their next project will be. Would like to see them do something with Inferno / Grapple, something like the Gears of War upgrade did with the ladder accessory along with Maidenjapans gun, hand and head accessories.

But, I digress. Good show, Beelzeboss. :APPLAUSE:

I already have Renderform's Red Alert head, but this would be tempting if I didn't. Still, I don't like those shoulders at all. They hinder transformation.

The shoulders pop off along with the rocket which has to be removed anyways to transform him.

I already own the Renderform set, but paid an arm and a leg. Venskta did not want to do another run so a few lucky collectors would feel special. Im glad all his other sets were made in greater numbers to avoid what happened. The only reason Beezleboss is doing this set is because people couldnt get the Renderform set. I might buy it anyways just to have both. I have both Goldbug sets.

Obviously the :shoulders" can come off. But why bother even making them when they have to be removed for transformation and set aside? That's fine for guns, but a poor design choice for any other augmentation.

Pre-order placed with Kapow! not bad in my opinion for £23.49 delivered!

I have been keen to upgrade my Classics Sideswipe and Red Alert and this covers both in one hit. I like that! In fact more of this please, more heads for multiple figures in one easy to purchase set!

Anyway, wheres my cup of tea?

Wow this looks great, kind of wish they would have done a new sideswipe head too......they would have knocked it out of the park....

I think they were going for a very cartoon accurate look.

Probally just an extra add on to make the set more than just 3 pieces. Same thing with the chisels. They should have done a new Sideswipe head. But the rocket launcher looks so good, Im considering replacing my renderform kit.

I suppose they were trying to make it cartoon accurate. But this is the one aspect I don't really like. Mainly because it unnessasaruily hinders transformation.

But, to be more positive, this looks to be one excellent set. If I didn't already have V's head Id be on board and totally stoked for it, shoulders or no shoulders.

So glad I pre-ordered this, I am more impressed with the actual pics than the renders. I thought the shoulders were all going to be one piece, though? Loving the guns.

I'm pretty pleased with the other kits Beelzeboss has done so far. Looks good, I'll likely bite.

I agree. I've liked everything that Beezleboss has released so far. I'm actually ditching my Renderform kit for this. This set will also save me from waiting on Venksta's Sideswipe kit, whenever he gets around to it.

The headsculpt, guns and launchers all look great. Just not liking these new shoulders though. Hopefully the launchers can be pegged into the holes in the standard shoulders, with some persuasion!

If I didn't have Vastenka's head this would be so bought! I'd have to break it out to see which I like more.

Don't liek the shoulders, but I also question the piledriver hands. I suppose it's kinda neat, but would anyone actually use them as a display piece in place of hands? Hm.

Yes sir I surely would!

I have this paid for over at Kapow! and intend to get Red Alerts head swapped, piledrivers swapped on Sideswipe and shoulders added to both as soon as this set arrives. They will then move to the front of my display taking pride with their shiny new add-ons! :grin:

We got final pics for more than a week, when is this getting delivered to all the online toy outlets?

Looks great. Too bad I can't get Red Alert for a reasonable price.

Ah, thanks. I looked up the henkei version instead of the classics and it was going for a fortune. Now I'll have to rethink this.

If you had the Henkei Alert figure, it wouldn't be worth getting the Heroic Duo kit just for his parts - already has a red head and shoulder rocket launcher, but would get the new gun. Also, Alert came out at least a year or more from the Hasbro Generations release of Red Alert, so he's not as in demand.

Good luck bidding!
