No, that was the art in the artist's alley, and they changed their minds three days after not a week


Perhaps the TFC found a loophole. Third Party groups could not display or sell actual toys at Botcon, but the loophole in that was that they could show "artwork" of future projects.

*Looks to Universe 2.0 Superion with Crossfire upgrades, then to TFC Devastator*

As awesome as CF I was and is... I think I'll be putting some money down for these.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

OK, I'll bite. My set with the FP upgrades is nice, but TFC will do it better, just as they did with Herc, simply because they're creating their own figures (and that's not a stab at FP, it's a stab at Has/Tak. FP did MIRACLES with the add-ons/upgrades they've made for Has/Taks' products, including Superion).

As for Computron, that's my fav G1 combiner of all time, so I hope that they do still plan to make the Technobots down the road (and soon), because it would be the biggest letdown if they cancelled it after all the hype-building (for me at least) after seeing all those pretty concept sketches and hints on their site.

Hmm. $500-600.00 for their Superion, or the $100+ I invested in the Energon/FP set?


I'll keep what I have and save LOADS of money, thanks. I'm sure it'll be pretty, but uh, yeah. Pass.

I have a decent Superion and a really good G3 Silverbolt.

it is you. :P At least, that's my opinion. Nice to see some Aerialbot love. As ever with these vaguer than vague teases, I'll await pictures and prices before I commit, but yeah the FP upgrades didn't cut it in my eyes. Although, I hope Silverbolt's bot mode at least, along with each's individual plane mode are all pretty close to their G1 designs.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

While this is nice and all, I'm pretty good with FP upgraded Superion. I bit on Devy because he's my foavorite combiner ... it'll have to be a VERY slow few months for me to get this.

I'm actually glad to hear this. I sold my FP Aerialbot set because I just didn't like the overall design and dimensions of the gestalt.

This being as big as Hercules means it will probably scale well with MT Giant and FP Bruticus-I just want Superion to be scaled a bit larger than the other gestalts. That and since my Autobots are without a combiner right now, they need someone big to help shift the balance of power.

If TFC does Superion in the same style and scale as their Devastator then I am not interested.

Holy bebus, if it is anything like Hercules, it should be a good one. I'll take all of the major gestalts even if it took a few years. Now, if you'll excuse me, i need to take a shower and cool off.

By 'same scale' they must mean same height... cos the same scale would be about twice as tall. jets are big.

I am in agreement with you Matt.

Although, I'll probably end up buying this when it's all said and done.
