If people have a problem with staff taking action in threads, I ask that you PM the staff member involved and discuss it with them privately.

More so when a staff member has told everyone to get the thread back on topic. Turning the thread back onto topic AFTER you've "gotten the final word in" is incredibly transparent.

Rated X, feel free to edit out the off-topic part of your post.

(the things I miss taking a day off of the boards...)

I still have NO idea what this product is doing. I mentioned long ago that I would've liked Hexatron scale well with KFC's Citizen Stack (which some people jumped on me for), but that was simply to say I thought Stack was being produced too large. I certainly didn't ask for a larger Hexatron.

I really wasn't interested in this product, but now it's just difficult to keep up with what's being offered.

Was pondering if, Clonedroid, Got the CAD Files from the factory For Sixshot, BTS Nova Lord and FP Diesel. Or did Clonedroid just get a MMC Hexatron toy and reverse engineer it. It's plausible
that all of these toys are being made in the same factory. While BTS Nova Lord is not released yet, It's plausible that Clonedroid was able to take the CAD files from the factory at some point when BTS was creating those test shots last year at the factory.

If BTS as a company is closed down or has no plans to do Nova Lord. I'm hoping CloneDroid takes those taken CAD files for BTS Nova Lord and releases a toy of this.

Thank you for the pics and news.

If the toy is priced low and it's bigger than Hexatron. I'll be buying one.

Trying to find a site that will sell this will be a challenge. I'd greatly appreciate some news agents to provide links to sites that are selling this toy. I'd prefer a American based seller. So I save money on shipping and it ships faster. Hoping ebay and Ioffer sell this toy.

Would never buy a Upscaled Generations Thunderwing toy at these 3rd party KO prices. The Generations toy was too simplified in sculpt and Transformation. It would look terrible in the Voyager, Ultra, Leader or bigger toy scales.

If CloneDroid were to upscale Mania King to a Leader scale toy and fix the wrist. This toy could pull it off successfully. As it's more complicated and higher in sculpt, engineering and Transformation.

Oh we are on the same page on thunderwing. I didnt mean upscale the classics version i simply reffered to the size shown here and thunderwing done in this scale would be fantastic. The classics mold completely fails to capture him in every way. Though i do like the face sculpt hasbro went with.

You do realize that Generations Thunderwing just might have more engineering than Leader Class Jetfire has, right?

Just because a toy is smaller doesn't mean it isn't complex or wouldn't look good upscaled.

Think the Clonedroid Sixshot robot head looks just as worse as the MMC head. POV, FansProject creates the best looking robot heads.

Whats up with those rubber tires,They look oversized, sloppy and loose on the toy. Looks like Clonedroid just threw the hollow rubber tires over the solid whole MMC Hexatron plastic tires. Doesn't look like Clonedroid resculpted the MMC plastic tires by creating a wheels rim where the rubber tires fit over.

Read on TFW, The diecast metal caused some problems and needed to get fixed. Thats the reason for the release delays.

If this is bigger than Hexatron and the price isn't too high, I'd buy one.

Read on TFW, That the Diecast metal parts might get removed because they weren't working out as planned.

Oh wow. There goes their investment, and I wonder how they are going to recuperate their losses with Hexatron Continuum around the corner. Unless these sell for a significantly reduced price comapred to HC they might as well just scrap the entire thing and just sell the helmet/weapons as addon kits.

Think Clone Droid still has the increased Hexatron scale to draw in some buyers.

Agree that price will play a factor if it sells good or bad.

Kinda wanted this to get released months ago. So Clone Droid could focus on releasing other projects like BTS Nova lord. Guessing Clone Droid might have the stole CAD files from the factories for Nova Lord. when BTS used the factory to create test shots of Nova lord last year.

But is the size increased ever confirmed though? They never post any actual side by side comparisons, and the one that did are shown with 1 figure being held closer to the camera and at a weird angle, so I assumed the Clonedroid version is just a simple retool.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Sep 09, 2014 8:05 am

I heard that the die cast parts are costing Clone Droid too much to produce, and they are thinking of removing the die cast bits completely.

do we even know how big he is yet? and im going to need the differences between this thing and hexatron pointed out to me. cause i aint seein any.

Tue Oct 28, 2014 2:29 pm

Please remind me why this exists? No, nevermind. Also, there's the new version of Hexatron you can pre-order that includes some redesigns.

This project has always felt unnecessary to me.

I've been following this project for months on the TFW forums,According to this thread http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... xshot.html

The info I got was, New robot head, New wolf head with a longer snout, Rubber tires. The diecast metal looks like it's back in the newer pics. Slightly different color scheme. Certain tabs and joints were fixed that had problems on the MMC version.

I've seen pics of Clonedroid Sixshot next to MMC Hexatron. CloneDroid Sixshot's toy looked like it was a few inches taller in robot mode. Since the toy had so many problems and got vast retooling. Certain things like extra height might have been removed.

Lets not forget MMC newest Hexatron re-release called Continum has it's minuses and problems. Like no two swords included. Mistmatched Snow white and offwhite colors on the same toy. A newer robot head that still doesn't look good. Putting a clear green-blue tint on the wings. Added details colors that make the toy look worse.

About the only positives, I see with MMC Hexatron Continum. Is the Two newer guns that looks better than the original ugly sculpted thin narrow guns.

Personally, If I were to buy another 3rd party Sixshot toy. I'd be a buyer for the Clonedroid Sixshot toy. As it's a few inches taller in robot mode. Has all that diecast metal parts added. Newer robot and wolf heads,rubber tires and fixed parts.

my big problem with MMC Hexatron was that he was a half inch shorter than MP-09 and MP-10. Think a newer update 3rd party Sixshot should be a head or Two taller than MP-09 and MP-10.

Surprised this toy is actually getting released, Thought it was cancelled.

Most looking forward to this toy getting released. So Clonedroid can focus on releasing their Two other teased Projects which were BTS Nova lord and that Motormaster.

Think Clonedroid stole the CAD files and possible injected molds from BTS last year. Guessing CloneDroid has it's assemble factory in the same building that MMC and BTS has.

Lets not forget BTS did show almost finished Test Shots of Nova Lord. So CAD files, Inject molds and test shots exist or existed at the assembly factory overseas.

tsu.. neither of these six shots are MP scaled.

personally i like continuum. and i trust the quality of MMC more than the new kid on the block (who stole the other kids toys BTW). clonedroids quality is a gamble since this is their first piece.
