I was under the impression this was going to be a massive retool so that the alt mode would look like the vintage 80s car crasher turned into. All I see here is Mirage painted like crasher. For that might as well just stick with Hasbro Fracture. Plus the mold is too big anyways.

Finally! My neo-G1 Go-Bots are coming along nicely. I needed another Renegade. Plus, I really liked this mold and will be happy to have this recolor instead of Mirage, for whom I really like the old Classics mold. :DANCE:

I'm on the other side of this fence, as I prefer the classics recolor for Crasher and this for Mirage. At least until we get a proper Crasher made from a Porsche 956.

That may happen sooner rather than later if this is an indication:

This is an awesome sculpt to go from, and the paint apps are pretty sweet from these new pictures. If you don't have the Mirage version of this figure yet, please correct that mistake as soon as possible!

I want her!

So, that'll be two of seven that I want.

Think they should have made the face look a bit more feminine. Definately should have remove the beard chin. sculpted plump lips with pink or red lipstick on the face would have gave a hint it was a female face.

Yeah, I saw those. But this is available now! #SixYearOldInsideMe

I am intrigued by those more official ones and may get them if they ever come to light. I'm keeping an eye out. Crasher could be like Defender/Generations Springer on my shelves...

Saw this on BBTS and couldn't place what it was an homage to. Now I get it. Thanks all.
I have been toying with the idea of getting Mirage, but never pull the trigger because I'm sure Tak will get around to an MP.
I would grab this on deco and name alone.
Anybody know what the name Cocomone is in reference to? I can't stop giggling every time I say it. :lol:

It sounds like it good be the name of a fat, old timey, jazz singer from New Orleans, who might just change the way a young man sees the world through song and other aspects. If you catch my drift.

The name pronunciation reminds me of the name of inuyasha Girl friend called, Kagome.

B...E..A..Utiful!!! (And the chin piece comes off more as helmet piece for me than beard...)

I kinda wanna get this fig for My MP collection and just slap a

sticker on it. Just make a whole new charactor. That color scheme is fantastic. Looks like David Bowie, or Moch from Rock and Rule. (Anybody know that movie?)Totally 70's Glam Rock. :lol:

She's processing at BBTS.

Ah, my fourth updated go-bot.

Indeed, and after I just shipped my POL this week. Alas, I'll wait for a few more things. But I'm excited to get this in hand. It looks awesome!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts guys. Please snap some in-hands if you have the means.
Thanks.

My order shipped - huzzah! :KREMZEEK:

This should look great with Salmoore, and I'm loving the use of Tamashii Effects in the above pics!

Cocomone came in the other day - I'm a bit underwhelmed to tell the truth. I wish the heels functioned a bit better, but mostly I'm (surprisingly) not a huge fan of the rubber wheels. If you're not going to add texture to the rubber, might as well have plastic instead.
