THE WINNER IS……… HOS

Don't hurt yourself. Buy them both :grin:

Although, we haven't seen anything new from the HOS version in quite some time.

So far I am completely sold on the Causality line. I'm very excited to see what the last two spots will be. =P~

These seem oddly simplistic for FansProject, but they still look fantastic. Definitely worth a buy.

These will be preordered as soon as it opens.

No more so than Munitioner and Explorer were. Same scale, same price, same level of sophistication. Same awesome.

Jaw dropping awesome. I don't think I've ever liked the looks of a figure(s) so much even before it was painted.

The reason why I still going to get the HOS version is because I’m on a limited budget and they so far have stayed in a reasonable price area.

These look amazing. Depending on the colors they will be the first 3rd party items i buy. I WANT ALL THREE!

Whether it has been mentioned or not, these do mirror the Deluxe Insecticons more than the original and with good reason.

Mastermind Creations is making the hearts of Steel versions, which is G1 original mold inspired.

Now I have to decide if I want to get both versions = yes, yes , yes.

That is understandable. But, supposedly, these three figures should be released one at a time, a month apart from one another at about 40-50 dollars. Maybe less. That makes them a little more affordable.

Don't know if anyone has noticed it yet or not... but in the background picture for Stormshred it looks like the claws can also be pieced together to make a giant shuriken. Not that we needed another reason to pick up these beauties, just something I figured I'd point out.

Either way, definitely a buy in my book.

Ooo, pretty. *drool*

I think that's all that needs to be said here. That and "preorders, please."

by **g60force** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 3:16 pm

Well for now my own creation Classics Insecticons are good enough

(and I'm already making barrage, when venom is the last I'll try to work out a combiner)

What, no guns? :-(

I'd prefer it if they were more G1 accurate but they're probably the closest we'll get to filling the Classics gap. So how much will it cost for all three? About 120?

by **Court Jester** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 4:52 pm

BTW -

I really hope they limit preorders to two of each per customer. Freakin' vulture

1. Shrapnel's pincers not resting on his shoulders & Bombshell's horn not sticking out of/over his head, visual attributes that, imho, are as key to their respective characters as the shoulder vents & tummy cockpits are to the seekers

2. Shrap & Kickback having face plates? I understand FP's giving these figs a ninja theme, but still...

Otherwise, these figs are made of win!

I am feeling the same way. Amazing looking figures but missing the things that make them unique to their characters. it's too bad the heads don't resemble their G1-selves.

Ah, seeing some clip pegs on shrapnel.. on the back in insect mode.

Bought on site.

They look so delectable.

Not Insecticons are Winsecticons.

FP you've done it again, you've officially killed my wallet for another year. :-(

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:32 pm

I gotta admit, it's a little wierd that FP chose to exclude some definitive characteristics for these characters for their update. But they're still very nice figures and I can accept them as updated Incecticons.

by **NTESHFT** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:47 pm

WOW!! I really dig the blocky look they have. To me that gives homage to the G1 look that my old favs have. I wished it could have been done for the Beast Wars era. The only one I liked out of that was Megatron. I hope these guys stay in the 35 to 45 price rage (wishful thinking, anyways). I'm pretty sure I'll get these guys anyways, but if the price is kind of high, I'll pass on Warcry and Flameblast.....

by **synthetik** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:47 pm

They're cute. Definitely a buy

by **Dermalartist** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 6:52 pm

I am sooooo grabbing these... They have so much awesome stuff dropping this year. 2 more casualty figures, new crossfire set... Fansproject rocks my socks!!! :grin:
