Function X - f[x] = combin (f9,J12)

Possible "combining" purpose as well????

Don't you just love it when a 3P company overloads you with information

by **alternator77** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:24 am

Whatever it is im sure itll be something worth adding to my collection.
Then again the term function x refers to scienctific calculations and whos more scientific than computron???
Just an opinion >:oP

Yeah, I think I see some members of the Technobots there too. The first bot has a decidedly squarish head of a Scramble City limb. I'd love a Neo-Computeron. And how about a Neo-Defensor, while we're at it?

I see the Technobots too ...

I'd rather see Defensor, though. Since he's the last unclaimed Season 1-2 combiner.

Edit: TFW points out that these very well may be the Headmaster line that was teased back at TFcon. I can see that a lot too.

Yeah, Function X is FPs Headmasters line. So, no Technobots just yet. Glad to see they're rolling forward with this line though and not letting it stagnate like their Glacierbots or Collector a.k.a. Junkion Combiner.

These are head masters... The only reason why I posted possible combining effect was due to the equation.

Seems kind of dumb to tease something they already have shown drawings of. (Headmasters) But I kind of blame the fans for the creation of teasers. If more people sent 3rd party companies e-mails denouncing the use of teasers, they might listen eventually. Instead they fill up these threads with pages of "guess who" comments. On topic, I hope it is the Headmasters. With Superion coming out this year, plus Menasor and 2 Predakings in the works, I would like them to save the others for later so collectors have time to afford them all over time.

I see teasers as something akin to reality shows. No one seems to really like them that much, but they are easy to produce and can generate a lot of comment...

Now, if only the bots drank moonshine, argued with each other over designing the best alt mode, cut down trees that landed on Allicons, and drove over frozen crab traps all while trying to sing the best rendition of "You've Got the Touch" at each other's weddings, we'd have a real pop sensation on our hands.

(Personally I kind of like the speculation...)

I guess this at least verifies that they're moving forward with these guys. I'm looking forward to them.

I am sure the 3rd parties use the teasers as chance to test out the waters and read comments on boards like this before commiting financially to the project. It's better to know fans' reactions before you start investing.

I'm all about the babies man, so I bought in.

by **Agamemnon** » Tue Dec 11, 2012 3:28 pm

FP has yet to cease impressing me. The way they encouraged giving to the Red Cross after the Japanese Tsunami, and now this, I have the utmost respect for the organization. While I am one who has the greatest of intentions in donating, and sometimes follows through, it's activities like this that really help spur me to action. Pre-ordered!

Also, props to BBTS. One of these days I'll hop across the border into Wisconsin and shake some hands.
