Also, MINE!

and just when you least suspect it.... WHAM!
Diesel looks fantastic. I'm glad i jumped on this bandwagon. preordered from bbts as soon as i got home

Now the question is do I order FP Quake at the same time? Might be fun for Colossus and Intimidator to be able to play catch with Shockwave.

I'm lovin MM. I almost don't wanna combine them, he looks so that good.

Pre-ordered instantly. Pics in alt mode look great. Love the detail. Hope some of the kibble in robot mode are optional to remove. And I really hope Diesel has a scowling face.

Yeah, that's why I bought 2. I did the same with all 4 cars. I'm going to have one set combined and the other in vehicle mode. I couldn't help myself

It's so tempting!

But if I were to do that, I wouldn't be able to stop. Suddenly, I'd have 2 sets of Hercules & Feral Rex - and without the early bird specials, Feral Rex, is E-X-P-E-N-S-I-V-E.

As it is, I'm selling all my Classics/Movie/Prime doubles (and may even have to liquidate my Movie/Prime holdings altogether) to make way for 2-each MPs.

I salute you, courageous collector, for doing so with 3rd Parties. Well done.

That doesn't look like photoshop colouring. I'm pretty sure that's the final product.

That's too bad. You're missing out. :DANCE:

The colours on mm have made the combined mode look so good . I would have liked a silver sword mind but whatever this i can not wait to finally combine :michaelbay:

Finally. FINALLY I will have an updated Stunticons!

[Edit] The dark background hides Menasor's elbow issues nicely...

That last pic has me thinking that Intimidator might actually be (just) big enough to stand with the larger scale gestalts. MM's bot mode is ****, what with all the kibble and half the truck mode being weapons that just sorta hang there, but they will remain combined on my shelf seeing as transforming the cars is too damn risky :BANG_HEAD:

Same! It would actually make sense (to me) if he were just a tad smaller, the Stunticons being cars vs. construction vehicles or monstrously large robotic animals, etc.

Yea, I dunno if these guys will ever be transformed to bot mode. Though I would like a second set to keep in vehicle mode... they look so nice!

It took so long that I've also lost a lot of enthusiasm for the project. But I'ms till down for it. Ordered off Captured Prey. I know it'll likely take longer, but I want in on the loyalty program discount.

I like how it all looks so far, but FP could have definitely handled this entire set better. A little communication goes a long way.

That's why I can live with these guys being a bit smaller, but any other combiner teams would have to be bigger.

That said, a larger gestalt that used parts of MM for Menasor's forearms and the leg bots started below the knees instead of covering them, would be fine as well. That'd allow for Deluxe cars and an Ultra truck.

I don't need (or want) a second set of these guys, but where some other teams are concerned, it is a nice fantasy.

That's all it is: a fantasy. As it is, I'm selling off my classics doubles, and perhaps all of my Movie/Prime toys, to fund my MP obsession. #-o

Nice scale, Nice bot mode and not bad truck mode.

I quite like the idea that you can remove the combiner accessories from the rear of the trailer to make a sort of moving van type truck.

And IMO he looks hes quite like his IDW incarnation in certain parts not fully but just little features.

Very well done and well worth the wait
