I like this, although the colours are a mix of Sixknight and Quickswitch - mostly Quickswitch but with the blue from Sixknight.

In color, and properly transformed, this guy looks so much better than some of those prototype pics we saw earlier. I am definitely hopeful I'll have Sixshot's son soon.

Agreed. The proto pics really made it look like crap. The bot mode looks very good now. I'm still not getting one just because I've no attachment to the character and I don't like this thing THAT much, but it definitely looks worlds better than it did before, so props to FP on the improvements.

While I don't know the Character, and he hasn't shown up in the IDW-verse (much to my very minor annoyance), I do like the design, and he's an updated G1 character which means I'll be getting him.

Sweet stuff so far. Now, let's see the modes. Any guess how big this guy is?

A 6.4 inch robot Voyager is my guess.

Thanks for the pics.

What a difference colors applied to a toy makes. I'm blown away by how great Quickswitch looks. If it's Voyager or bigger and cost under $90, I'll consider being a buyer for this.

That looks really, really great!! I'm all over this guy.

Once again, we are in agreement good sir!

Wow! What a difference from the prototype.

Still not sure if I'm getting him, as I'm not attached to the character, but price and alt mode pics may sway me.

Both decos look awesome. Im sold. A mold that awesome can sway me to have an attachment to a character I never knew anything about.

I'll get one of each please.

Sweet! I'll get one.

I'm getting the 6 Knight version! ETA?

News Credits: 409 · Thu Aug 21, 2014 8:47 pm

I didn't think it was possible for this guy to look so good in bot mode especially with the clashing red and green color scheme. The visor and headsculpt really add to the figure. I would like to see more alt mode pics.

That shuttle mode is looking pretty nice.

I think I'll buy this.

The only fail mode is the wolf, IMO. There has to have been a better way of executing that head.

Yeah, the head just looks... dorky? Dorky to me. But other than that, here's another hole in my Classics collection filled!

News Credits: 10 · Fri Aug 22, 2014 5:12 pm

I don't know what it is, but I kinda like the dorky looking head. I wonder if some reprolables are going to help.

And I agree with fenrir72: I'd like to know an eta so I can plan accordingly...

Fri Aug 22, 2014 5:59 pm

Well, I won't speak for gauntlet, but for me, the head's too pushed-in and mushy. There's no visible eyes, except maybe those two yellow dots? And the blue stripe down the middle contrasts horribly with the red.

But other than the head on one mode I won't be displaying him in, he looks great.

Think that beast head is ugly and weird looking.

Since this is FP and I see the pics. This toy looks like it's overly complicated to Transform. Which I think is a minus, since no one like to break a Exspensive 3rd party toy.
