No, but I continually stressed a Sixshot figure

That would be cool, but don't expect Hasbro to make all 6 modes amazing, it's a very hard thing to do. >:oP

Hard yes, but it is doable and I would love it to happen

They have a hard time with triple changers, so I don't ask too much of them. It was amazing enough to me that they got Generations Springer right, and his transformation isn't very drastic. >:oP

Were it not for some slight issues on blitzwings part, they nailed all 3 regular triple changers. Really good too. Sixshot has some alt-modes that are different, but I saw a 3rd party one and honestly his transformation was not that drastic: robots; tank: extent treads out and pull out head for wolf or turn over treads to make transport; jet mode is transport with wings and gun mode is jet with wings folded down

I took the survey and my take away is that I spend too much on figures. But outside of that:

Yeah, the artwork should look familiar, we did an article showcasing some of the artist's work when he passed a way just a few months ago. His name was Earl Norem. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/legendary-artist-earl-norem-passes-away/33296/

It is odd to see Optimus' nose though.

Also, for all those who want sixshot, we do have CW Hotspot:

Yeah I knew about him, he did a lot of g1 style art, but I just think Optimus looks really funny. :lol:

Rest is peace Earl, rest in peace. T_T

I didn't get any stats at the end, just the goofy storybook picture with the bots and co laughing. When I hit done it just took me to a page to sign up to make my own polls.

Who needs that, when you could get the hasbro rid megatron? 10(+) changer all the way 8-)

Call me crazy, but I actually really like his 'gauntlet' mode, take that combiner kibble [-(

News Credits: 1646 · Fri Aug 28, 2015 6:22 pm

RiD Megatron is great yes, and that hand mode is badass! But I want a new and proper 6-changer. They did excellent with 3 modes, and they proved they can do one with I believe 11, so surely they can do 6

Remember, everyone: The correct answer to "which is your favorite 3rd party company?" and "which 3rd party companies are you likely to purchase products from in the future?" is "Other: It doesn't matter." It's none of their business. No need to paint targets for Hasbro's lawyers. Hasbro just needs to step up its game, release the figures we're looking for to complete our collections, and ensure high levels of quality and design in what they release. The 3rd parties would naturally move away from their current focus on Transformers-specific figures if Hasbro is satisfying collectors' desires.

At the end of the day, most of us are adult collectors that aren't buying cheap knock-off garbage because we can't afford Hasbro products. The reality is the bulk of the current 3P market is there to compliment and supplement our existing HasTak collections with figures HasTak has chosen not to product or has not done a good job designing/producing.

Or maybe they will start taking note on things that company is doing and use that look to improve their own figures?
IDK, I don't do 3P stuff
