I'll give you that he looks really nice. But he doesn't look like a Predacon... the TFC limbs look like repaints (Rhinox, Cheetor, etc.), which bothers me some. But I'm not invested, so it's really not my place to complain.

Wish all of these 3rd party combiners. Were creating combiners in the same scale and combiner ports-slots tech. Would of loved the option of mixing and matching figures. Even the abilty to swap out heads with another companies similar character would have been nice to do.

It bugs me how far away they strayed from the source material here. I still like the overall look, though.

One day, when these are all a set and somewhat discounted, they will be mine.

The only thing that I like here is the wings. The rest of him is just too... "busy"? The reds are just too random, and makes the overall look messier than Bayformers.

Proportion wise his legs look far too short.

I think that's just an optical thing due to the tail feathers.

I was thinking the same thing. But, even if I erase the tail feathers from between his legs, he still seems to suffer the same thing as me: long torso.

they look really good all assembled together.

Holy **** they look amazing

!!! And seeing them all assembled in their beast modes like that definitely makes me glad I bought 2 sets. That sword still sucks, but that combined mode is flawless.

Like the robot mode and robot head sculpt better than the MMC Divebomb.

Minus the ugly non-G-1 beast head, Like the rest of the beast mode sculpt.

Thought the wings being fully articulated and becoming swords for Divebomb was nice and clever.

This was also a good way to "stand out" from the other two not-Divebombs produced. As much as I think MMC's set is the better version, I'm starting to warm up to TFC's. Definitely the combined mode, but some of the individual bot modes as well.

Holy Slag.

I NEED this.

I love everything about it. The beast modes all look fantastic. The robot modes look much better and less blocky than the MMC versions. And that combined mode...He's spiky, he's detailed, he's menacing, he's just awesome.

I was considering MMC's offering, but seeing this, I'm going TFC. The MMC version has kinda lame beast modes that look like bricks on legs, and the robot modes looked a bit derpy too. The MMC combined mode looks OK, but I much prefer this version. I'm also glad they chose to break away from slavishly following the (kinda lame) G1 design and made it look great in its own right.

So yeah, another winner from TFC. Also, with the extra thumbs, when they're split apart you could probably have them crawling alongside the Predacons.

Yep, you pretty much summed up my every thought about these (and MMC's). I'm just waiting for my 2 TFC not-Divebombs to hit my PoL. I can't wait to have all 5 combined and all 5 in beast mode. It's gonna make for one epic display.

Any word of this getting a full set of 5 giftset release like with Hercules? I'd much rather buy them all at once (preferably after the hype's gone down a bit and prices are lower) than separately.

Also, I worked out one of the things I love about this; the colours. They're so much more saturated and bold than MMC's kinda washed out colours. Different strokes for different folks, but I really like the bright colours on Ares.

correct me if im wrong, but i dont think herc was ever released in a giftset (like quantron). sold in complete sets sure, but still seperately boxed. and since theyve been coming out one at a time anyways, i doubt it.

Ah, my mistake- I meant the complete bundles of all the figures separately boxed but available as part of 1 deal rather than an actual giftset.

(Also, good to hear Quantron is available all together- he looks pretty badass).
