Seibertron.com is a Transformers fansite. It is not a fansite about 3rd party products. I do NOT care for 3rd party products. I am TIRED of seeing the stuff here on this site. That's all it comes down to.

yeah. of course, I think Hasbro has the right to use the likeness of any 3rd party figure based on one of their characters, and I think we've seen evidence of this sort of thing before. I can't remember when or where but I recall an image of the Insecticons that bore a striking resemblance to the Fans Project Causality ninja bugs.

assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Broadside, in some of the early issues, also looks a lot like Warbot Assaulter.

And Hound appears to be pulling a 'blue steel'. If I were Hasbro, I'd be none too chuffed with an iGear product appearing on a licensee's front cover!
