Saw it this morning, i honestly expected them to do Devastator first, after they teased him with Omega.
Looks good so far, but it's just 3D renders.

That is...a really good Concorde! Well done Fanstoys! It's not perfect but when you're working with a pointy tube bolted to a flat metal triangle, AND it has to form a torso, I can forgive it.

That Harrier though, oh dear. I think it's a bit of a sad state of affairs when the old TFC Slingshot, a much cheaper and smaller figure from years ago, has an infinitely more convincing jet mode. And that wasn't even aiming for MP scale!

I have no interest in owning an MP scaled combiner, but depending on how the individuals turn out I might scoop up one of them for my planned MP collection. The deciding factor will, of course, be who has the best jet mode. A shame the Zeta Toys Fireflight is a bit of a clumsily made thing because his Phantom mode is gorgeous.

I, for one, am very interested in a shot of the combined mode, even a render.
I suspect we'll be seeing more photos of these over the coming weeks. If they want to get people excited for this, they have to show what everything will look like.

I'm a little tired of seeing the same half-dozen combiner teams done over and over, frankly. I'd like to see a new character, like Throttler, or at least an obscure one, like Raiden.

Or the Multiforce! That'd be a good one! I'd like to see a modern take on the Multiforce.

I am actually really interested in this, and it will probably change my future 3P combiner buying plans.

I have a lot of faith in FT as a company as they produce beautiful and high quality figures. I don't think we'll see any official MP combiners any time soon (an idea which I've slowly gotten on board with) and I want to stick with the current cartoon accurate styling. I was pretty close to pulling the plug on Unique Toys' Bruticus... but now that I know FT is in the combiner game... well... I think I'll just wait and see what they have to offer first.

I'm totally on board for this. 8-)
