Holy crap. I'm more interested in this than Menasor!

As much as I love Computron (my favorite Autobot combiner by far), I'm just not really liking any of the concept art so far. I hope that TFC still does theirs but I'll reserve final judgment until Maketoys shows some proto pics.

I'm intrigued, but not excited. I'll get excited when I see things in plastic.

This. Concept art is nice, but prototypes are nicer. We've still got two more Aerialbots to get from you guys.

TFC is making the current Aerialbots. Maketoys is completely different.

Okay, the giant cannon on Scattershot's back makes complete sense now.

Fair enough, but my general point still stands. We need prototypes first.

Aha, now these pics make sense. Do the Mayhem Mekaniks have anything to do with Computron?

Wow!!!

Want. Now. Quite badly. Impressed to see how far they've come with this project. Feel free to take your time though guys. Not like I've got anything else to spend my money on. :BOOM:

Hell yeah. As long as all the figures don't have any articulation restrictions I am completely on board.

Holy expletive deleted, this looks great.

by **guarayakha** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:27 am

Holy hell. I'm not even a fan of Computron, and now I feel like I MUST get him just to put him next to Giant, just for the sake of an epic red-green contrast death battle.

Wow, now that looks like it could take Abominus!

News Credits: 2 · by **xyl360** » Sun Jul 28, 2013 2:37 am

That's pretty impressive, but I gotta wait and see what TFC does. If they do Computron, that's probably the version I'll be getting.

That is so space hot!

Is it about time we had 1 thread to help compare the sudden abundance of combiners that are appearing in the wild? I don't mean a thread for all combiners news but merely for comparisons sake. So you could see the Crossfire Superion next to a tape measure and compare it to TFC Hercules next to a tape measure and so on.

I'm really not liking the look of this at all

If the limbs are scout size then this will be an easy pass. FP have proven with Intimidator that a lot must be sacrificed to make gestalts this small. Those things are flimsy as hell!

Some have said that they believe FP designed Intimidator a long time ago because of the old style elbows he has, so what about this guy then? Personally I'm stating think they can't (or wont) do any better.

Can't describe how underwhelmed I am by this. Hopefully TFC or MMC will do their own version.
