They eyes are now too skinny and too far apart from the nose bridge? And they might sit too far down on the face too? Too much silver above his eyes? I'm not sure? It is hard to tell from the photos I would need to see a larger shot I guess?

Or maybe it is weird shadows form the light piping and everything is fine, I really can't tell?

The darkened photo looks nice, but the angled shots don't look right?

I think I would like something in between the the old version and new version?

Trust me, this is still a WIP. As it stands, the current head looks like he is giving us the oogly eyes: 0 o Some more fixes are in order. He will look epic when finished. Source? Venksta himself.

really? i thought lots of people gave lots of craps about it. i know i did.

sure would be nice if you toned down the negativity, and didnt imply or assume everyone shares your pessimistic views. its goddam draining.

I don't think Im being any more negative than a majority of the people that posted on the Botcon forum. Did you even read it before Botcon registration went live ? For every person who liked the pirates/knights theme, 5 or more people were making fun of it. It was the most silly comic-bookish theme since shattered glass. So many people thought it was so dumb that it even spawned this:



And I bought everything from Botcon 2014 except the Pounce/Wingspan clones. I found a proper place for every figure in my collection and totally wiped my ass with the pirate crap. I don't need more silly swords. if Azim wants to make them some guns, ill be a buyer.

im not just referring to the botcon stuff. you almost dont have an opinion to share unless its negative. off the top of my head the best example is the TFC predaking thread. every update to the figures progress, ive read an update of your hate for it.

as much as it seems like im starting a fight, im not trying to. mods or whoever dont worry cause i wont continue this.

Seems like you only point out my comments on the items I think suck. You failed to mention my comments praising such figures such as feral rex, mania king, quantron, hercules, and the FP Headmasters and dinobots just to name a few. So I think youre only seeing thr Rated X comments you want to see and ignoring the rest.

Dude, melee energy weapons kick ass.

Kick ass I say!!!



I bought a butt load of the Botcon 2014 Renderform stuff, and I don't even have any Botcon 2014 figures yet. But between the discounted pricing and the bonus stuff Azim normally includes in big orders, it's worth it. I'll have no problem distributing my new armaments amongst my various shelves... especially once I get the pirates/knights dudes on what will be an inevitable clearance at the Club Store.

*checks renderforms site*

how did those come out without me seeing them??

Toy Dojo .

Thanks to Renderform we have final version images of the exclusive RFX-004 P.A.X. head upgrade kit! These are confirmed to be finalized and will be shipping to us very soon! Invoices will be sent out shortly!

well damn. s'bout time.

It's amazing that changing the faceplate makes such a major difference. I cannot wait for this.

I almost want to cave and buy Orion, just so I can put that beautiful noggin on something.

Almost...

Looks good. But what do they mean "invoices" ??? My card was charged for this back in May...

Also keep in mind that the head is sold out, too. I wouldn't want one without the other. If I do get him - and that's a big IF - it would probably be an auction for both on eBay, or something.

I haven't been impressed with most of Renderform's offerings this year, but I must admit he knocked it out the park this time. Ill be happy to get this head and slap it on Orion. Now if someone would just create a middle window post to get rid of that horrible Bay inspired split chest.

I hope this ships soon, I love it!

That Deathsauraus head they did was pretty cool too!

I missed that Deathsaaurus head. I waffled on it for a while, and when I finally talked myself into it, it was sold out.

Probably for the best.
If I was that unsure about it, I ended up saving myself the $$$.

I think the Dearhsaurus head is currently available on the RF site...

It's a pretty boss head. Totally worth it IMO.

Was a bit bumed out that I didn't get in on the freebie repro labels for.

Might be willing to buy the newer head and weapons if RF partners up with Repro labels to sell the new head, Weapons and stickers in one kit. I'd even be willing to pay $5 extra for the stickers.

Just have no desires to just buy the new head and weapons without the stickers. Think the stickers are needed to tie everything together and make them look more better.

I just got an e-mail that my Pax head just shipped.

Me too!

Can't wait.

I just got my Nemesis repaint, which will keep the original noggin.
They will look even more awesome together!

Hope there are some extras left. Would love to pick up a head - it really makes Orion something I want.

You know, the Nemesis head is supposed to be a different sculpt than the Pax one. Should be pretty cool.

argh!!! Haven't gotten an email yet... I odered a couple days after it went up though....

I think I ordered ToyWorld's Prime knowing full well that someone would make a better head. I think it's the first time I've ever done that. I'm pretty impressed with the results and can't wait to add it to my Prime.

Do you mean there is a separate Nemesis head by Renderform for Orion-B?

I meant I was gonna keep the standard head that comes with the Orion repaint.
If there is a different one available, I'd definitely check it out, but I kind of like the Orion head when it isn't directly meant to be Optimus.

That's right - that Renderform is making a new head for Orionvil as well. This is the teaser on Azim's facebook page:



Well, maybe it's a bit similar.
