Rated X wrote:Looks really awesome. Sucks that its so big though. I dont see die hard MP scale fans buying these because they are not cartoon accurate. They are neo so they should have been scaled with the neo classics line. Maybe the KO guys that normally upsize figures can downsize these. That would be an instant buy for me.

Size is no issue for me when it comes to these guys Warbotron makes Colossus look like a "sissy"

for me personally i don't think i am going to get a better representation of the Combaticons and Bruticus .

A the end of the day Scale is all over the place no matter which way you turn.

Additional BBTS images:

Scale might be all over the place right now, and I guess we'll see once we have Feral Rex completed, but I'm not inclined to pick these up due to the large size. Setting aside my nitpicks with the combined mode, chest plate, etc., they would just seem out of place with the rest of my collection. What I want to do is display my gestalts together, not as one offs.

Looks cool. I think I'm going to sit this combiner out though...or at least wait until every member is out and there are video reviews.

I'm simply blown away by these pics. WB got the colors right & created a beautiful sculpt. I seriously thinking about selling ROTF Bruticus & FP Swindle,Blastoff add ons. Then use the money to buy the WB01.

Yeah, I'm going to echo this too. The fact that it's even bigger than the TFC combiners really bums me out.

I dunno, I think it will look just fine next to TFC Superion.

I think this looks awesome, and I'm as excited for this as I was for Herc.

Hold up, I thought you wanted all combiners to be G1 toy scale ? :???:

SWINDLE PICS WHEN??? Seriously, for the most part I'm out of Classics now that's to only third party item I have a preorder on until the Maketoys Omega set drops.

I wonder if someone will try to make FP Superion even bigger now - he will need Tom Cruise-style lifts on his feet!

My desired scale is the Energon Maximus's scale or slightly bigger like FP Menasor or MT Giant toys are.

It does look awesome, thats for sure. I can't see myself buying this though. I'm sure if it does well they will make other combiners to scale with it but I can't keep starting over. I'll stick with MT, FP, and MMC for my combiners. (yeah, i have the first two TFC ones as well :lol:

)

I wasn't gonna go for this at first, but those pictures of not-blastoff won me over. I like my combiners big and beefy, and this looks like a fine replacement for my FP bruticus set.

What also helped me to decide is the fact that we have pictures of all 5 members and the combined mode. That's the reason why i am not doing TFC's defensor analog at this point.

Let me pull a Don Hertzfeldt... "this gestalt is too big."

Although I'm always telling myself I need some big beefy Decepticons to take on my Autobots...I need to see a scale with classics prime. I think the combaticons should be a tad bigger than prime. I hate caring about scale sometimes. :BANG_HEAD:

I'm curious to find out what the actual height is going to be.

It seems every time someone talks about this guy he grows.
Soon he'll "Dwarf Metroplex" or be able to look you in the eye.

I suspect, in reality, he may be just a tad bigger than TFC Superion, which will be OK for me.

If that's the case good sir I'd gladly bite on this! *fingers crossed* :DANCE:
