They come just to the knee of Voyager classics Prime:

I think (but it is a bit hard to tell) the FP minibots a closer to Scout class:

the g2 prime there is a deluxe (granted, he has some gloves on and stuff) but they only come up to his thigh. I'm not sure there will be a considerable size difference between these different sets of mini bots.
I am liking these iGear ones more at the moment, but pricing and colours will determine my purchase of either.

They are all must haves! But this Powerglide is a hell of a lot better than that POS Hasbro dumped on the fans...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Attempted translation:

The Minbots (which is what he meant; minibots and minicons are NOT the same thing) are all very disappointing in my opinion. I'd be happy if someone would make them all the same size (Deluxe) as Classics/Henkei Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Fansproject motivated me to hunt down Cliffjumper on account of their upgrade kit, which I have. I was also motivated to hunt down Bumblebee on account of their G3 Trailer. The Fansproject Minibots, however, seem very low quality compared to their past products. I MIGHT just buy it if they sell more at a time rather than separately. They seem about the same size as Perfect Effect Rumble and Frenzy. Still, I think I'll cave if they release all the other G1 Minibots and sell them as a set. It all depends on who does it first: iGear or Fansproject.

[Disclaimer: I agree with next to nothing said here.]

I bet the FP ones are closer to scout size than you think. Remember how much height the Protector armor added. Regardless, I think the FP Seaspray looks better and will most likely be cheaper. I'll pick up iGear's Huffer though. I'm glad to see some third art competition.

How are they "your pics"? They are from iGear's facebook page, unless of course you are somehow associated with iGear. If that's the case you and I need to become friends. :grin:

I mean no offense and I appreciate you posting here, I'm just curious.

Ummmm......what about PCC Huffer? Is he not G1 enough for you? He fits in just fine with my Classics collection. What we need is a scout size Gears or Brawn. Then I will be excited. Especially at igear prices. I'm sure these will run north of $50 each minimum....

I'm sure iGear will be pumping out a Gears and Brawn soon enough.

I wish iGear's Huffer was closer to the size of the GoD one.

Very interesting. Now I know and knowing is half the battle.

In that case by all means post "your pics" all you want, fabexmax!

Minibot lovers rejoice! If the news that iGear was planning on releasing their own versions of Huffer and Seaspray didn't get you excited enough already take a look at the latest image they've posted to their facebook page. The images show the two previous mentioned versions of Seaspray and Huffer dubbed Spray and Rager respectively, as well as silhouettes for six other Mini Warriors. The image is mirrored below for easy viewing.

Wow, I've never seen a company reveal so many projects at once. How are they going to get these out in a timely manner?

News Credits: 3 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 12:44 pm

so thats def cosmos on the bottom right...

News Credits: 5749 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 12:56 pm

I'm thinking the top row is Beachcomber, Brawn, and Windcharger. The bottom row is fairly obvious, Pipes, Powerglide, and Cosmos.

I think you are spot on.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 1:01 pm

So I'm guessing :

Seaspray (revealed), Beachcomber, Brawn, Brawn repaint
Huffer (revealed), Pipes, Powerglide, Cosmos

Looks like we'll be having a dual of the minibots coming up!

I'm OK with this

I'm using Firetrap for Brawn and he works really well.
I unscrewed the snowplow, and it works even better.

I'm still waiting to see how PE's Wheelie will look. Less G1 probably, but so far I love their redo of some characters. Liking what I do see and have seen so far from the con. Only going to be getting what I need however. I won't need any Seaspray's or Powerglides. Hasbro/Tak has that covered.

*edit*
Wheelie being the top right

Wheelie was my second guess behind Windcharger. Which would be fine by me since WC already has a nice classic incarnation.

I hope the top right is Wheelie instead of WC since Hasbro has already taken care of him. (He is very nice btw

)

Is PE still planning on releasing their take on Wheelie? It was teased with the Laserbeak mold but I dont remember seeing anything else about it.
