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

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.

I'm hoping they do actually. But like you also, I haven't heard anything since the original news about it. Since then, it's been hush hush. I still think it's coming since the lineart looked like a finished prototype. But what the hell do I know. :???:

Damn you and your "Notcon" exclusive. :lol:

Wait, what? Both iGear and FP are doing minibots? Hmm... I guess it will fall to whomever has the most affordable versions. I'm betting it will be Fansproject.

I think "MakeToy" is FansProject side/sister company. I believe that they did this because MakeToy will probably be really close to IP infringement and should something go wrong, it's still a separate entity from FansProject.

I may be passing on MakeToy's stuff since so far I don't need Seaspray or Powerglide.

I'm having a Dejavue moment from 2009 here. Let's hope iGear won't get bored from designing all this stuff and then not producing it in the end like the last time they announced so many products in one go.

I don't think so, they where just displayed together on a TFSource table showcasing 3rd party products, if you look at the pics you can even see iGear's MP Ramjet boxes next to FP's Insecticons, and the BTS stuff like the matrix pack.

I wish I could say
"I got a Rager"
or
"I got a Spray"
But these are both too small for the scale of my collection. I hope the next few are appropriate at their size.

Mon Jun 06, 2011 3:12 pm

Their scale is perfect, tired of out of scale huge mini bots.... See powerglide. I made an account just to post on this. I can't wait for a long overdue accurate toy representation of brawn!

You and me both buddy! I loved the minibots, growing up in a home of modest means these were some of the few TF's I could get a hold of without the benefit of a special occasion like Christmas or a Bday. Glad they are getting so much attention.

A lot of my childhood G1 figures were minibots too for the same reason, hehe.

The reason why it is out of scale for me is because I am trying to keep a semi-realistic theme in my collection where all vehicle modes are in scale with each other (seperately for each faction). Can't have a tiny hovercraft next to a giant sports car. Definitely great looking figures though, and I am jealous of those who are able to get them

And when i said I hope the next few are appropriate for their size, I meant that their alt modes make sense with the rest of my classics.

wrong post

Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:05 pm

Pretty sure those silhouettes are their pics from the Dreamwave MTMTE profiles. Be nice to get Bad Boy from Powerglide.

Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:37 pm

i will def be gettin powerglide, beachcomber and cosmos. im not too sure about huffer yet. i hope one of them is brawn though. that would be cool.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 5:42 pm

YES! I knew they'd have to make Powerglide eventually! (You can clearly make out his silhouette.)

Mon Jun 06, 2011 6:31 pm

MUSTT GETT!!!!!

Mon Jun 06, 2011 6:44 pm

... zi feel rather tempted, here. And I normally don't get iGear stuff.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 6:55 pm

If one of them turns out to indeed be Wheelie then I will most likely get him (subject to a release by Perfect Effect. And with Buzzer and Lazer due out any week now a new reveal from them seems imminent.)

While I have no issues with Minibots of varying sizes I do prefer Bumblebee to be my second smallest (at least joint second). But I do really want a complete team of Minibots, so I hope these are amazing.

News Credits: 5 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:23 pm

i have a feeling the one to the right of huffer, is gears not pipes

News Credits: 409 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:34 pm

I am hoping Brawn and Gears are in there somewhere.

Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:40 pm

Huffer is my favorite minibot. I'll be getting him for sure.....

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:11 pm

pipes? really???

damn it, i lost my job 2 days ago, i cant afford this :sad:

News Credits: 335 · Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:48 pm

Both parties Minibots look really good. I'm really hoping FP makes a bangin' Warpath. I am still kinda let down by Generations Warpath (head only, the rest is money)

Lookin' forward to Wheelie and Cosmos too! Oh, and Beachcomber! Honestly, all of them including a new inscale-with BB and CJ to go along with the new line.

Seaspray (revealed), Beachcomber, Brawn, Brawn repaint

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.

That is the whole reason I bought firetrap. He looks more like the perfect substitute 'Classics' Brawn than the actual Delxue class Brawn figure they came out with. However, displaying Brawn, Firetrap and Breacher side-by-side makes for a pretty darn intimidating looking group of 'Bots but yes, Firetrap does make the perfect 'Brawn' figure.

Agree 100%. Thank god I'm not the only one that thinks it doesn't look right.

Also, agreed.

it is a pity hasbro couldn't out this themselves i fear they'll start cracking down on these 3rd party companies because to be honest there making hasbro look bad. over the last 12 month i've brought more 3rd figures and accessory kits than ever before. i can't wait for i-gear to improve on classics ravage(fingers crossed) then the rest of the cassettes.
