Looks good to me.

If these are available at a decent price then I reckon they'll sell loads of them, definitely a smart move making a figure people would use for army building.

The bot mode is off-putting, but a troop of these would be cool!

this will help me to determine if I should get interested in their products..

First two I agree with. Last one, it seems stupid with the articulation they are able to put out to release a figure EXACTLY like it's G1 counterpart(but smaller) and not make an attempt at some kind of show accuracy.

I would freakin' jump at a chance to buy an updated design for these things that have decent articulation.

awesome...ANOTHER announced project from iGear when they've never released ANYTHING...

I'm finding it hard to get excited about their stuff anymore (no matter how cool it might look) since it's starting to feel like nothing they show us is ever going to reach the public...

IF this comes out I will definately get it...But I can't see Hasbro being too thrilled about this...They can call it whatever they want but there is NOTHING that differentiates this from an actual Sharkticon...The design is an exact copy of the original (even if it's smaller and even it were to have more articulation or a slightly different transformation, there has been no attempt made to mask what this is)

Yeah cuz they really went crazy with the Dinorobots to make them extensively different. :roll:

I never said the Dinorobots were ok either...But I wasn't talking about them...I was talking specifically about iGear...

It's **** like this that's making Habro start to speak up on 3rd party products...Seems like all these companys are doing great, just releasing addons and upgrades to the original toys but then start getting big heads about it because Hasbro hasn't said anything and then they decide to push it a little farther and start copying Hasbros stuff outright...

One of these days Hasbro WILL do something about this and then guess what? No 3rd party products for anyone...

Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't...
