There is a lot of stuff hanging off of Motor Mouth in robot mode. I hope there is an option to remove them.

I now have Dead End and Drag Strip in hand and I'm really liking them. Dead End seems to have a bit more height/bulk than the others and he also has shiny base plastic. Drag Strip looks cool with his clear plastic parts, but they are slightly at odds with the rest of them. A very successful alt mode overall though.

Looks like the pegs just flip down. The pegs won't be completely hidden, but it should look less shouldery nipplacious.

Have we seen these new figures/prototypes in other threads..?

There is a FansProject Roadbuster thread in this very forum, but to be honest, the thing looks 'meh'. It's not getting a lot of love at the moment

viewtopic.php?f=215&t=95765

On another note, Menasor's headsculpt is a bit lacklustre. After all these years, FansProject still struggle producing decent faces

The one in the middle is Smart Robin, the coloured one on the left is Quadruple U and the winged one must be Mindwipe seeing as he appears in the background of another image.

So i just bought deadend from kapow i love the limbs but mm and menasor i'm not sure how i'm feeling about these guys right now.

Don't get me wrong MM looks decent but i hate the fact those shoulder pegs have no were to hide unless he's tooled up yes they might fold down but it's not part of the robots look and is really irritating to me and i think the fact that there is no full colour shots yet, one of these prototypes should have been painted at least once by now and it's stopping me from feeling comfortable about buying him which also runs into menasor through not having a full painted figure.

what i think they should have done with mm is made a 3rd option were the trailer/weaponry breaks down into an upgrade armour for mm to add some extra height and bulk to basic figure it would hide those pegs.

Menasors head is so weak aswell.

My FP Last Chance..

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 4:01 pm

I got my Deadend yesterday and he is great nice simple transformation took me a couple of minutes tops no instructions needed great looking alt mode but the stripe on mine doesn't align all the way back but that's a nit pick.

Robot mode i love the head sculpt it's so g1 and the purple eyes look great with the gold face, the only thing that didn't click was the chest into the waist but that would hinder the waist articulation so i don't care it's not like it's loose and flops. i just noticed on daimchocs pics the foot heel i never noticed it before.

It would have been nice if the other three had that extra bit height he has but what ever and again the bio could have been better . Glad i got these four i hope i think the same about MM

Anyone else surprised we still don't have any preorders for not-Motormaster? Or are they up, and I'm just missing them (I stick fairly exclusively to TFsource)?

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 3:14 pm

Nope. No preorders. I've even been trying the BBTS hidden links, and I've seen nothing. I'm worried that there are complications...

News Credits: 118 · by **megatronus** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 3:23 pm

I remain hopeful that there are improvements, either in the weakish head or the forearm/elbow gaps we've all bemoaned at one point or another.

I think this is the first 3rd Party combiner where ALL the combining parts are coming with the last robot. This gives FP a unique opportunity to improve the final combiner based on feedback received throughout the release of the first 4 figures.

Or at least... I hope that's the case.

From what I've heard there has been a massive heatwave in SE Asia where a lot of these factories are, forcing many to close because they are too cheap for air conditioning and don't want their entire staff to die from heatstroke.

That actually makes me feel terrible; I'm sure those workers don't get paid when the factories close.

Hmm... it seems I have a soul. Who knew?

Well i can testify that the asian hemisphere is hot as burning hell. But theres no excuse why the four limbs are all standing on my shelf but there isnt even a colored prototype of the damn torso ! And that has nothing to do with the factory workers. What are they supposed to assemble if fansproject doesnt give them something to work with ?

UUUU never had a color prototype just pics of final product days before retailer has it to ship.

MMC Bovis ??? (month old video reviews in living color) So what's FP's excuse for not even giving us a color render of Motormaster like other companies do ?
