Some people are bashing the combined mode. I'm reserving judgement until we have some reviews or finished version pics (vs. test shots).

However, even if the combined mode really, really sucks, I'm still getting these for bot modes alone. These things look amazing, and I'm super excited for them to release.



Hopefully these test shots are an indication that they'll be released soon. Who knows, maybe MMC will surprise us and drop them all at once (unlikely)...

There's a release schedule available here:

It remains to be seen how close they stick to these dates.

Thanks! Given that they're already a month or two late on Hexatron, I'm not too optimistic.

I would have liked a in hand pic of divebombs wing span with the others lined up either side of him.

More pics here from Botcon c/o TFW2005: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-new ... es-177872/

He's gonna be HUGE! IIRC, the wingspan should be about 18 inches. He's all kinds of bulk everywhere. I love it!

Also, Divebomb looks pretty good as the left arm. If I decide not to go the Saber Toothed Cat route, I think I will be happy.

Did I mention that he looks HUGE?

Talon's head is too big.

Bovis and Headstrong's alt-mode heads also seem quite large in 'bot mode.

I dunno. They still look great.

I hate to **** on the combined mode but he's so Fn chunky looking i'm actually looking forward to the individual robots now myself .

Leo Dux video from Vangelus

I had to skim through the video but omg yes he is the definitive version i need

Well, FR has been re-positioned. Thanks to yoonakron from TFW2005 for the pics.

Digibashed by LazyAza of TFW2005.... Nemesis Rex.

Can we get all five... tomorrow? Or maybe today?

SPEC. TACULAR. The only part of me which is willing to wait for this is my wallet.

Alice the goon calves aside, this thing is looking magnificent, and will go some way to redressing the relative strength of my Decepticons vs my Autobots (at least until Metroplex arrives )

They are looking good, fingers crossed MMC can stick to the current release dates

Whoah!

Do take note that the legs are extended too much in this pic while not extended enough in the latest botcon pic where Rex holds his sword high up. It's supposed to be the same height as Hercules but with a thicker torso and limbs.

Those legs are killing me a bit. Wish the kibble on the sides were removable, not necessarily to keep the sides of the legs flush, but to make it so he's not forced into such a wide "A" stance.

I can understand not liking the wider stance, normally I'd agree completely. This time however I'm liking it because I love how bulky he is! I will definitely be extending the legs to much so he is a little taller than Herc

LOL - gives me a reason to pose him dynamically

So, when FR is transformed correctly, he'll be the same height as War Lord, but bulkier?

I'm curious about the chest peg in Rampage. On Divebomb I assume he has a peg in his abdomen so he can attach to Razorclaw's back in the alternate formation. Are they planning to let you attach Rampage instead and have Divebomb and Sabretooth as arms? I look forward to finding out more.
