Yep. I think it's asinine they carried on and released Pipes after announcing they were increasing the size of their Mini Warriors line.

As for these figures: yeah too big.

At this juncture, my MP funds go to official MPs.

The line has too much potential for me to divert funds elsewhere and risk HasTak ending this magnificent, magnificent line...

...Also, Krank is way too big

I take it back. Looking at the (mostly-)official scale guide, Huffer seems to be one of the tallest minibots, so in this instance scale may work.

I do, however, take issue with that he's not a proper MP, and by proper I mean slavishly G1.

Updated schemes may work for a Classics collection, but not a Masterpiece line

Bingo. That's also why I never bought Quakewave and won't buy this either. I still think Takara's going to get to the entire G1 cast (at least from Season 1 and possibly Season 2) eventually.

I for one think these are looking good so far i'm gonna get these guys for my classics collection they look to be a good tall deluxe size. I was a bit concerned about them being back heavy but after looking at this images the bottom of the feet seem to have quite a long foot stand.

There up for pre-order on chimungmung

Stax. http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=1476

Krank. http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=1477

Both. http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=1478

The price for these is spot on for me with p&p the pair come to about £90 .

Hmm, kinda looks like a Gears repaint if Im not mistaken?
Personally I am more than happy with the SXS Continuosly Variable large Deluxe version of Gears!

Nope, I'm pretty sure that's a redeco as Gobots Road Ranger.

Ok, not really a follower of Go-Bots, but the colours do match, so I tip my cap to you sir!

Hopefully they wont do a Mach 5 and offer a dozen head swapped artists renders then not actually produce anything for best part of a year! :lol:

Yeah they said on there FB page it was a gobots homage

So Hoss would be about the size of a Super GoBot right?

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:37 pm

Kinda like the Roadrage version. No interest in either Huffer or Pipes, since I'll be waiting for the Tak versions, but I gotta say Roadrage is kinda tempting.

You mean Road Ranger?

God damn it, so close and yet so wrong. Yea that's who I mean.

News Credits: 2 · by **xyl360** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 2:58 am

Yeah, I gotta admit I'm kinda interested in Road Ranger as well. He's one of the Gobots I like (and own

) for multiple reasons, not the least of which being that his truck mode reminds me of someone else I know

I am torn between this figure and the other 3rd party Huffer. Not sure I like the face on X-Transbots.

You could get the other Huffer as Huffer, and the XTransbots Pipes. That way you have both molds, plus this is closer tot he Pipes cartoon model, having all the vehicle mode kibble in bot-mode, while Hufffer was sleeker.

Yea I'm getting this as Road Ranger and wait for the official Huffer and Pipes.
