Laughed when I first saw this. thought it was for 1. three pack is tempting.... but Mini warriors are just so disappointing. But these looks like they have paint! :grin:
Looking for:

Not sure if I'll keep it though.

Hopefully, we'll see more reviews before they ship.
With iGear's record, that'll be about 2016. :)

WTF?! I'm gone for 9 months and now it goes up for pre-order? :shock:
Taking into account this was announced 4 - 5 months before my "LEAVING FOREVERZ!!!1111", dude...

Preordered. Very preordered; one of my main collecting goals is assembling a neoG1 TFTM cast and these guys are sorely missing.

These are deluxes, right? I really wanted this when it was shown 1+ years ago. But now with all the cool stuff that other 3rd parties are doing, this design is starting to look under par. Plus I haven't been too pleased with iGear's most recent minibots.

I would have preordered this onsite, but now iGear's track record is making me pause and think.

I'm not really sure how big they are in comparison. The best thing about BBTS and iGear is that I can lay down the preorders and if they don't meet my expectations as more and more images are released, I can cancel if it doesn't meet my expectations.

If that's a 12 OZ can of soda, then they look just slightly smaller than Deluxe, which is fine by me. I think these will scale nicely with Classics Hot Rod (though I'm not exactly concerned with scale.) I'd prefer to just have 1, but I'll go with the 3. Like Mkall, I'm not concerned about cancelling if expectations are not met.

Now, I wonder if I can run my IT Alicon through a hot wash cycle and shrink him down... :-?

Don't have any need to sharkticons right now, and no way I'm pre-ordering anything iGear after the mini bot crap.

Just received this from BBTS:

Hi - Good News, we've been able to work out a volume deal with iGear to be the US retailer for this item, and our cost has gone down. We are passing the savings on to you and have reduced this item from $129.99 to $119.99. Thanks very much for buying from BBTS!

Thanks

The price drop is nice, but I'm still not sure I even want Sharkticons :-? Will wait for in-hand images before deciding.

He has transparent eyes. Coooooollllll. I hope these come in soon, but if they are not in by tomorrow, they'll have to wait until next year. Shipping my POL end of day tomorrow, whatever has come in.

I do like the integration of the bot legs into the aft torso of this guy. The legs folding into the cavity of UT's is fine, just creates more of a shellformer.

lol :D

Seriously I was referring to the funky looking teeth that almost block the robots view. At least from the angle they show. Im getting both sets, but as far as aesthetic goes, Unique Toys wins the battle in my opinion. (my slavish to G1 tastes)
