Mach 5 announce M5-02 Piston (not-Crankcase)
Posted by Scaleface Thu May 23, 2013 11:38 am
Today the Mach 5 Facebook page announced their second toy, a remold of their Gauntlet toy, called Piston. Piston is an homage to the Generation 1 Triggercon Crankcase.

Aha, there we go. I had asked in the Gauntlet thread who this was an homage to. Thanks!

Not really impressed, although I want to be. Just too chubby for a Triggercon in my book.

looks okay, but like Ironfist, I'm not keen on the main colour of the alt mode. Fisitron is too white, I'd prefer a more tan colour, and this guy is far too light a grey. Crankcase was dark, like a comic-book black.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I'd like a Crankcase homage, but this body has far too quickly engrained itself on me as distinctly Ironfist and not Crankcase, so at $60 I'll certainly be passing.

Please make a stink over at Mach 5's facebook page. Please let them know that the price is too high. Thanks.

have they given us a size yet? admittedly it does look like it'll be a small deluxe sort of size, but I could understand them asking this for a voyager-ish sized guy.
still wouldn't pay it, like.
from what we're seeing so far, I'd pay $40 tops for either of them. Something more along the lines of the seemingly far more complex Mech Ideas Jumpstarters would be far more palatable.
