Yeah, she's always pulling the ask for forgiveness instead of permission thing with me too. But, regardless, the fight is coming. It'll all depend on the timing...

Besides, these pictures are making me think that the fight might be worth it...

Might...

Dam..er....darn, these pics look awesome! MakeToys might be pushing MMC for my favorite 3P...

mooncake, where you get the full catalog? Dai Atlas (Welsh Warrior!) is relevant to my MTMTE interests.

You can also add the teasers for Maketoys next 'City Bot' to that as they are planning a Scorponok! :shock:

*Raises hand* Sold! The Tehcnobots were always pretty cool to me, cooler than most other combiner groups. I like the idea of a giftset. All at once, played with and then assembled.

Dai Atlas, and what may or may not be Wing from the same comic, huh? Can Maketoys ever NOT be awesome?!

The new G2 Optimus borderline KO? Also, I am not crazy with how long I had to wait after the initial release of Mobine and Chaos/Paladin to get my toys. I saw several others had them for months before I finally got mine. Not awesome there...

Ha! I love how Dai Atlas' name is simply the Romaji version of the Japanese words A-to-ra-su.

So this scales with Green Giant? What other combiners go with Quantron?

Correct. And the other combiners in this scale thus far are FP's Bruticus, Menasor and Superion. Some like myself are going to add MMC's Predaking into the mix as well, even though it'll be closer to TFC's combiners in size.

FansProject's Menasor would likely scale well with this. Their Bruticus and Superion add-ons are probably a bit short. TFC's Defensor will likely scale okay with this. And depending on how much larger you want Predaking to be, UT's Predaking is probably closest in size. Then TFC's and MMC's would be quite a bit larger, which is okay by me as I always thought Predaking was the largest combiner. These are mostly eyeballing guesses. I don't know that we've seen scale shots of this with other combiners. Many of the pics that were posted in this thread are now dead links.

[Edit] Aaannnnndd I don't know how I missed Mkall's post....

Agreed, Mkall.

Although, i think MMC's Predaking looks better with Giant. To get it bigger than Herc, you have to fully extend the thighs and I am not a big fan of the proportions when that happens. Personal preference though.

Hmm, to my eye, Hercules and Uranos scale just wine with my FP Bruticus and Menasor. And what I've got of MMC's Peredaking line up just fine, too.

the only one im not gaga over, is afterburner. those giant shoulders... bleh..

but i am very much in love with everything else. strafe is probably my favorite, with those kickass swords! and its nice to see that bow and arrow thingy collapse into a big gun (for all those bow and arrow haters out there).

by **MGrotusque** » Wed May 28, 2014 9:35 pm

I'm happy with the size of Quantron. my FP Bruticus is a fine size for a combiner.
So did i read correctly that this is going to be released as a full set?

That appears to be the case. (My poor wallet....)

I had hoped these would be an easy pass for me. I was done with transformers by the time he made his first appearance..but these guys are arguably the best designed figures I have seem from a third party. Worthy of display un combined which is not something I would say about the other gestalt members. Dammit.
