Maketoys Quantron (not Computron)

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

Well they teased Superion! so It'll take them a while to get to Computron I'm thinking only because there's so many others Hasbro would do first.. I'm thinking this is pretty safe from a Hasbro release for a while....... maybe.. =X

If they are anything like the Powercore combiners then Hasbro has a long way to go to reach MakeToys combiner level.

They have a long way to go to get up to the level of Rail Racer and Landfill from 2000!
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

That's assuming they do them in order, which isn't a great assumption if they start with Superion...

I'm in. I will get my eBay store going and I will get this guy.

A 2015 new sculpt Bruticus might not get made. As HasTak might think FOC Bruticus fills this space.

Can't see HasTak doing a 2015 Devastator as it's too complicated. Six Teams members and getting the combination to look like the 1985 toy.

Since HasTak is doing a 2015 Superion. Perhaps they might want to do his season 2 rival Menasor.

2015 Defensor stands a great chance I think.

:lol: If HasTak does a 2015 Computron, It won't be a new mold. It'll be recolored and retooled toys from Menasor, Defensor, Bruticus and Superion. :lol:

Can see HasTak doing a 2015 Predaking. As it's always been a fan choice favorite.

Think 2016 will also have more Generations combiners toys. These will probably be the more obsecure, later years Combiners. Like Computron, Abonimus & Piranaking.

I had to flinch at the pricing, especially since $399.99 is the "early bird" pricing (save $30). Ummm... damn. Still preordered, but that kills pretty much anything else I might want in Sept/Oct.

Yea... I'm pretty sure they put the "retail price" at $430 just so they could discount it to $400.

Lame. >:oP

Yea I'm pretty sure retail price is 400 they just put it at 430 to discount it to get people to preorder now and discourage cancellations after the preorder period. It's a great business strategy to protect themselves actually.

Thanks for the link. :)

Okay, this works out to about 80 bucks a figure. For me, that's pretty reasonable.

So... this is seven combiners out of the ten main ones from the American G1. Nice...

It's basically POL except once it's in stock, you don't have the 2 week buffer to cancel and get store credit.

Computron is one of the combiners I don't feel it's worth spending 3rd party prices on. Had all of the 1986 Technobots toys but never cared for the sculpts on the toys. What little personality they received in Season 3, I just didn't care for. For me, Computron is worth me waiting for a Hasbro toy version. As I'd be more comfortable paying Hasbro's $70 for Computron. Less comfortable paying 3rd parties $400 .

Got MMC Menasor, Due to me liking the 1985 toys Sculpts. Also thought the stunticons received enough persona in Season 2 and 3. Liked the persona showed as it was edgy, cool and tough guy.

Bought the 2nd release MT Green giant toy. felt the Constructicons getting a lot of screen time, speaking lines and decent personalities. Being the only combiner in the 1986 movie is icing on the cake. Always liked the 1985 Devasator toy. 3rd party pricing I felt was low and fair.

Still debatting whether to buy MMC Predaking or not. There is a few things that bother me like the weird face plate on Predaking. Ugly indidual robot heads for half the team. wrongly placed bulk on predakings lower legs.

Right now, I'm holding off on buying other 3rd party combiners. I'm waiting to see what Hasbro offers in 2015. Hoping better sketches or test shots get reveals at SDCC, NYCC and the NYC toyfair.

It's the price if these combiners that always prevents me from pulling the trigger on them. Honestly as spectacular as computron is and is probably the best looking combiner I've seen yet plus he's one of my faves. 400 is still too steep for me.
