Have they confirmed the scale yet? I want to know how it would look alongside FP and Maketoys combiners.

Yeah it's gonna be herculese height and if i remember right divebomb was said said to be about 7"?

Wingspan ~18" if I remember correctly... I remember being shocked that this will be nearly half a meter wide and wondering where I am going to display this. I'm clearing off my movieverse shelves.

Limbs are supposed to be about 7-7.5" tall, Razorclaw is closer to 8.5", and combined mode around 12.5" if I remember the numbers right.

I think it looks great! I cannot wait to get the first of these.

That's a LOT light.

But you're right, there could just be a difference in the pics. Compare this guy to the same promo type pics of Not-Divebomb, and you see a distinct difference in the image sharpness etc.

I'm hoping his main body colors are closer to the orange on Divebomb.

Thank you for putting those images side by side. He now looks more orange, and subsequently far less ugly, and I'm now liking him more :BOWDOWN:

Hopefully they will both grow on my a little more before they're in stock.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the only yellow I see is on his faceplate. The rest is orange. Granted it's a bit light, but this is a photo shopped picture, not the actual plastic...

And I love him. Unique Toys just got dealt the final blow. And as much as I love TFC, what were they thinking trying to mess with this ???

It looks more orange than yellow. I would have preferred black legs more, but it looks great anyway.

Now thats just pure awesome. This is indeed going to be the definitive combiner of 2013.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Sat Mar 30, 2013 9:58 pm

Nah, the definitive combiner of 2013 is Hasbro's Abominus.

In all honesty though, I'm loving this more and more with every new picture. Bring on Divebomb semi-soon! (But give me a chance to recover from tax season first @_@)

BAD NEWS FOLKS. Freal Rex is cancelled due to low sales. MMC said this on their Facebook page:

2013 has proven to be a pretty tough year for us in the MMC Team with the sudden loss of one of our most important resellers and the rise of two formidable contenders for the same character in the Feral Rex Project.

We deeply regret that we have to announce the termination of the project due to the poor feedback on what we have released so far and the results from the preorders that we've put up over that past few months are.. well... disappointing.

We would still like to thank a couple of special members from the TFW2005 community, namely Transbot90210, hardreturn, exomega255, David Hingtgen, Transformed, Jigga, SCPrime, Trailbreaker77, daimchoc, eriku, Jehsee, Torque, RRavage, jonplumlee, Darcemeus, TENIME_art and many others more [like Astronut ] for their support, contributions, digibashes, suggestions and erm.... constructive criticisms towards our designs, products and especially for this particular project.

It had been a fun ride and it was a really sad decision that we had to make to end this, but here's some good news for all those who have already preordered either Talon or Bovis from our resellers!
We are please to announce the KNIGHT MORPHER REX COMMANDER as a replacement figure and it will be ready to ship very very soon!!

A note to those who have ordered both Talon and Bovis. You lucky guys will be getting TWO Rex Commanders!!! (or FOUR if you have ordered two sets of the original Rex members!!!) Happy days!

For those of you smart enough to look at your calendar and realize that today is April Fools Day (in some parts of the world, at least)

Ok seems like our little april's fool joke didn't get anyone this year. Heres the real deal. Some folks have wondered how a 6th member could improve on the 5 member combination for Feral Rex. Here's how.

MMC presents the 6th member of the team... SIXER!!

(click for full size)

The jury is still out on whether this is the real sixth member or another prank. If nothing else, this orange Arcee lookalike matches the silhouetted image we got earlier this month. And Predaking's colors seem legit. Personally, I think the yellow on Headstrong looks a bit sickly, but that might just be a side effect of the digibashing.

Hehe, that looks kinda like Samus Aran from Metroid

Holy **** i nearly passed out reading that was cancelled :lol:

. Seeing this fully DB looks wicked and that's the sixth member? that's gonna be one skinny arm :lol:

and if so a very slim cat and i like her almost looks like a perfect effect arcee but i guess we will have to wait and see.

That looks fantastic!

You know, way back at TFcon last year I heard another 3rd party company was doing a car version of Arcee from the FP Core guys. I guess MMC was it!

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 9:03 am

if that's a new Arcee too then great. MMC is really impressing me with their Classics/G1 designs. even if it's just a joke (the design looks very familiar, but not quite the same as any one Arcee I can think of) at least the digibash colour mock-up of Predaking looks bloody glorious. Now all I need to do is find money for them. Shame that each member is only $20-30 less than their Sixshot/Hexatron.

Today's date is... :grin:

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 9:15 am

True. Some at TFW seem to think this is actually the reveal for MMC's 6th member.

Despite the date I'm hoping it actually means we'll get a car Arcee from them. I did hear a rumor on that last year, which is why I'm holding out the possibility on an Arcee figure.

That would be one fine arcee figure if they could sort out the butt kibble probably the best to date and my first arcee.

yeah, it's clearly not the 6th member. it does appear to be a unique Arcee mold. Looks a bit like bits of PE Motobot and the Energon?Cybertron? speedboat that was repainted into Elita-1. Thunderblast? It looks like both of those, but not quite. Could be a custom job or photoshop, and not an actual product, sure, but there's a possibility, right?

Hasn't it been pretty well established that the actual 6th member of the team is a Rampage repaint/retool?
