Preordered

!

News Credits: 4 · Mon Jan 21, 2013 1:57 am

Well, I went ahead and preordered Divebomb. For the size, and the quality, $75 is a good price. From what I've seen and heard, MMC has a very good track record with releases. Probably the best group after Fansproject. I wouldn't plunk down this kind of money for just any group without reviews of the product in question, but I trust these guys.

What a great deal! Unfortunately, I doubt we'll get this type of incentive for the next 4 figures but I'm glad there was that one time. So, I'm now in and I'm glad we have a few months (so I can pay off a few things first). I'm also thrilled by the measurements, this is gonna be great!

I'm pretty sure the incentive is due to the fact that the UT Divebomb is out this month so they want to steal the business.

This may well be my first MMC purchase. Always admired their stuff.

I want this badly. But this!

The wingspan is nearly half a meter.

Where in the world am I going to display this?

I didn't choose TFC's Herc because of the price and size. For MMC, price seems like not a big issue. But size.................... I know Predaking is big. I really hope I can see more pictures (especially comparison). If he is even bigger than Herc (or Energon Unicron), I might have issue getting approval from my wife.

Cowboy up and tell her you're not only getting it, but displaying it on the dining room table for friends, family and everyone to admire the awesome!

Light piping, right? They wouldn't do LEDs at this price. Would they? :shock:

Anybody care to do a digibash of this? I'd like to see how awesome it will look in color. These prototypes have me drooling already.

Some clarifications c/o Cenokibble who's associated with MMC

Razorclaw is definitely bigger than the others, this set is four Voyagers and a large Ultra.

Sixth member is not needed to "bulk" the frame, but gives what we think it a very cool extra option.

I'll bet the sixth member makes the bulk of that giant-ass sword.

Wasn't planning on buying Divebomb just yet, but $20 off? Yeah, okay. This'll be my first MMC purchase, and I'm happy for it! They seem to do good work, but haven't made anything that's drawn me until now (save for Hexatron, but even that's gotta wait).

Hopefully the rest will have a similar early bird price ... hopefully, but I doubt it. I gotta try and not fall into the same trap as I did for Herc. If I'm patient individual releases of these guys will drop in price once the whole set is complete.

(of course even if I say that, I just may break down and buy them all at full price well before then).

I Can't wait to see what this 6 members alt mode is gonna be and with it being an optional upgrade i hope the price isn't jumped up .

Preordered without hesitation. I've been wanting to sample MMC's work for some time, but Hearts of Steel isn't really my thing.Now I've preordered two of their figures within as many weeks.

Unique Toys who?

Thanks for the coloring, it looks wonderful. I wouldn't be too upset if we saw more of a gold color, like the 2010 Predaking release, but the G1 in me says keep the yellow.

So they've got three prototypes ready-Divebomb, Headstrong and Tantrum. That's pretty impressive!

If you mean this Headstrong:
war-lord-beasticons-p1456963.php#p1456963
That's a rival product, Unique Toys's Warlord Beasticons. Their Predaking is smaller in scale and the same in price. More expensive after MMC's discount on Divebomb, actually.
