It's actually from cnomis of TFW2005, which he's producing via shapeways.

Hmm. Not sure. :-?

They look cool and menacing, but they won't integrate as well as the standard blades in the alt modes.

These were designed after the blades that he used in the Arena, before he was given the new swords. They were featured in the comic that came with Hexatron.

Cool but they could do with been an inch or more longer
The bottom right photo makes them look very stumpy.

I don't need any more blades. What my Hex needs is some reprolabels...

I wonder how/if they will integrate with alt mode...

These downplay Hexatron's Ninja/Samurai feel and make him brutish, Grimlock-style.

Speaking of Grimlock, those blades are awfully reminiscent of FOC Grimlock's sword...

Instead of the Dazzling glory set, or an independent Shapeways modeler producing this, I wish MMC were releasing chromed versions of the swords he came with. Now THAT would be worthwhile, IMHO.

I thought they were...

Ah, it's just the faceplate and the guns... :-(

Looks like quite a number of folks here haven't read the comic that came with Hexatron. Either that or folks still don't have him.

Here's the comic book...

I've seen the comic, but I'm not so interested in unofficial fiction. I know Sixshot as we know him isn't necessarily a sword wielder, but I'd be happy to see a chrome upgrade of the swords Hexatron came with.

I don't know... as with most bad@ss looking add-on kits, color renders will probably change my mind.

:HEADHURTS:

Unfortunately, they won't be able to chrome those sword readily. They'll have to slim down the blades for it to take the chrome paint. It'll turn brittle. As for the Butcher swords/blades, Hexatron was weilding them at the beginning of his story. Also, the original Sixshot toy didn't even have katanas.

I wouldn't mind regular chromed katanas - all they have to do it put a label on it that says you shouldn't sheath them. But you're right, MMC probably would go through the trouble of a slight remold if they decided to produce them.

One of the things that started warming me up to the butcher blades was the knowledge that G1 Sixshot isn't a katana wielder, anyway :-?

I think I'd like these more if they didn't have that smaller curved blade in-front of the hilt.

It replicates what's in the comic...

Jesus Christ, we get it! :BANG_HEAD:

It doesn't mean I have to like them.
