Yeah we all know you need bigger toys you tell us in every comment you post .

Still don't like Badcubes terrible overly chunky lower legs on all of their toys. Think FP won the deluxe scale insecticons toy battle. Think the only way for BadCube to gain some points here is to make voyager toy versions of each insecticon.

To be fair only Bombshell has chunky legs and FP aren't any thinner.

To gain any points ? These are the first lot of MP styled Insecticons they are sure to be a hit just like brawny , backland and even huff with all his qc , BC are gaining a good rep and fans want there product .

and no ones gonna make voyager sized insecticons , Badcubes are taller than brawny and smaller than wardog according to BC so they won't be a bad size if anything will be taller than FP

Think the FP Insecticons look higher sculpted and less generic looking than the Badcube insecticons toys look.

Generic??? They look like they just jumped out of the cartoon as for sculpt BC are full of detail and character

You know just cos you don't like a figure doesn't mean you have to sh*t on it all the time , i remember not so long ago when you were complaning about someone doing the same thing

looks pretty good. but theres a list of MP's i think takara are likely to do, these are high on that list.

I think someone corrected this before, but you often confuse "size" and "scale". These are meant to scale (proportionate measure) with the MP line, which dictates their size (actual measure).

Again, these are meant to complement the MP line, which is heavily influenced by the on-screen aesthetics. Voyager versions, would not work when trying to match MP scale. Different sculpting, a la the FP insecticons would not work because they differ quite a bit from the on-screen characters. To me, these look like the Insecticons stepped out of the TV, so they achieved their goal.

I won't argue that he FP insecticons have great sculpts ... they do! I have them, I like them. But they are certainly done in a "neo" style that works better with a classics collection than an MP collection.

Think if these BadCube Insecticons are being labeled both cartoon designs and MP toys. Then I think they need to be Voyager scaled toys. To match the HasTak MP Voyager scale cars bots toys. As the Insecticons in seasons 1 and 2 were drawn bigger than the bigger cars bots in the G1 Cartoon series.

Think Legends, Commander and Deluxe are acceptable CHUG toy scale. As the Bigger cars bots from seasons 1 and 2 of G1 have CHUG toys in the Legends, Commander and deluxe toys.

Those Diaclone colours look awful purdy...except for Shothole. That green has gotta go.

Heres the master of the digibash take on the g1 insecticons , much better this one with the extra details coloured .

by **wilcosu35** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 1:45 am

these look nice, but i won't be getting them. the chances that takara is going to do these characters in MP form is quite large imho

Again the cartoon is all over the place at times .

Will these Badcube insecticons likely be made with die-cast parts? I'd like to find out if the Fans Toys insecticons are heavier.

Not final.

I have to say, they're looking good...

Looking good! I'd pefer chrome or silver paint on the flat grey parts, I may be in for these.

Agreed

I'm still waiting to see what FT put out there to compare.

Think these look terrible.

Like most Badcube toys. Think these Three toys are a misproportioned parts mixed matched nightmare.

Don't like the overly bulky lower legs on Claymore and Hypno.

Think that's got to be the very worse way to position the robot legs for Kickbutt's insect Grasshopper mode.

Do not like the overly simple sculpted mouths on Claymore's and kickbutt's robot mouths. looks like some kid with level One custom skills took some putty and a knife and quickly created those robot mouths.

Seems like none of the parts even try to match any set proportions.

What toy class are these BC Insecticons. Guessing they might be Basic-Deluxe class toys like the FP Stunticons toys were.

Currently i'm happy spending $10 each for the Hasbro Legends-basic class insecticons Generations toys. All Hasbro needs to do is make the Third one and i'm set.

Think the Hasbro Generations Insecticons Legends-Basic class toys are perfect. As they are in scale with the original 1985 G1 Insecticons toys.

Overly bulky legs? I don't see it. Also why do you keep bringing up size class? They're MP's aren't they? Masterpiece IS a class.

Prefer to call them Bizarro world MP TF toys. As they are fully articulated but are too tiny to fit into the HasTak MP TF toy line scale. :lol:

Think MP Insecticons should be the same scale as the MP Voyager cars bots. As the insecticons and bigger cars bots were almost the same scale in the G1 Cartoon.

You exaggerate. These figs are just fine and probably the most proper G1 accurate insecticons to date.

Not according to the scale chart.

Um, which G1 cartoon have you been watching . . . ? Insecticons were only about as tall as Bumblebee . . . :???:
