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.

You could get the other Huffer as Huffer, and the XTransbots Pipes. That way you have both molds, plus this is closer tot he Pipes cartoon model, having all the vehicle mode kibble in bot-mode, while Hufffer was sleeker.
Yea I'm getting this as Road Ranger and wait for the official Huffer and Pipes.
Good point.
What's X-Transbots track record for quality control. The last figure I got from them was Powerglide and quality was lacking. Very roughly cut plastic and lots of flashing.

Seeing as they actually are CHMS as I recall (one of the better known KO companies/producers), quality isn't going to be top notch unless things have changed.

Unique toys is CHMS? Crap. Making me re-think my Sharticon preorder.

Quality's definitely a concern. But the reviews will settle it for me.

From Peaugh's reviews, it did seem their quality was vastly improving.
How you liking War Lord?

You sure about that? Do you have a reference because I could have sworn that CHMS was X-Transbots (something revealed back when X-Transbots was doing their minibots and add-on kit for G1 Devastator)?
edit: I found a reference to CHMS being X-Transbots

That line art isn't very good. The one you call Starscream is supposed to be the Gobot Road Ranger!
