The Energon Pub

I have a theory regarding FansProject HeartMaster that is a little buried in the pages of the thread for the latest reveal, so I'm throwing it up here to see if people generally agree or if they still think it is an entirely new character.

Check out the similarities between these two sets of pics:






Now the only thing is that the Heartmaster mini figure in the chest, and the missile-pod shoulders don't seem to match WW UM. But, as theorised over at TFW, it seems like FP may have based those elements on Energon Ultra Magnus... making this a combined version... an Ultra Ultra Magnus if you will.



Thoughts?

This was all in the general Heartmaster thread. Why did you pull it out and make another one?

Actually seeing everything side by side like this makes me realize that it very well might homae a WW Magnus.

This has suddennly become more interesting to me.

That's just the Anime uber Mecha stance!

I call it Dreamwave syndrome and prescribe a Pat Lee-ectomy.

Wasn't that WW Ultra Magnus a repaint of WW Optimus Prime? What makes you think this FP figure is UM and not OP?

Because it is blue & white with red highlights.

Of course there will be a repaint into Prime afterwards... (and probably Nemesis Prime).

The pics above are black & white. Are there color pictures of the prototype somewhere?

Only one extreme closeup of the cockpit they posted last week on their Facebook so far. Here it is:

Naw, it's not a Dreamwave thing. They were just trying to imitate Japanese style artwork to begin with. Those above Revoltechs are great examples in toy form however. Masami Obari is a veteran in the mecha world and is a great example of this kind of posing. A few of those Revoltech mecha ARE his work actually. lol

I know. I was attempting "humor."

Oh, went right over my head. Haha.
