This was just posted on the TFC Toys weibo page. Also I talked to the guy running the Robotkingdom both at BotCon and he was very interested in what fans would like for a Hercules redeco. I mentioned Shattered Glass and he said it had been considered but it would be hard for them to get the white right with the type of plastic they use. Anyway, take this for what you will.

I've heard through the grape vine that SG Hercules, G2 Yellow Hercules, and G2 Orane Hercules are all coming out. Rumor also suggested that 1 or more of those would be store exclusives to Robotkingdom or TFSource.

Not sure I can afford another go at Herc at this time with their other offerings coming down the pipe. I'll have to wait and see I suppose.

ffs come on! im struggling enough as it is just to make G1 Green Devastator/hurcules

so far ive only got scavenger and bonecrusher....i still need to fork out £60 X 4 for the other 4 green guys

now your telling me a SG version is coming out....were am i ment to get another £60 x6 from for that?

seriously i HATE hasbro - if hasbro would pull there finger out and made these guys then they would have cost £25 each max....sadly hasbro seems to like giving us crappy DOTM figures instead of what we actually want - classics - and instead we have to pay small fortunes for 3rd party items

sigh....rant over...ill go take my calming pills now

Not happening, not unless they are cutting the cost in half.

I'll likely pass.

I'm still waiting for Computron and Abominus

(and I may get Superion, but that really depends on how good he looks, as I'm not the biggest Superion fan).

That being said, if they do end up still doing Computron, I would be compelled to get the SG deco of HIM if they made one. A Seibertron forum member showed me a pic of him from a comic I believe, and I just can't get over how cool Compy looks in purple

This is one of those ideas that sounds great and then you actually stop to think of the money involved and decide you would rather pay the rent and eat that month instead. I broke the bank to get the Green-dude, no way I'm doing it again for some niche recolour. I suspect many will probably decide the same way......

I want it, but after dropping $600 on the first one, They are going to have to figure out how to slash the price in order to get me to buy it again.

I will put my money towards TFC Superion.
