this guy was making these on his own to give us something. He was trying to give fans something....alot of you just sit on your fat arses and complain and never actually give this fandom anything aside from fueling stereotypes
this guy tried to offer fans something and he actually tried to GIVE back to this community and the fandom but insted all he got was crappy negative feedback and bad comments from people who have done nothing but sat in there armchairs and moaned at HIM for actually doing something
the whole reaction to this guys figure just made me feel sick and really showed how pathetic ALOT of people in this hobby can be. I mean saying something like - lame way to get sympathy............ The guy got screwed over by a con artist. It isnt his fault yet HES the 1 who has to sell his entire collection. Even then with all the money from his collection it might not be enough for all the refunds. I doubt hes having a choice on this and is being FORCED to sell his collection more than anything else
This guy tried really hard ON HIS OWN to make something for the fandom and instead he gets all these bad comments from people who he was trying to make happy
You should all be ashamed for giving this guy abuse and crappy comments. Maybe you should actually try doing something for the fandom and making/creating something instead of just complaining at a guy who decided to get off his back side and make something for all you ungreatful people. He got screwd over by a con artist who took the money and ran. It isnt chads fault, we have all made screw up money mistakes in the past or have been scamed with a trade 1 way or the other. Its just this was on a big scale
i for one am sad this item has been cancelled and i also feel real sorry for the guy who was trying to make this. After all the crappy comments im not suprised he just cant be bothered anymore considering how ungreatful you all sound. Hell even if he does sell all his figures what if the money isnt enough to refund everyone? hes gona have to get the rest of that money somehow. Look at your collection and try to put yourself in his situation

Weak dude.."lame tactic to get sympathy"? I assure you it is not. I know Chad personally and have recently talked to him regarding this issue. the dude feels horrible and he doing the most stand up thing any of us could do and is selling his collection to generate refunds. Can you even imagine how horrible that would be???
Chad has poured his heart and soul, and not to mention his own money into trying to provide a affordable alternative to botcon for us all to enjoy.
Have a little more respect before throwing out accusations like that please.

If he talked to them and agreed on a price then they would pay for the figure off him and mass release it by getting solid plastic copies made. I know the guy who made igears ratchet and ironhide and he just did the prototype for them and there mass releasing it. He has nothing to do with it now. Did all the plans, got prototypes made and then when finished igear started mass making them
i know afew other guys who did some stuff for igear. To be honest if chad just spoke to igear and gave a fully finished version with no flaws then igear would pay him a fair price for it and the rights and then mass release it for us all. Would save his reputation and save his collection from being sold
If anything chad needs to read this but i dont think hes even on these boards. I know hes a 2005 member but im not registered on that site

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

The kitbasher who made this originally intended to produce this by printing out the kits in shapeways, then after that proved too stupid to do he decided to cast it all by hand in resin. Plus the promo pics for this did not even show the actual product, but just half of it, they wanted 150 just for this:
then you were expected to wait another year and pay another 150 to get all the blacked out parts in this picture:
Oh and the production didn't even reach prototype stage 3 weeks before the convention this was intended to be the exclusive of.
It's really weird that SLAGACON actually believed this lying f**k would actually keep his promise of producing all of these in his garage by himself.
And now Chad has to sell his collection to refund those who bought this at the stage it was just a drawing based on a City Commander kitbash, that sucks.
Also how the hell is Chad supposed to sell the design to iGear? He didn't design it and as far as I know, he doesn't even have one of the prototypes, since as far as I can remember, all the pics that were released of this came from the guy who was supposed to produce it, iGear would have to reverse engineer it based on pics, and then redesign it due to all the hate the design got since day one.
It would be easier for them to just design one from scratch, it would also look way better.
Seriously, having to sell your collection to refund money that was stolen from you is pretty harsh.
SLAGACON has had nothing but bad experiences when it comes to exlcusives

All incorrect uses of "TFCON" in your post have been replaced with the correct SLAGACON .
Let me correct you on this. There is no connection to TFCON at all in this! TFCON is THE CANADIAN premier Transformers Convention run by Cybertron.ca and they have no connection with this whole mess. This was all Slagacon...which is a completely different convention altogether. TFCON's exclusives are always bigger and more reliable 3rd party companies that deliver the goods. There was a problem with some of the Nightbirds but other than that one all of the other exclusives were very high quality. companies like fansproject, headrobots and perfect effects are some of the companies that provided TFCON with exclusives. It would be appreciated if you could edit your post and correct this mistake because comments like those have a habit of being mistaken for facts when they are not.
