Looks like a few new weapons have been added. Can't fully judge this until I see clearer, Brighter pics.

Wasn't there a company making that sword/machete type weapon? Maybe someone on Shapeways, can't remember.

Either way, this repaint, if it's happening, looks pretty badass. I wonder who it's homaging.

I'm not interested in the whole "Black Character" rage.

Whatever happened to the idea of making Greatshot and Shadowmaru out of this mold as apposed to simple and pointless black repaints?

Agreed. MMC would've gotten my money on either of those. This is a waste of plastic IMO.

I live the mold, but not enough to buy it again...

This looks completely badass, but I'm not buying the mold again.

Fourthed or fifthed by this point. I LOVE their Sixshot, but I have no need nor want for some repaint of it.

I could care less for Sixshot, I wanted Shadowmaru from this mold when the possibility first arose, and I especially want it moreso now after having watched the Brave Police series.

I think, Clonedroid's KO MMC Sixshot has a similar Machete Sword weapon.

I'm still waiting for the version with the FoC style paint scheme (the one that didn't win in the fan vote) before I'll drop any $ on this mold. I didn't buy the original and I won't buy this version either.

Yeah, I'm not feeling this either.

This seems like a lazy repaint. Hexatron is already evil. Whats the point in doing a Evil doppelgangers black version? :-?

Why not just remold some parts,recolor it and release in different Characters. Victory Greatshot and Brave Shadow Maru.

Since Megatron has had so many different alt modes from the past Thirty years. How about recoloring and remolding some parts to make it a Megatron toy. Or a 2001 Rid Megatron Recolored and remolded toy.

Well, Sixshot wasn't exactly evil, at least not in the Japanese Headmasters series. In fact, he sort of comes around at the end. I think of him more as the Stormshadow character from G.I. Joe. He's aligned with the Decepticons, but has a code of honor...

(I prolly didn't need the spoiler, but you never know...)

Waste of plastic.

Looking at this image, they could have pulled off a decent version of The Fallen from the mold. I might have bought that.

My classics the Fallen spot is taken care of already as well.

I'm just not huge into PCC combiners. The conspicuous/loud bright orange ports ruined MakeToys Chaos Paladin for me.

Don't think of them as loud, bright orange PCC connectors. Think of them as magical Fallen square burning ports of awesomeness!!

Okay, I tried... (There are some poses that can decently hide the port pegs.)

I actually enjoyed the PCC line for what it was, neat idea even if a poor execution on Hasbro's part.

But Paladin didn't do it for me. Odd I know, as he is generally a well liked figure.

I don't mind the bright orange connectors because there is plenty of orange on the figure to even it out. It's the bright blue connecters on Hasbro PCC's that stick out like a sore thumb. If those blue connectors could be removed with a heating pin, I would love to see someone make the connectors in black to replace them.
