When I read the bolded part I realised that this would go well in my sig, now I might have to get him no matter the price

LOL, you're right, you will have to expand your 'monkey arms' collection!

At this rate half my collection will end up in it!

The bot mode does look good, but we don't know what the guns are going to look like. Maybe, with the recent interest in TFC's, they will be prompted to show us more.

I'm not sure what's more lame. That this guy uses the Rage of the Hercules forearms, or that he has those hinge connectors to keep the arms on.

I usually hate misproportioned bots, but for some reason I like the Popeye forearms on him. For me, it helps drive the sense that Sixgun is a partsformer made up of Metroplex's city accessories.

Sixgun isn't that important to me to spend over $100 3rd party prices on it. If HasTak released a deluxe scale Sixgun for $12,I'd buy it.

Wait, how much? If that is the price, then I am out.

I would wait and see what the actual price is... this is just Tsutsakakushi's estimation.

I was just going to post the same sentiment. Tsutsukakushi has a tendency to post things that come off as fact, when often, there's been no confirmation.

And if I were to guess, based off of the size of this thing in this prototype pic:



I'd say that $100 is cheap. I would guess more in the $150 range based on TFC's other figure pricing. But this is just a guess.

Is that leader or voyager size?

It's gotta be ultra or leader, right? I'll do a couple of comparisons to my Metroplex when I get home, unless someone else beats me to it.

Yeah, either a very small leader, or a slightly larger ultra, in my estimation...

If going by the heads, an Ultra is a good call.

So what does Sixgun's white forearms transform into? I thought it was going to be a building for Metroplex in alt mode, but I don't see any pictures of it.

Those pics are nice and make me more interested in this, but there are still unanswered questions. Do all the components integrate into all of Metro's modes? Are there any leftover parts when Sixgun is in bot mode? TFC are terrible at integration, so there is no way I'm getting this there are parts left over in even one mode.

Arctorro wrote:...so there is no way I'm getting this there are parts left over in even one mode.

Yup. I'll be more then happy to be proven wrong, but until I am proven wrong, there's no way I'll believe those lower arms and fists are used in any other mode.

It is possible the arms can form a tower in city mode, but I can't see them being used anywhere else or the hands being used at all.

You know what could have been cool? Those big, blocky, white forearms... A weird color choice, since G1 Sixgun's arms were all black... but anyway, with the color that TFC made them, it'd be cool if, when they weren't being used as Sixgun's forearms, if they combined together and made a little tank to give us a Slammer. Not an ideal solution, as I'd rather have Sixgun and Slammer as separate pieces able to be used at the same time, but it would have been a creative use of what looks to be extra parts.

You can use the hands as shadow puppets to create the illusion of Metroplex having more structures if you just look at his shadow. Just don't look directly at Metroplex.

A Metro we can't look at!


The more I look at the latest images the more worried I get about this.

The image above shows two red gun handles and this

shows that the three big guns need to use those handles! Add to that the missing tab to connect the biggest gun to the right side of Metro's back and we have a set that has a pile of bits sitting off to the side when Sixgun isn't in bot mode. Looks like TFC might just have failed badly with this...

Going to wait on reviews before getting any Sixgun (or deciding if I even want one), but TFC has just fallen to the bottom of the list for me at this point in time.

Oh geez you are right. That was stupid planning. Why didn't they just incorporate the handles into the legs so they are attached and fold up. I agree with you. Lots of parts to keep track of.

Shame TFC didn't think of that. Such a small thing that could've made a big difference.

I see even smaller parts that could become lost. There are 18 parts. Did you notice there are 3 guns that require handles, but the set only includes 2 handles?

The third handle will be included in the add-on kit which will also include smaller forearms/hands, G1 accurate head, a carrying case for all the parts not integrated, and a thick vertical peg to sit on for the low low price of $59.99.

Sad thing is, I can really see them doing that

The final results look pretty good, but I do agree that the execution could have been executed better. I'd definitely get this if there wasn't a better option.
