I hope that's not the case because I'd hate for them to not have all SIX figures themselves completed to form Not-Devastator (Hercules) without knowing for sure if they will all work well together.

I really hope that's not the case. Just wanted to throw out that I preordered Exgraver when I saw the other two Causality figures were up at BBTS.

Earlier you stated that the pricing system as compared to Warbot wasn't equal if we can all agree that individual Hercules pieces are roughly the same size as Warbot. The only thing that would really make up for this are extra pieces included with the "Herculoids" to make Hercules, or extra weapons. Warbot came with two pistols, in addition to his helicopter blades/sword.

There's a particular picture of Hercules next to a Classics Prime. I'd like to see the individuals in robot mode compared to OP. Worst case, I have about a month to cancel the preorder, but I hope we get more pics released soon. And maybe a proposed schedule for release of each figure, that would be very helpful.

I am really glad that TFClub is attempting to make these this very detailed figures. But I would like to see prototypes of Bonecrusher and Mixmaster before preordering any of these. It would suck to purchase half of the figures and then learn that Mixmaster and Bonecrusher are not being planned.

I'd like to see those, as well. So far what we've seen is good. Pricy, but good.

That's what I'm dreading. Get 4 figures with an announcment of "Oh, we ran out of money so you're all screwed".

I'm going to bite the bullet and go for these. It's either going to hurt or pay off in the end. We'll find out as this project continues to unfold.

I decided to Pre order it as well. It's a huge money commitment but for some reason it just calls out to me I'll probably end up cancelling this preorder like 6 times..

I know pics are lacking at this point, but does this figure come with any weaponry? Also, what about the forearm/hand for Devastator conversion?

That would suck to drop $100 x 6 and then pay more for the Devastator arms, feet, head, etc.

Unless these things are crap, there's just too much money there not to finish them...be it TFC or someone else stepping up to the plate.

Please don't give CrazyDevy any ideas to make upgrades, this set is expected to be expensive enough as is...

The feet, head, and hands are incorporated into the figures, no partsforming.

If they sell the combiner accessories separately, I would not even bother with this.

Good thing it's all incorporated into the set. From what I'm seeing, the hands are the only parts that may be separate pieces, but they'll come with their respective Constructicons.

Nope, they are part of the toy and not a separate piece.

Are you sure Dead Metal? I can't figure out for the life of me where the hand is supposed to hide itself in the figure.

I know where the head is hidden on hook, but Scavener is a mystery to me.

In one of the early figs you can see that the hand is located at the back of the alt-mode between the treads, partly hidden by the shovel arm.
