At long last TFC Toys has revealed Hercules fully combined! The image mirrored below from their weibo account gives us a clear view of Hercules combined using prototype version of all six unique molds, including Mad Blender (aka Mixmaster) who up until now has only been seen as a computer render.

Update: Added more images of the fully combined mode and Mad Blender in alt mode.

Well, I had hoped Mixmaster's cab would become a bit less boxy, but that's a very minor complaint. I like the overall look.

Wow that looks fantastic. I agree on the design of Mixmaster, it's not that great. The cab section is very boxy and there is no grille or bumper to accentuate the mode. The windshield is also oddly shaped and should definately be larger.

Sat Sep 10, 2011 8:09 am

WOW! That looks bloody good! Can't wait to see it in green and purple.

Why yes, I will have this on my shelf thank you very much.

I do like, even more so than my G1. But only due to the added articulation points. However, we must remember that this is only a prototype. The true Final, may have a more G1-esque cab for Mixmaster and Scrapper as well. As I don't see it in this image. Do we know when preorders will being?

Pure Awsomenus he looks fantastic.... but im still getting the other not D as ive just forked out for both crossfire 1 & 2 upgrades and there not too cheap these days,
It was either those 3 or two herc parts i think i chose the better option as not D 2 will fit very snugg with Supes and Maxi.

...............................Or did i make the rite choice :BOOM:

BASTARDS!!

The only bad thing of this figure to me is the chest wing, it just isn't big enough

also the head, altough I am sure that an other or this actual company will make a different style head

This one sucks This one is cool

"Impressive, most impressive". The only thing that can cause this behemoth to fall like a house of cards is bad QC, IMHO. Other than that it's badass...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Outstanding

!!!

I agree on the chest wing, it would be nice if it were a bit bigger, but I can live with it. As for QC, if Exgraver is any indication then I'm not concerned at all with QC. In my opinion it's more solid than anything I've gotten from FP (DIA Commander, City Commander, clear Protector armor and the infamous Thundershred which had misaligned parts/tabs on mine

).

It looks like it's going to be even taller than I expected, which is a bonus.

You guys do realise that if the chest wing were any bigger/wider, it would interfere with the arms, right?

I must admit the prototype looks fantastic! Can't wait to see the final version with the colors and minor tweaks.

Looks fantastic. I think the cab on mixmaster totally matches the real version of the truck they are modeling it after.

Cant wait to see it in color and then with Repro labels.

Beautiful !!!

But please reconsider putting a visor on him. The head flat out sucks. Everybody has a G1 version of Devi and nobody wants a remake of the original toys crappy head.

I don't think the head "sucks", but I agree; it'd be nice to have the visored version. Maybe as a seperate piece?

The completed prototype looks really awsome. I wonder how big it'll be in comparison to the maketoys version ... a little Photoshop work may very well answer that question ...

News Credits: 13 · Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:48 am

how about a visor that can be placed over the eyes, shouldnt be too hard to make

Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:19 am

I definitely have no regrets on getting this now. I like that it will be bigger than a leader class when combined, that is how gestalts should be made.

Originally, I promised myself I'd never get another 3rd party figure again after what happened to my Shadow Warrior (Frenzy/Rumble from Perfect Effect, for those who forgot). After seeing this, if I was $1000 richer, this would be bought on sight. 8-}

This would probably be the only 3rd party figure I'll ever buy after Shadow Warrior.

This is forcing me to eat my words about 3rd party stuff.

Almost.

Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:03 pm

I'm really glad I committed to getting this, although some would think I should be committed instead...Design is excellent and quality is there in what I've seen so far.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. :APPLAUSE:

I'm still torn between this Devastator and the MakeToy version. The MakeToy Devastator looks more G1 accurate, but I don't know if I like the robot modes (from what I can see through the blur). I can't afford both, and I'm afraid that if I don't make a decision soon, the one I want will be sold-out before I get a chance to buy it.

I wasn't thinking wider, I was thinking larger, as in the height. It looks more like a logo than a chestplate

.

It's all about proportions

.

I'm still not too disappointed though. He still looks awesome

I don't think I can say anything negative about this at all... well except about how much it costs.
I'll probably have to pay around 1000 by the time I am actually able to even afford all of them together... I just hope theres still some going around in a year or 2.

News Credits: 34 · Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:37 pm

Wow, that's incredible looking!

Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:49 pm

YEEESSSS!!! :grin:

I've been on here before moaning and bitching about this, but I'm glad Ive stuck in preorders - I still want the Justitoys one though, to fit in with my FP combiners, but I've no problem having 2 neo-G1 Devys. My wallet, however, will say otherwise!
