Are these guys trying to bring silhouettes back or something.

Its Menasor obviously and by the looks of it its IDW inspired from the Enemies of the system comic where Swindle cobbles the stunticons together from stolen combiner tech.

Turns out this group is also the guys behind the Generation one Devastator.

Eh. I think I'm done with 3rd party combiners. I MAY buy Maketyoys' Defensor and, maybe, TFC's Predaking, but this new scale? Forget it.

I hear you, though for a different reason. HasTak's Combiners may not be perfect, but they're still pretty darned good with the addition of a kit. I no longer see the need to spend $400 on a combiner if it's rather obvious it'll be something that will be done from Hasbro's wheelhouse.

There's that too.

I don't regret the combiners I've already gotten, but I don't need to put down that kind of change over and over and over again. I have a 3rd party version of a Combiner and an official version. I think that's about all I need.

Definite pass on this. I don't collect Masterpiece figures, so have absolutely no need for a Masterpiece scaled Menasor.

im not into masterpiece much but i would have no problem putting this menasor on my classics shelf, combiners should be huge. anyway judging by sideswipe they wouldn't be too much bigger than classics scale

OH yes.

Another IDW styled thing that tries to pass itself off to the MP crowd? Dear 3Ps, quit that!

NEXT!

Holy crap, this thing is going to be huge! :shock:

If I were interested, I'd have to consider heating my garage for storage/display space. Hrm...

Yeah, if I consider that, I might not own my garage anymore as the accountant fleeces me in the divorce... 8-}

That is a seriously nice truck mode.

This looks pretty sweet, but I'm already planning on dropping an arm and a leg for the upcoming Liokaiser. I'll bet these guys will be going for $100 or more apiece, too...

Yeesh.

Absolutely glorious! I'm in for the set.

How about a shot of Motormaster in robot mode?

BBTS has e-mailed out that they are taking preorders for the cars/limbs of this team at $99.99 each and an estimated arrival date of Q3 2016. You can get to the preorders from here.

With these announcements, we also get names for each: Disorder, Carnage, Over Turn, and Revolt.

Grrr... just like I thought. See, I missed out on Intimidator, but I was planning on buying one second-hand. This guy some along, and looks real nice even in grey, but costs $100 per limb. I'm definitely waiting to see what people say about them quality-wise. I'll say this: the FP version looked more "re-imagined-y," and this one seems to be going for an MP vibe, so they both have their charms in my opinion. If somebody ever does a G2 re-color of the whole team, I'm all over that.

For some reason, my computer will not let me view the pics. I have already preordered these guys on BBTS, but I really want to know what motormaster looks like,
