The UT version has small legs and a rather large head. unfortunately, the Igear version has all that neo crap going on in robot mode and lacks the G1 accuracy of the UT version. I'm getting both sets anyway. Ill figure out which trio gets displayed in each mode when I get them...

If UT had made their Sharkies' legs just slightly bigger, I'd be a happier man. I still quite strongly prefer UT's look over iGear's on this one. Although I like the bulk on iGear's Sharkticons, it strikes me as a bit much.

Isn't crazy how IGEAR's teased their Sharkticon a few years ago and Pre-orders went up well before Unique Toys but has still not been released yet UT teased, announced and released their version within 3 months time? hmmm....

I just want them to hurry up and release Impactor and more mini bots. But those Raptor seekers are a total waste of time.

I know, right? And their delay doesn't seem to be to ensure quality, as per FP or MMC. They just seem to be unnecessarily slow.

Maybe they took a break from the Sharkticons to develop their Con Air/Raptor Squadron line, and only now marked the Sharkticons as a priority due to the release of UT's version.

I think UT's speed has to do with three things. Just speculations so probably wrong.

1) UT does not do many levels of QC checks. Like their Sharky's bad alignments and unnecessarily loose parts (shoulder pads, horns)So their products a little bit rushed?

2) They are very friendly with the factories and they take their orders first! while others get in line and wait.

3) They ARE the factory as many has claimed they were CHMS.

The face on iGear's doesn't look so geat head-on. It's like it's squished. Still, I'm down. I like it well enough overall.

It's odd that one gets one mode right while the other gets the second mode right. It's be nice if iGear could have pulled off UT's alt. mode using their own transformation scheme.
