This is the Greatshot pic from Three years ago. This uses the original Hexatron's chest wings. Different robot head compared to Grandus Hexatron. Uses the original Hexatron's weapons.

And here I am thinking Greatshot was some kind of homage to a wacky KO...
Why are so many post headmasters Japanese characters just repaints of older G1 molds ?

Would like to see a pic of the robot head and Rhino head up close.
With this Grandus toy, Think MMC would score points with First release Hexatron buyers. If they include the Continuum robot head as a bonus. This would give me the extra push incentive I need to buy this Grandus toy.

Don't see why they would include the Continuum heads it's a different character and i'm VERY surprised your not waiting for the KO

I kinda like it since I want the Sixknight repaint of Quickswitch. But dammit does the mold really deserve me triple dipping ? I would feel a lot better if I didnt buy the first version of Hexatron. I ease the pain by putting ninja Sixshot with my Japanese Decepticons and the new Hexatron with my G1 post 1986 movie Decepticon crew.

I like it but after getting hexatron C(who I <3 immensely) this mold is to big for greatshot in my head. Sixshot should be that big compared to the rest of my classics decepticons/gestalts but unless you pose this guy next to MP Starsaber I can't dig the size for myself to make it a top priority buy....until I have a MP Starsaber(who I continually think of shoehorning into my classics collecion )
The heads kind of wonky/narrow for the body due to transformation imo

Thanks for the clearer close up pics. Like the Dual horns the Rhino head has.

Looks pretty good. The rhino head works really great. Though I think they ought to have shaved off the 'claws' on the front legs to pull it together perfectly.
Those colors, that eagle emblem. The Brave is strong with this one...
Speaking of, hoping we see something come up soon if the purposed not-Shadowmaru is still possible.
Take this for what it's worth, but listings are saying that this will be a "limited edition made to order".

People with several MMC toys: I'm not their biggest fan, as I'm not partial to fiddly transformations. As someone that prefers the TFC/Warbotron/etc style in their third party bots, will this just end up sitting around in bot mode with me not wanting to transform it due to being annoyed?
These are things I need to know because it looks super cool, and I don't own their Sixshot.

I don't remember Hexatron being too fiddly or finger abrasion-inducing like some of their other products, but I will say that Grandus will likely end up sitting on your shelf in one form only. I did all modes for Hexatron the first time I opened him and hadn't bothered since. Still a great figure to have.

Based on your preferred third party style, I honestly don't think you'll enjoy messing with it. Sixshot wasn't fiddly or floppy but it does have small parts & steps that are rather tedious to transform from one mode to the next. You seem to be the type guy that appreciates the simpler, more time friendly transformations for the sake of play/fiddle around with value. I doubt this will hit that mark for you dude.

Ah, dang, good to know though. Maybe someone will have one (or a Hexatron) out and let me mess with it at TFcon. I love the look of this guy enough to possibly overlook some things, like I did with Salvia Lady and Vos (although Vos isn't really all that bad. Not fun to transform to me, but not a chore either.)

I don't find Sixshot to be fiddly at all. He's as complex as a standard Classics toy, and fairly intuitive. The issue is less tedium (to me), and more that, with any TF with six modes, it's kind of hard to figure out where he should end up. His APC tank mode might be best.
