TFC Toys has updated their facebook page with the first look of Mad Blender that resembles the Constructicons member Mixmaster.
The image is the CGI of Mad Blender in alternate form as well as the 3rd mode that form the left leg of Hercules.
No image of Mad Blender's robot mode is available at the moment.





Seibertron, Ultimate Transformers Resource!

huh, boxy! like it though. Waiting for bot' mode pics though.

In alt. mode the front looks way too boxy.

I guess makeing parking lots, sidewalks, and driveways is way more dangerous then I thought as this thing looks like an armored cement truck from the front.

I'm hoping a windshield and maybe a painted bumper will help define this alternate mode. Not that it really matters to me because he will almost always be a leg.....

Agreed. Even if they angled the windshield back a little, I think that would help. Wouldn't mind a larger cement drum as well. And why so many wheels???

Considering how long we've waited to see these last two units, I can't say I'm blown away.

Yuck. Glad I'm skipping this whole thing for FansProject's Crossfire 3.

I like what i see but the colours are a bit odd.

The purple in the middle of the altmode looks out of place as well as the grey parts on top of the cab. The cab itself looks very detailed but needs a bumper, black painted windows and the cement drum, it would look better being silver or at least more of a metallic colour than what it is now. Though i woulden't mind if it were green.

Then again this is a rendering so perhaps the final product will have all this.

id rather see red than green

Are we yet certain this is going to be a Superion Appendage styled upgrade for classics Devy? Has there been some develops?

No, as far as I know FansProject's next combiner set will Menasor. I doubt they want to get in on the current Devy war.

I am a little surprised that they didn't go with a more modern cement mixer. I haven't seen one that tilts up in the back on the road in years, it's only the ones where the drum tilts over the cab. I understand that it is more G1 and probably easier to design for leg mode, but still a bit surprised.

I've been wondering if MakeToys' Build was originally Crossfire 03. I mean, at the start of the year FansProject listed their upcoming products which included Crossfire 03 and Causality figures 06 and 07: products we haven't even heard mentioned since. Then MakeToys appears (seemingly with connections to FansProject) and debuts Build, Hover and Bomber: figures that could fit these titles.

It's just a theory.

If FP is spreading work about Maketoys' Devestator why would they undercut them by making add ons for Classics Devestator?

Until FP gives us a sketch or something I'm just not going to think they're making those add-ons.

Seriously??? That's awesome. May I ask how you came about this information?

That's the point. I don't think they are.

I would bet a TFC Hercules that FP doesn't do an upgrade for that POS 'Classics' Devastator.

First impressions are Mad Blender might be the weakest figure of the set, but it still looks plenty acceptable. This thing will likely be the most awesome piece in a collection. Hope there aren't (m)any delays...

Well, its my favorite figure name so far in this combiner. Mad Blender, nice.

Nothing official but the info came out of BotCon. I came by it in a post by Venksta (aka Renderform) on another board.

Precisely. Wait, what?! Truth be told I think we've both misunderstood what the other was saying somewhere along the line, so let's just draw a line under that one.

When Venkta speaks I listen, especially when it comes to third party stuff.

Let's just all keep our fingers crossed! I want a new Menasor in the worst way.

Well he looks cool I need official or Proto Type pics to be completley sold on him but so far i like

Replace the grey cement tank with purple or green.

It looks extremely bland.
