Looks like G1 target masters, only fully articulated. Just over 2 inches tall according to the album description.

Also on Mastershooter's facebook page, someone posted a link to another website with some good 3D printing designs of some custom targetmasters on http://www.shapeways.com/shops/nevergrowingup. Apart from therse there are also custom made hands for Transformers, custom made WFC Frenzy and Rumble and a female head for a custom Terradive figure.

Yeah, but those are Shapeways prints. Not a very smooth finish. I'm more interested in stuff made of actual plastic. Higher quality and more durable. Maybe give that it's own thread? There is a market for Shapeways prints, so it warrants it's own discussion.

Bolt Action "The hot steel rod" is a great porn name, however Minute Bot "The quick shot" is not but I digress...

Yay for more Target Masters Yay!!!

They are intended to be silly references to the figures they are mode to go with.

HAHAHAHA
Shot Piece HAS to be a reference to Dr Smoov's "The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime"
oh God I have to watch that again

by **necr0blivion** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 11:59 pm

Hells yeah for "Shot Piece"!

It looks like they will be fairly articulated, so I'm hopeful these will be good for our Classics (et al) collections. I'll hopefully order each of these figures.

and hopefully, nothing happens to Galvatron right up his keister.

No thanks, I'll take my Takara Micron Campaign figures instead.

I've been watching these designs as they were created, and I have to say, I'm looking forward both to owning these and to carrying another great MasterShooter product. They look terrific!

by **Un_Chakal** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:41 am

They all seem to be composed of 2 different kinds of parts. All the same head, 2 different torsos, 2 different arms, 2 different types of legs all swapped up between the 4 different figures.
Still I'm getting them for my Classics guys. I hope they give them different heads at least.

C-CLIP COMPATIBLE!

Good news: I have all the Generations figures mentioned.

Bad news: Not planning on getting these in the near future.

odd how no one mentioned "the stuff" was on backwards in robot mode.

the added articulation is nice, but I was really disappointed with the "Megatron" Mega-Gun I got. Granted, that was essentially v1 and these are looking like v2. But robots with a giant cannon sticking out their arse just doesn't do it for me…

So if anyone is wanting a Mega-Gun… complete and repackaged?

by **Rated X** » Sun Sep 11, 2011 2:42 am

Fianally, something we actually need. Ill be getting these and laughing as those e-bay hoarders have to slash their prices on United targetmaster mini-cons. :grin:

I want them, esp. since their C-Clip compatible, but I'm guessing Price and Quality and such will all keep me away...

This. In fact the two Megatron figures where about 35$+shipping, and they both looked raw and unfinished.
As I am living in Europe, I might go for the Shapeways route: the Drawn-steel hero designs look amazing. I'm a bit concerned about possible rub issues on the painted ball joints, though...
