Site sponsor Robotkingdom has uploaded a new gallery of TFC Toys Hercules images to their facebook page. We see new images of Mad Blender and Neck Breaker in their final decos, a fully combined Hercules, and the fully combined gun. Images have been mirrored below. The final two Hercules figures Mad Blender and Neck Breaker can be pre-ordered at Robotkingdom by clicking here and here.

So nice! So very nice! I'm glad I started buying in to these when I did months ago!

Pure win, glad i pick em. 2 more and i can finally take my mind of this

suspenseful one of biggest devastators that have 3 modes all togeather .

to bad cement mixer drum isnt purple i can deal with it way it is

Hercules and the other bots all look great. Neck Breaker is still kinda awkward with that fist in both modes, but being able to use it as a giant punch glove is a cute compensation. I wonder how long until they line up their next project.

My only complaint is that the entire set isn't in my hands this very moment.

Oh, and Neck Breaker's black chest.

And that there's still no concrete word of a fix for Heavy Labor's hips.

This is looking really awesome. I can see you can build a fully red weapon which isn't a suprise. But for some reason two of my red parts don't like to work together and they are suppose to fit each other.

It's so beautiful.

And I'll never own it

I want my purple barrel!!!!

But, yea, I love it.

Im sure someone will KO the barrel in purple since it is removable. I also see another company doing a cartoon accurate head for this guy. And Im sure reprolabels will cover up Bonecrushers black chest with green.

I have the same issue - in involves the scope piece trying to fit on top of the two groves of the back piece of barrel. However, this is not seen in the purple version. I think the red piece needs to be shaved down a bit.

That might be the case for all of them. I know mine are that way...and I've heard many others say the same.

Soon the sleeping Giant shall awaken and he shall come for us all!! Well for this fan anyway, first in piss yellew then toxic green!

*Sighs, then taps foot* Come on... I want my Constructicons!

I hope they do a full box set of this guy with all the fixes and tweaks done to alleviate any QC concerns present in the individual releases. Then I'll pick that up.

Some notes:

• Devastator's left hand is actually integrated into Neckbreaker / not-Bonecrusher's alternate mode; it serves as a ground-ripper attachment. For some reason, none of the images thus far show the hand with the fingers extended downward, which confuses matters.
  
  
• TFC Toys options for fixing the Heavylabor / not-Long Haul hip ratchet issue are rather limited; the construction of the figure makes disassembly and replacement of the parts in question extremely difficult for the average owner. In this particular situation, the only feasible solution may be for owners to return and replace the figures in question.
  
  
• The inability for Exgraver / not-Scavenger and Dr. Crank / not-Hook's translucent weapons to fit together does indeed seem to be a result of the thickening of their interlocking 'fins'. I imagine TFC Toys will solve this issue by simply releasing replacement weapons with the final two sets.

Am I the only one who noticed he took off his sunglasses?

idk but it sort of looks like that one leg is longer than the other or is it just me? when you look at the images head on the knees begin at the same height where the legs connect but as you move down you notice on knee has to be bent to give balance. i dont know it just seems off.

i don't think so actually


it appears lower parts are covered by the black cloth

TFSource just posted on Facebook that Neckbreaker will be shipping to them next week and Mad Blender will be shortly after that!!!!!

Is anyone else besides me really...confused and unhappy with the "glowy red" second weapon set that comes with the Herc bots?

I have been on the fence about painting the second set purple to match the first, or even black to make an actual realistic-style combined gun for Herc.

The purple repaint option makes the most sense (his gun was purple in the cartoon anyways), and would make the parts look alot better especially on the bots that actually use them in alt mode as pistons or whatnot...would I be ruining the set to consider doing this?

i found that JB Infinity Warfare Set (Red) really fits Herc (there's a tab on his palm) so with that and the red piping, the red gun just fit the theme very well

Hercules looks amazing!

Now to rain on the parade: Neck Breaker looks so-so. As great as Hercules looks, Neck Breaker's looks average in both modes. I'm trying to be nice, I'm in love with Hercules just like everyone here, but let's face it: Neck Breaker's alt mode is lame.
