A true work of art here. Shame I'm committed to a specific scale that matches FP, Maketoys, and MMC otherwise I'd be all over this.
Really looks amazing.

Beautiful set, lots of detail and weapons. Bot, combiner, and alt modes look awesome! Let's hope the colors kick ass.

It's a gorgeous looking set. But alas it's out of scale for my shelves.
I shall remain content with FP Bruticus.

Scale aside. This thing will probably come with a hefty pricetag.
This might be over $600?
Looks pretty flawless though.

I'm just blown away by this set i couldn't ask for any more i can't stop looking at it

.
i like the way they made blast-off look huge in alt but the same size as the other members in robot mode and there doesn't seem to much kibble..
I can see the first nit pick some one wont be suited with that's the chest shield being too low.

Vortex's alt mode looks a little small compared to everyone else though.
It's impressive looking but just too damn big for me.

I don't think he looks to small in alt he looks to be a head shorter than the rest in robot though.
Warbotron looking so giant probably has more to do with fp wildrider being the size comparison.

I just saw this on FB and wanted to share myself.
Hot damn this looks awesome. The limbs look to be Voyager scale?
Any other size comparison with FP Wildrider, just how large is he?

FP Wildrider is like a slightly large scout I guess. The FP Stunticons are pretty tiny.

What....?
But who....?
When....?
And how....?
HOLYMOTHERF***INGCHRIST!!!
These guys look absolutely perfect. Amazing. Stupendous.
But that size.... Geez, I don't know. Am I right in assuming these will be
the biggest team of 3rd party combiners? I could maybe twist my own arm on the size if they were joint biggest, but no way bigger than Hercules or Predaking. These guys must have a serious inferiority complex to make their figures
this big.
Oh well. MMC will probably announce their own Combaticons by the end of the week.

This is beautiful! But, alas, I will have to appreciate this from afar as I prefer to fill blanks in my collection rather than replacing stuff. FP Bruticus is awesome it its own way. I would have liked TFC's Superion, but FP Superion suffices just fine.
Still, I will be drooling over this one for years to come. With the individual limb bots being about voyager, would it be too far out there to consider this MP scale?

[Edit] And a minute before I post this, Dead Metal posts a scale with MP Sideswipe. Nice!

Looks nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big. I blame TFC/Toyworld for unnecessarily upping the ante scale wise. Wildrider is right between scout and deluxe, so these guys will be damn big. plus. When will someone make Defensor. We're on 2 superions, 2 devastators, 2 bruticii (?) 3 predakings (!) But as yet not a single company has bothered with the Protectobots.

The only complaint I have is that I only collect MPs now, and those are super accurate.
However, this set here, only Blast Off and Brawl look like acccurate representations of the cartoon, while the other 3 and Bruticus look like Classics-Esq re-imaginations.
But then again, Cartoon accurate Vortex and Swindle would be super duper impossible.
I want to see colour pics of this before I decide.
But ignoring all that above, this still kicks so much ass!

I'd be hesitant to call these "MP Scale" - that would imply they're as large as Prime or Starscream. Rather, I would size sum these up as Voyager sized Classics.
I'd like to see colors and pricing, but even more, I want to know what group is doing this. With the onslaught of MPs, I've been thinking about significantly downsizing my collection, but this may make the cut of new acquisitions based on scale & price. Would love to see a few shots comparing this guy with Herc.

There are some photos on the Ares thread from I think TFCon which shows a homage to Streetwise standing alongside TFC's Predacons.
They're coming.

Here's another approximation of scale/size from NECIO.

Given the constant complaints about arm gaps in smaller figures like FP's Bruticus & Intimidator, I'm surprised a combiner of this size would suffer from this problem, and that it has not yet been engineered away.
Also, he's freaking massive!

While the almost MP scale dissappoints me, I buy anything Combaticons. I would buy an extra cofee table just for this guy. This is the MP of all MP's. But since TFC, Toyworld and MMC are all a bunch of copycats anyway, I would love to see some Bruticus's from them a bit smaller scale so I can choose one. And for the record this design blows FP Bruticus out the water and I have two of them.
