From NYCC 2013

hmmm.. Time to cancel Igear's sharks?

I need to see the robot mode first and the scale.

Looking very nice but i probably won't be getting this sharkticons are far from being at the top of my list.

It's a race (both time and cost) to see which one I'll get. I think the iGear are still scheduled for December. I'm definitely getting one.

My Alicon is lonely...

if they can do me 3 for under £100 I'll be interested, otherwise probably no.

More images I took at NYCC 2013:

I'm guessing from what I can read in the last few pics is that pre orders go up in November. Hopefully more finalized/finished pics appear soon.

Isn't this the same design as IGear?

I hope not. That would be pretty scummy.




Similar, I think, but not the same.

Wonder if UT and iGears scale well together? It would be nice to have both!

This is actually pretty funny if UT stole this from Igear.. =X
but I'm sure Igear took this from someone else too. I see that they are both pretty much the same. I can't see much of any differences..

To be honest I would rather support Unique Toys, if they are price similar I would rather get it from them.

There are definitely major differences, to the extent that prototypes based on the same character(s) can have major differences.

Really? I can't see it.. besides minor details.. looks the same to me. I mean unless there's a difference in size?

There are a lot of differences. Look between the eyes, the chin, the dorsal fin, the hips, the claws, the details on the forearms, and there are a probably a bunch more differences. If you can find the bot modes, there are differences there as well. I don't know if there are differences in the transformation. That will remain to be seen.

It looks better than Igear, but it's still just a render. Depending on the price I would like three of each.

3Pack at $90.

Slightly cheaper than iGear. Let's see a preorder, BBTS.

Though, I think how the units look will determine which way I go. Neither one is blowing my socks off. I think I like the darker grey of the iGear just a bit more than Unique Toys.









Size comparisons would be nice too. I'd not want this guy to be scout or voyager. iGear's apparent deluxe size should be fine.

I think I'll get both. Like my Sweeps I don't mind if my Sharkticons are different models. It's a little more visually interesting.

On the face of it I expect these to be similar in size. A pop can is similar to deluxe size and I believe the comparison pics with their Galvatron shows UT's to be small deluxe size as well.

Definitely more a fan of the UT version.

It really looks like they're stepping it up post-Warlord. Good for them.

What about their size? We know Igear's but not UT's, do we?

Ok, so maybe not quite small deluxe. It's hard to say.

Hmmmmm yeah... I guess the scale makes sense. And if the final product really makes those renders justice, they seem nicely detailed. So if the price is similar or lower than Igear, I'll be getting these. Good to know they're 3-pack too.

I'm probably sticking to iGear's if not getting both eventually. I like that the iGear versions have individual robot mode heads.
