I have 2 on pre-order... I think this is pretty awesome. I noticed he was having issues with getting him to attach to the shoulder, not a worry for me as I plan to get him strictly to display as a new Rumble/Frenzy figure with the pile-drivers attatched... Here's hoping for more colors of this sweet figure!

Never do this "FIRST" crap again.

Warnings will start to flow for that junk.

...seriously? Nothing to contribute, a "lolimfirst" comment, and a bunch of smilies?

I must be getting old. My first thought after reading the title of the news story was, "Why is a Transformers site making a news post about a game that's more than 10 years old?"

Seriously Perfect Effect, you couldn't find a factory that could manufacture the peg to fit in Shadow Commander's shoulder? You market him as a shoulder cannon add on but can't get that right? Cool figure but no excuse for this. Fansproject would have gotten this right.

If Perfect Effect is going to remain a player, they need to get these quality issues behind them, quickly too.

This guy looks amazing. The photoshopped pictures didn't do him justice. I am a little disappointed that he doesn't peg in to the city commander mold very well but i still want him. Now the question is.. Do i buy him now, or wait for the repaints..? :-?

So far the Shadow Warrior looks better as a stand alone figure than as an "add-on".

If I can't convince myself to buy a figure (and I'm fantastic at that), what hope does this company have?

I'll most likely get one(or two of these) in addition to the Shadow Commander set this summer.

Or at the earliest, late Spring. Some time after Adepticon, anyway...

Would be nice to see a red and blue version as Rumble and Frenzy. i really could care less about the "shadow commander". But maybe if the price is right Ill pick pne up at Botcon. How much...$100 bucks I bet ???

It's not because you're old, it's because you're a humongous nerd. NERD!

I thought the exact same thing. You either piss with the big dogs, or go back to the pound.

About the same chance a bottle of tequila has at Kenny Rogers house.

Now, as FR can attest I think his customs are the best out there bar none. If you haven't seen his recent Hardhead w/ Duros you're missing out. I have no doubt that FR will take these out of place figures and make them work. Personally I don't like the dark colors.

I wonder what other figures Perfect Effect are going to try and do?

I saw some I hadn't seen before, like the Stunticon homage and the white repaint of the Red Bull truck.

Dammit FR!
YOU BEAT ME TO THE VIDEO REVIEW!
Ah oh well, this thing is awesome, a great update on the R/F character, and the shoulder thing is easy to fix.

I've got two on the way from bbts. Figured I might as well get two that way Shadow Commander can have both shoulder cannons (provided they will attach properly!) or I can repaint them into Rumble and Frenzy (provided PE doesn't do a run in their colors).

When I first got news of this, I was kinda scetchy. Sure, I wanted a better Rumble (Who is, by the way, blue), but I wasn't so sure about this guy. But when I saw the review, my mind was set. I have high expectations for this guy when I get him in a month or so. I'd get it soon, but I'm broke right now :BANG_HEAD: . Other than that, awesome figure! :APPLAUSE:

Ok, if you want a super sheap one, go to Bigbadtoystore and buy it for about 30-40$. Use the rest of the 70$ to buy yourself a Masterpiece Skywarp from Wal-Mart :lol:

Looks interesting. I don't own Shadow Commander, so it not being a good fit means little. Music Label Soundwave, Ravage and Auto-Scotu need company.
