Is it just me or was video kinda ****? The picture was really jumpy.

I just got an e-mail from BBTS saying my pre-order in. I was even thinking of getting a second one so my Shadow Commander could have 2 shoulder cannons, not to mention 2 little minion/drone guys, but now I'm thinking of removing him from my PoL and taking store credit. Maybe when they get around to actually coloring him like Rumble and Frenzy they'll fix the peg problem, but until then pass.

Not Bad... but the whole City Commander Era of Third Party figures is just not for me.

how to fit the sholder peg! its easy super glu the peg cover it let it dry and then shove it in the hole its an old trick . you can use it on loose ball joints as well. patients is the key. when it drys it add that milimeter of coverage you need for proper fitting. PROMISE!

Release this in the colors we want and I'll bite.

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:

Already got MP skywarp for $60 when it first hit the stores. Honestly I would love to buy online but right now I can only get what cold cash allows. This will be my first Botcon so Im hoping to pick up all the figures I see from these 3rd party sites.

Not to get off topic but does anyone know why the fans project posts their Bruticus Maximus sets as white in color ??? Are those prototype photos or are they trying to market them to collectors who like to paint models ???

Rated X,
The fansproject TF Crossfire 02 (Bruticus) pics are of the unpainted prototype.
Once the figure is released, it will be painted. The Shadow Warrior from Perfect Effect should be coming out in other colors as well. I read that there are going to be 3 different releases for this mold.

looks good to me, Shadow Commander with beefy shoulder cannon minions shall be mine. On a totally unrelated topic, the links to different fansites at the bottom of the page, all of them except gicobra.com take me to the Seibertron.com homepage, was wondering if it was just my setup or if there's a redirection issue with the links.
EDIT: even if I tried typing in machinerobo.com in my browser to check it out, I got redirected to Seibertron.

Touche, my friend, as I too also have my own Masterpiece Skywarp! Got it for Christmas too, to top it all off :lol:

, but unfortunately, I accidentally broke off his left wing. I was trying to pull the wing up off the back piece when it snapped. No worries, it's all repaired, but I have to be careful around that wing now, as all I did to fix it was put it back in, because one of the arcs (as I call them) is still on there, the other one snapped :BANG_HEAD:

I'm with you dude, and what's worse is that not only do I not own the Commander mol, but I don't even own a Classics Optimus Prime mold, which sucks for me :lol:

. I've seen pics that in gun mode, Shadpw Warroir can be held by other figures. Is this true? If so, hah, I can imagine Classics Bumblebee struggling to hold Shadow Warrior... :lol:
