I like it.

I don't love it, but it would fill the spot well enough.

Agree, the arms need work.

I don't say this often about male-portrayed robots, but...

nice legs.

Hmm, with this guy... I think every member of the FOC Wreckers combiner now has a nigh-infinitely superior counterpart. Maybe I'll combine him and use him as my Classics-style Emirate Xaaron.

Oh god dammit that's a really good idea...

Not the combined part, but repurposing FoC Impactor into Xaaron is a good idea...

Thanks, kinda.

A couple of picture of him. The head's a smidgen too big, and he's gotta lean forward, so it looks a bit akward. But for these molds, that's par for the course. I dunno, maybe he wants to actually live up to the title of 'emirate' and gets an upgrade?

I don't recall - what's the normal head like on Impactor? Is it connected on a ball joint? Primus knows over the years I've acquired a lot of spare heads. Maybe one of them would fit nice enough.

Ball joint.

I gotta agree here. I'm hoping the final product will look a little better in the arm design.

Come to think of it, given the previously announce Impactors have never made it to market, I'm just hoping we'll get an Impactor.

True.

Is that a bit of diecast on the feet and wheels/tracks? Looks ok from the waist down! :lol:

Here's a video of Firing pins , erm... shoulder cannon action feature .

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Thu Jul 31, 2014 6:53 am

This is one figure i'm really looking forward to getting already .

Can anybody make the picture a little lighter to bring out some more details ?

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Sun Aug 03, 2014 7:26 am

Well here he is armored up and with what i'm assuming will be an alternative head .

I can't wait to see some color on this

Website · by **RK_Striker_JK_5** » Sun Aug 03, 2014 8:06 am

Now that doesn't look too bad.

Agreed. Spiky...

Hmmm, this is quite interesting! I would definitely consider buying this once color photos show up.

I like it, but I can do without the armor and the eyepiece on the head.

Woah, didn't know it was going to be Deluxe size. I'm out.

News Credits: 33 · by **Genocide G2.0** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:26 pm

Got to say i'm very disappointed in the size of this guy . I wanted this to be a voyager so bad .

Website · by **RK_Striker_JK_5** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:38 pm

*shrugs* As long as the price isn't too high, I'll probably get him. He's Impactor... but he never really made that much of an impact on me, to be honest.

by **Rated X** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 10:47 pm

I'm good with him being a deluxe. it sure beats the FOC Impactor most people are currently using which was also a deluxe. Would a voyager have been nice ? Sure it would. But sometimes the commander doesn't have to be as big as his brutes. (Roadbuster and Whirl) After all he is the brains of the operation, not the brawn. Additionally, he will scale nicely with Mech Ideas Topspin and Twin Twist.

loving the look and size of him. He'll fit in nicely with the rest of my Wreckers. That pellet launching BS seems overly complicated and fiddly for something that...was anyone asking for it? I'd rather the harpoon was spring-loaded with a thread attached to be honest, since that's a feature the character has used before. I don't recall him ever firing tiny little plastic balls at anyone in the comics.

That would be hilarious! "Wreckers: The Early Days" :lol:
