Quoted for truth. Usual suspects, you know you're not gonna agree and it's just embarrassing/confusing to read.

*Ahem* To get back on-topic, I will probably be getting these. Maybe they'll do the Decepticons, too!

As for Wingspan & Pounce X2Toys have teased this lately .

I'd love some Wingspan and Pounce, but not sure I want Pounce to look like a Voltron lion.

Yeah i feel the same way about the head , it's a deal breaker for me , they need to at least have a look at the G1 pounce head

It should be looking more like Ravage than Voltron

yup, not sold on Pounce at all, and it's the Con Clones I want! Oh well, maybe they'll improve, or I'll save me some money, either way, that's a good thing!

I dig the Voltron look.

I'd be OK if they made it more geewunny too, but if the picture is what they released, I'd be interested.

I had the Decepticon clones as a kid, not the Autobot ones, so I'm definitely more interested in them.

I agree. The designs as they are right now - are not pulling me in.

Agreed. I like the overall aesthetics. But some panels to hide the ball joints (I assume they are part of the transformation) would seem to be warranted.

They look pretty decent until those ball joints catch my eye , not sure i can over look that . Hopefully you can turn the thighs around to hide them .

I'm in agreement that I hate the thigh joints. I hope something can be done about them

Think these X2Toys look so ugly, cheap and low quality next to those HasTak TF toys.

by **necr0blivion** » Sun May 04, 2014 1:35 am

Maybe the painted product will diminish the eyesore of those ball joints...?

I really like almost everything about him. But my eyes just keep getting drawn down to his exposed balls.

:shock:

Website · by **RK_Striker_JK_5** » Sun May 04, 2014 6:14 pm

Yeah, not to beat the possibly-already dead horse, but those ball joints in the hips. Other than those I love it.

by **Rated X** » Sun May 04, 2014 6:30 pm

I can live with the ball joints. While it's not pretty, I think color will help a lot. No figure is perfect. There's always some minor nitpick but will be happy to have the autobot clones on my shelf.

Looking from how they're made ... maybe you can turn them around? It looks like there's a swivel just above the knee.

Is this homaging anything in particular, i.e. FOC?

I believe these are supposed to be the Autobot clones Cloudraker and Fastlane:

Thanks! I'll have to look them up and read more about them.

Agreed, thanks again. I don't know much about these two either.

I wonder if the thigh can be swiveled around 180 degrees, since it is a ball joint, to cover up the ball & socket?

They did appear in the G1 cartoon, briefly. Also, I love Tfwiki:

Tfwiki.net wrote:Cloudraker has two heat-sensitive rubsigns on his chest—one indicates he is an Autobot, the other reveals a plane image, indicating which Clone he is. This is especially useful for those times when you can't just turn him over and see the cockpit sticking out of his crotch.
