Help Mastermind Creations Decide on Hexatron's Colours

I cannot wait for this fig. Personally I like the Civil War colours more. It strikes me as less garish.

WWI Has alot of nice detailing going on...

This is a homage to a G1 character, so I say G1 all the way !!! ANIMIE

There is simply no question....Civil War 'nuff said!

Civil War ver. all the way. maybe use the WWI ver. for an exclusive (that i wont buy)

Definitely Civil War.

though i like both i prefer the ww version cuz of the whole WFC energon vein look to it.

by the way who is sixshot?

Exactly why I bloody hate it!

if you look to the right-bottom corner you can see different formats, weapons, and something else i can't remember that was designed for the fig.

i wonder what that concusion blaster looks like.

i would like civil war better if it had some more paint detailing on the white arms.
there to bland for me.

I give another vote for the civil war colors.

The WW1 versions seems to have a awful glaring neon puple high light color thing going on that reminds me too much of Generation 2.

SOLUTION: Since i'll be buying 2 of this toy,release it in both color schemes.

Update: I take back my comment/suggestion on them making both color schemes. Since I'll be buying 2,I prefer to get 2 of the Civil war colors.

I would go with Civil War colors but why not offer both?

Still, if I can spare whatever organ I'll have to sell to get this, it will be mine! But if they're at the "which color?" stage we probably have at least 6 months to go.

Civil War, hands down.
I don't like the neon purple of the WWI, and to me it doesn't seem to be so consistent with the IDW colors too...

I like the Civil War colors better, Sixshot (sadly) wasn't in WFC so he doesn't need those Energon veins in my opinion.

WHAT?!

Oh com’on! we get the first six changer since RID Galvatron and Megs’ and its based upon the original six changer Sixshot and they can’t decide the color scheme?

Headmasters/G1 ALL THE WAY!!!
Also repaints with remolds as: Sixknight, Greatshot, Quickswitch

Civil War. The added highlight in the other version only make him took tacky, and not really add to the figure. The Civil War one looks more like Sixshot anyways.

Read up. He is only one of the most bad-arsed G1 characters ever. The first character (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong) to have more than 3 modes.

It's impossible to tell which one looks better when they're presented on completely different backgrounds--one with a big white burst, the other all dark. They need to put them both on the same plain, preferably white or similarly neutral background to be able to judge without being influenced by the background.

It's Civil War colors. This ain't even a question.

What they said!

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I like the WWI colors much better. I love the intensity of the green and the highlights add more depth to the overall look.

Sixshot is one of my all-time fav characters, but with all modern updates I prefer it when they "modernize" the color schemes etc. (that's why I generally prefer Henkei and United over Generations and RTS). It just looks more "metal" and real to me, but it's certainly a matter of taste.

Since my POV is obviously doomed to failure, I just hope they make both so that I can get the WWI version.

Is it just me, or is he holding drift's sword?

isn't that Generations Drift's sword?

Edit: lol see above

Civil war. Being such a close design to G1, I can see no other option. I'm just hoping we get a GreatShot repaint! I love this design and I love my KM - 01, I will have ZERO hesitation on preordering this one!

WHAT!? This is the first i've heard of this figure!! It looks excellent!

As for the colours......civil war but would need a little bit of accent colour on the arms.IMO. But if that's not possible then i would be very tempted to hit Reprolabels and do a little custom sticker application.

Nevertheless, i'm really lookin forward to this release.

EDIT: Actually.....scratch my suggestion for accent paint apps. The more i look at it the more i like my idea of customizing some Sixshot stickers. That would make it a really classy homage figure if ya ask me.

Civil war

im blind? i dont see a difference?

Atomatron wrote:im blind? i dont see a difference?

Really? There's a huge difference. But if you don't see it then just trust us when we say Civil War is the colour scheme you want.

I like the WW styled one. But they really should have the same background in the comparison pictures.

OH PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS METAL, TELL ME HE TRANSFORMS

Atomatron wrote:im blind? i dont see a difference?

The WWI version has a brighter & deeper green, like a forest green. The purple of the legs is brighter. Then there's the blinding hot neon pink detailing. It's overall just garish. Like Sixshot in a bad technicolor.

I'm not sure if it's too late to vote, but I vote Civil War.

It's Mastermind, so of course.

Six times in fact

WAAAAANT!!!!!!!

It seems like this project has moved to the forefront for Masterminds... Which is fine with me because it is absolutely epic. However, I wish the "Cyclops" (Hearts of Steel Shockwave) had made it into production. Has anyone heard any news about that one?

OMG! I WANT BOTH! GIVE THEM TO ME NOW!

But if I had to choose, definitely the first one. I like the toy/anime colors better. Though I do like how the second one does have a little bit of a War For Cybertron look, that can all be done to the first one aftermarket. Just give it a black wash and add some bright purple paint. Very easy customizing work.

Oh, and if he's already coming with swords and shurikens, that would make it that much easier to do a Shadow Maru repaint/remold. Not to mention the Greatshot repaint/remold, ofcourse. Oh, and there's a ghost repaint coming? And a Shattered Glass version?! Oh, please, if you're looking for a color scheme for that one, look no further! Canadian Sixshot, eh?

I will buy this in every color scheme it comes in!

oh dear lord

it's beautiful!

the GEEWUNNER in me wants Civil War, but WWI's energon glow.

I WISH! Been waiting for that guy forever. I'd been hoping Shockwave (following Prime) would have led to a breakout of Hearts of Steel styled third-party figures. To the point that we'd see loved names with imagined styles that were never featured in the short run of IDW comics...not that there aren't plenty of things to cover from the comics as well though.

GET THE HELL OUTTA MY HEAD!!!

I believe the first image is a more accurate representation of Sixshot.

I do like them both but if there was only one offered, I'd go for the C.W.

According to TFCon, he should be available before the new year, and Leader Class

Well if you look carefully on the image, there are two more colourschemes: Ghost and Shattered. It wouldn't surprise me if one of these was Shadow Maru.

I believe shockwave is due around christmas while sixshot is due next spring. They also mention on facebook that they will have two lines going. Knight Morphers for steampunk HOS style and the Reformatted line for G1 lovers.

Edit: oops

OMG. Is this something you heard in person? I'm not at all questioning the truth of it, I just want to know if there is an article with pictures? I had completely given up on this guy. Leader you say? Holy Shnikey's!!!!

If you go to their Facebook page ig says preorders should start around October an be available by December

I wonder what the price tag will be on him?

I prefer the G1 accurate, so my vote goes to the civil war paintscheme.

I actually tried to vote on Facebook but i can't figure out how to post there, crappy shit lol.

I was just looking at them again, and I just noticed where it says "Terminus Hexatron" it also says "Grandus Hexatron"(Greatshot) and "Shadow Hexatron"(Shadow Maru). So excited! Hope they do a Nemesis version too!

I prefer the civil war colors.
