Hate how the hands fit in with these guys. Or rather, how they hang off the back and look really conspicuous. Oh, well. That's what the parts drawer is for.
Anyhow, these guys look fantastic.

I like mixmaster, but I hope you can keep his barrel on his back G1 style. Im no fan of all those guns mounted to his body. It looks silly. Just give him a big a** gun like the G1 toy and Im good.

Damn. I think I might have to buy these now. Any news on if they'll do a gift set of all 6?

I actually like the option of his barrel coming apart.
I think it's optional in robot mode.
I like the whole set, but Devastator's head is so not Devastator. That's one of the things I love about that design.

It should be more like this with the visor.
I really want to get a third party figure, Crossfire is to expensive and only ships within US. Hercules is expensive, but I would really love to get Giant. But that one's not out yet :s
Is there any word on some third company making a G1 head for Hercules? That would seal the deal for me.

And what's going on with Mad Blender??!! It's getting beyond a joke. Is he going to have a green drum or a purple drum? Will it contain green weapons or purple weapons? I don't care what anyone says from this point on. I won't believe anything until I have the figure in my hands, and even then I'll get a second opinion.
As figures go, these are still brilliant. Just need the colours sorting out.

Theres a picture WAY back that shows all of the weapons (excluding the barrel guns) and how to combine them. For instance Heavy Labor has the barrel, attached to his gun is Structor's gun, then Dr Crank's gun. Ontop of Structors gun is Exgraver's gun. Below Structor's gun is Neckbreaker's gun which is attached to Madblender's gun which is below Dr Crank's gun. Madblender's gun is the handle.

I am pretty sure you can keep the guns on the back, atleast from my understanding of the parts.

Then whats the point in asking?

I hope the purple comes off easy. I'm still wary of how that giant patch of purple it's going to look combined.
I agree on the hand location, I know that the arms have it harder, but they integrated the head nicely. Speaking of which, it's funny the demand for a G1 accurate head when the art really was a face on a block. (yes, I'm aware Giant pulls off the general impression nicely, it's still funny)

I don't think anyone wants one 100% like that. If people are like me they want that smae look, but with some added details.
Speaking just for myself, it's the old movie that did it. Just seeing Devestator tear into Autobot City just ingrained that version of the head into my mind above the other versions.

Rhetorical, my friend. Just highlighting what I was talking about.

As for the legs, as far as I can tell from the shots, the bars with the blades are set below the knees, so he should be able to bend fine (which would be great because it's more viually interesting and less kibbly)

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy....?
The black on Neckbreaker is a bit offputting. Otherwise I am satisfied. I really like the Madblender weapons.

And I agree about NB's black chest. It doesn't go with the rest. And the alt mode woulda looked better with it green, too. Hope a 3rd party or TFC themselves put out a replacement.

Oh good lord, Sodan-1 was right. Just block out all input regarding that stupid drum until it's released. It'll be one of them.

However, I do not find that the toys that make Hercules look that great or even detailed considering that they are expensive toys and 3rd party products. To me they look on par with the classics toys and the generation line, but for the price they should look way better. Compare these 2 with 'Swindle' by fansprojects (which is about 25-30$ cheaper)or other figures by that company and tell me which looks better or more detailed.
