From the wiebo page of jeffyzhong we have an image of all six members of TFC Toys Hercules team lined up side by side. We see completed versions of Heavylabor and Exgraver along with prototype and test shot versions of Neck Breaker, Dr. Crank, Mad Blender, and Structor. While we've seen all of these guys before, this image let's us see how all the team member measure up to one another in their individual robot modes. Image mirrored below.

In other Hercules news, site sponsor Robotkingdom have updated their release date for the next Hercules member, Heavylabor, to around mid-October. He was previously scheduled to release mid-September.

they look a little bit smaller than Exgraver. I'm disappointed, but only slightly; still committed to getting them all!

they all look pretty good and detailed. all pretty much the same height, just like in the cartoon. hopefully they come without any defects since they are 100 bucks a pop. quality should NOT be an issue.

I keep going back and forth on whether or not to invest in these guys.

Pros
It's a huge Devastator.
They're green.
TFC did replace Scavanger's shovel for free.


Cons
The price.
Not in scale with Classics
No cartoon homage except for Scrapper.


And the big question - How will Devastator hold together once he is assembled?

Not a fan of Neckbreaker's chest wings.

I imagine I can do something about it when I get mine, but in that picture, I do not like the look.

They seem to be the same wings as on Devestator's chest shield, so they're probably removable.

They are...they've shown pics without.

With you all the way on this. I'd add as a con that the combined Devsatator looks very Soul of Chogokin-not a good match for Classics figures, especially since the separate figures look very G1.

And based on how long my TFC GoW2 gun welds held together, I'm still afraid of their long term durability (mainly the connection points).

speaking of how they measure up, how big are these guys?
they seem roughly deluxes to me.

I think these are a great match for the classics line. I mean each one is almost the same size as Prime. I mean in real life these things would be larger than a Tractor Trailer Truck. Also The comined form is going to be huge. Sure the actual scale should be a little larger if you want it in scale. But look at G1, the original devestator was tiny. Also the actual classics devestator is crap.

Voyager sized. Scavenger is about the size of Classics Prime.

I think this guy will suffice as a classics Devy but I think the individual bots are a little blocky to match the Classics aesthetics.

Nothing's blockier than Universe Inferno / Grapple. Not really Classics per-say, but Label Soundwave is also blocky. And let's not forget the blocky glory of City Commander.

I don't plan on putting them with the Classics guys, anyways. This is just a super nice Devastator. Which should say a lot since I am almost exclusively a Classics collector. I'd rather just get another FP upgrade for the REAL Classics Devastator, because personally I liked it already, but elbows would be nice... Like Superion. God, if any set needed an upgrade it was that one.

When I get my house back in shape, I will be trying to put some of these individually on the shelf as Classics. I think they can fit, but 'my classics' may not look like 'your classics'. I have pieces from ROTF in it, as well as UNIVERSE, CLASSICSs, UNITED, HENKEI. But I may not be as particular as some folks. I mean if you have an Animated Arcee in there, or an Armada Tidalwave, you can stick this in there.

A very valid point. I have a few cybertron repaints thrown in there. They are pretty blocky as well.

they do look kind of blocky but the combined mode looks fantastic. i think thats what their main focus was. thats not to say the individual toys doesnt look stunning either....because they do

I don't have Animated Arcee or Armada Tidalwave with my Classics, although I do have both, but I think these fit just fine with Classics. I think they look great and fit in either mode.

It was meant more as a set of complete opposites that some might find places in their CHUGS collection for.

So I have a pre-order for Exgraver and Heavylabor at Big Bad Toy Store, I have been checking thier site for updates, because the shipping dates have been pushed back from September to October. But BBTS has not updated. Now TF Source seems to be up to date and is stating that Exgraver should be arriving for them in the next week or two. I really dont want to miss out on Exgraver and Heavylabor. Should I switch my pre order to TF Source or keep it at BBTS. I have never dealt with either one.

probably just keep your bbts order and be patient. they probably will both get them at or around the same time, and im sure TFC will be producing these for a little while, at least until 4 of them are out by my guess (whatever thats worth)

Anyone that has a pic of Michael Jackson and a Chimp in their signature section, their word has to be worth something. I just want to make sure I dont pay second market prices because in two years, heck even a year. You think 100 dollars a figure is expensive. I could see them hitting 200 a figure easily at some point. Heck I have seen in hand Exgravers sell for 150 on EBay already.
