TFC Toys Neck Breaker and Mad Blender Now Available for Pre-Order

Mixmaster Mad Blender is pretty good, but Bonecrusher Neck Breaker is crap. Once again a REALLY bad alt mode and a bland robotmode. And a non-integrated Devastator fist? PASS...

Also... Third picture in robot mode has different legs / feet than the other pictures?! I do like the shovel-feet slightly better than the configuration in the third picture, but it looks like both configurations are possible?

I think the hand will integrate. Notice that clip on the rear section of the bulldozer, I believe that's the base of the hand it's holding. The hand will probably just lay flat against the back of the dozer, but I think it will attach.

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!

Just gotta wait for payday to order these two!

Do the happy dance!!

Looks like TFC went PE XScouting team with MadBlender! A cache of weapons is awesome! Perhaps I'm blind to the faults some people see in this in set because I am already invested, but I don't care, I want this set and it will be mine!

Honestly who cares if the hand intergrates ??? Is there really a need to have a folded purple hand hanging from the bulldozers a** ??? Just throw the hands in your parts box when not being used like G1 Devastator. Sheesh...

As far as the new figures, I like them but Im not crazy about the pistons on Bonecrushers shoulders since it is not that g1. But it isnt that bad, Ill get over it.

For me, Mixmaster is the biggest dissappointment of the 6. The "hood" behind his head with the 2 cannons looks kind of weird compared to G1. The shoulders are way too big. Also I prefer the barrel on his back, not split up into 8 pieces. I hope we get that option.

look again at the picture you bozo and this tie take a real good close look

see that pice slotted into the back thing behind the bulldozer?

that holds the large purple fist in place and im willing to bet good energon that piece can also fold up into the back of the vehicle mode to plug the fist into place jut right behind the control cab

Waiting for bbts, but glad they're just getting the other orders out there.

I like how Mad Blender's drum turns into a buttload of weapons. Neck Breaker is probably better than the pics give him credit for. If not well, lots of spread out sets have their weaker tag-alongs.

one thing that gets me about neckbreaker is the two feet mode. it shows that the legs bend when the shovels are removed - will the legs bend with the shovels attached?

Ooohhh, we have a hater! Where's the tie I need to take a close look at
Anyhow, sure the fist can probably be clipped behind the cab in alt mode, but I'm pretty sure it won't have such a nice snug place in robot mode. I really wish that for the cost, they would have gotten every part just perfect: integrated and good looking modes, which I just haven't seen in any of the currently released parts.
I'm pretty sure TFC was sweating bullets getting together this part of Hercules: it looks like an afterthought to the rest of his parts. Especially when compared to Mad Blender, which would be a nice TF even as a stand-alone, and is currently my favorite part (although I have high hopes for Hook as well).

I'd like to be able to take a good look at Neck Breaker in arm mode, BTW...

Well, preordered. Gimme my Devastator!

Can't believe they've got pre-orders for these two up already, and at BBTS as well. I will be getting these but will probably wait until after Christmas to place my order. I'll agree that Neckbreaker is probably the weakest of the bunch, but I think Transformers that transform into arms are always going to be the weakest ones as they have the most complex limbs to turn into.

S'all looking good. Just keep us informed of the fixes.

Can't wait to complete all of em.
Well...haters will hate.
