Dr Wu DW-P04A Invulnerable Upgrade for TFC Hercules

Yeah... no? Am i the only one who likes the current Herc face?

This face has more defined lips and some panels on the side of the face. But I had to look at my own Herc and this side by side to see any difference. Buying this is kind of a waste since you can't tell any difference right off the bat.

I'm glad they're focusing on the important things like 50 different faces rather than silly things like that POS black blade on Neckbreaker...

PASS.

Crazy Devy won the battle.

how much crap are people gonna make for this thing?

It's riveted in. It's not as easy as unscrewing something. And, with the kind of plastic used on Herc, you'd probably break it completely if you even try to remove the black shovel.

Also, Heavy Labor's chest isn't purple either. If you must, just get a bit of paint and a tiny brush from a hobby store, it shouldn't set you back $10. Although, a little silver paint to Exgraver (and maybe Mad Blender) and you have a much more unifying theme.

People have taken them apart entirely to paint them properly and have successfully put them back together so it can be done. I would do that myself if I had any confidence in color matching and that the paint wouldn't scratch/rub/chip, but my customizing skills are minimal at best. And just the chest isn't good enough...I also want to get that black turd off Herc's shoulder as well as a purdy alt mode. Need that blade green! And if they want to do something creative to the chest side, great...I'd be happy w/ just green, though.

You don't suppose they've just been careful not to paint the wrong areas instead of taking it all apart? It's riveted in, man. Maybe if they've gotten very good at disassembling it I can believe it, but for regular joes it is not going to come off.

Which isn't to say it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to release a new shovel. But it'd have to come with new arms and at least a part of the legs as well, and it'd probably be greatly overpriced for such a small change and I can't see anyone but TFC actually releasing it because it'd probably have to come with arms and legs already attached.

Yes, I've seen the WIP pics of all the pieces taken apart as well as posts saying they took them apart to paint. And damn do they look good now!

I've scratched up a TF by trying to remove a rivet, so I'm still skeptical that a "fix" is even possible for the average TF fan. It sounds to me like you should just pay one of them to repaint it for you instead of waiting for a fix that'll probably never happen.

Dr. Wu....

I might get all the variant faces from Wu and glue them to the Metroplex eye, jam a bit of wire coat hanger in it and call it a Quintesson!!!

Laugh my fornicating arse off! That's beautiful mate. Well struck.

Hmm looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. So he'd be Hercules, the Devasnator?

Come now. Sure, he's really missing a few beats with these first releases, but look at how iGear started out. Hell, look at how TFC started out! Give it time, maybe he'll impress you.

I kinda like his Magnus face (the visor one).
