I have 2 on pre-order... I think this is pretty awesome. I noticed he was having issues with getting him to attach to the shoulder, not a worry for me as I plan to get him strictly to display as a new Rumble/Frenzy figure with the pile-drivers attatched... Here's hoping for more colors of this sweet figure!

Never do this "FIRST" crap again.

Warnings will start to flow for that junk.

...seriously? Nothing to contribute, a "lolimfirst" comment, and a bunch of smilies?

I must be getting old. My first thought after reading the title of the news story was, "Why is a Transformers site making a news post about a game that's more than 10 years old?"

Seriously Perfect Effect, you couldn't find a factory that could manufacture the peg to fit in Shadow Commander's shoulder? You market him as a shoulder cannon add on but can't get that right? Cool figure but no excuse for this. Fansproject would have gotten this right.

If Perfect Effect is going to remain a player, they need to get these quality issues behind them, quickly too.

This guy looks amazing. The photoshopped pictures didn't do him justice. I am a little disappointed that he doesn't peg in to the city commander mold very well but i still want him. Now the question is.. Do i buy him now, or wait for the repaints..? :-?

So far the Shadow Warrior looks better as a stand alone figure than as an "add-on".

If I can't convince myself to buy a figure (and I'm fantastic at that), what hope does this company have?
Re: PE-01 Shadow Warrior Video Review (1047773)
Posted by Midnight_Fox on February 16th, 2010 @ 4:44pm CST
I'll most likely get one(or two of these) in addition to the Shadow Commander set this summer.

Or at the earliest, late Spring. Some time after Adepticon, anyway...

Would be nice to see a red and blue version as Rumble and Frenzy. i really could care less about the "shadow commander". But maybe if the price is right Ill pick pne up at Botcon. How much...$100 bucks I bet ???

It's not because you're old, it's because you're a humongous nerd. NERD!

I thought the exact same thing. You either piss with the big dogs, or go back to the pound.

About the same chance a bottle of tequila has at Kenny Rogers house.

Now, as FR can attest I think his customs are the best out there bar none. If you haven't seen his recent Hardhead w/ Duros you're missing out. I have no doubt that FR will take these out of place figures and make them work. Personally I don't like the dark colors.

I wonder what other figures Perfect Effect are going to try and do?

I saw some I hadn't seen before, like the Stunticon homage and the white repaint of the Red Bull truck.

Dammit FR!
YOU BEAT ME TO THE VIDEO REVIEW!
Ah oh well, this thing is awesome, a great update on the R/F character, and the shoulder thing is easy to fix.
Re: PE-01 Shadow Warrior Video Review (1047822)
Posted by El Duque on February 16th, 2010 @ 6:31pm CST
I've got two on the way from bbts. Figured I might as well get two that way Shadow Commander can have both shoulder cannons (provided they will attach properly!) or I can repaint them into Rumble and Frenzy (provided PE doesn't do a run in their colors).

Posted by Mindmaster on February 16th, 2010 @ 7:39pm CST
When I first got news of this, I was kinda scetchy. Sure, I wanted a better Rumble (Who is, by the way, blue), but I wasn't so sure about this guy. But when I saw the review, my mind was set. I have high expectations for this guy when I get him in a month or so. I'd get it soon, but I'm broke right now :BANG_HEAD: . Other than that, awesome figure! :APPLAUSE:

Ok, if you want a super sheap one, go to Bigbadtoystore and buy it for about 30-40$. Use the rest of the 70$ to buy yourself a Masterpiece Skywarp from Wal-Mart :lol:

Looks interesting. I don't own Shadow Commander, so it not being a good fit means little. Music Label Soundwave, Ravage and Auto-Scotu need company.

Is it just me or was video kinda shit? The picture was really jumpy.

I just got an e-mail from BBTS saying my pre-order in. I was even thinking of getting a second one so my Shadow Commander could have 2 shoulder cannons, not to mention 2 little minion/drone guys, but now I'm thinking of removing him from my PoL and taking store credit. Maybe when they get around to actually coloring him like Rumble and Frenzy they'll fix the peg problem, but until then pass.

how to fit the sholder peg! its easy super glu the peg cover it let it dry and then shove it in the hole its an old trick . you can use it on loose ball joints as well. patients is the key. when it drys it add that milimeter of coverage you need for proper fitting. PROMISE!

Already got MP skywarp for $60 when it first hit the stores. Honestly I would love to buy online but right now I can only get what cold cash allows. This will be my first Botcon so Im hoping to pick up all the figures I see from these 3rd party sites.

Not to get off topic but does anyone know why the fans project posts their Bruticus Maximus sets as white in color ??? Are those prototype photos or are they trying to market them to collectors who like to paint models ???

Rated X,
The fansproject TF Crossfire 02 (Bruticus) pics are of the unpainted prototype.
Once the figure is released, it will be painted. The Shadow Warrior from Perfect Effect should be coming out in other colors as well. I read that there are going to be 3 different releases for this mold.

looks good to me, Shadow Commander with beefy shoulder cannon minions shall be mine. On a totally unrelated topic, the links to different fansites at the bottom of the page, all of them except gicobra.com take me to the Seibertron.com homepage, was wondering if it was just my setup or if there's a redirection issue with the links.
EDIT: even if I tried typing in machinerobo.com in my browser to check it out, I got redirected to Seibertron.

Touche, my friend, as I too also have my own Masterpiece Skywarp! Got it for Christmas too, to top it all off :lol: , but unfortunately, I accidentally broke off his left wing. I was trying to pull the wing up off the back piece when it snapped. No worries, it's all repaired, but I have to be careful around that wing now, as all I did to fix it was put it back in, because one of the arcs (as I call them) is still on there, the other one snapped :BANG_HEAD: .

I'm with you dude, and what's worse is that not only do I not own the Commander mol, but I don't even own a Classics Optimus Prime mold, which sucks for me :lol: . I've seen pics that in gun mode, Shadpw Warroir can be held by other figures. Is this true? If so, hah, I can imagine Classics Bumblebee struggling to hold Shadow Warrior... :lol: :lol: :lol:
