Slagacon Convention Exclusive Vector Zeta Renders

ok....It looks like someone punched OP In the face and it swelled up and turned into a lego brick....

The head reminds me of Armada Jetfire and i hate that figure so i'm not interested in getting this one.

It has occurred to me that eventually someone somewhere is going to do a proper Powermaster Prime upgrade, so I'm going to wait for that.

We asked the same thing about TFCC Punch/Counterpunch, didn't stop anyone

And yeah, that face looks like beginners work. If this is any indication of what the final set will look like then I'm glad I'm not bothering with it.

well, at least with Punch/Counterpunch the normal Sunstreaker and Sideswipe toys were out there, all it was was a repaint and new head, so there was a fairly decent idea of what he'd look like.

I own every version of the PMOP mold. G1, US reissue (multiple changes to the US mold), Fire Guts God Ginrai and Nucleon Quest Convoy. I'm still pretty desperate for a Classics version. Although I don't think I'm this desperate.

Pass. I'm still hoping FP or someone will get around to doing a proper PM Prime version. DIA Commander is the closest I've got so far, but it's not the same aesthetic.

I am still trying to figure out what the heck the finished product will be and what figure/series it goes with.

No sir, don't like it.

Seriously, looking at the initial pics that came out a bit ago, then these same-level 'renders', it looks as though this is some first attempt by a total novice in his bedroom in his spare time. This is the kind of thing you'd find one of on ebay because the guy that slapped it together is attempting to get cash off of a very first try at a custom. CERTAINLY no where NEAR worth the pricetag, especially when compared to entire new and quality figures coming from third parties.

F'real, if you're reading this post and actually dropped cash on this item; You have my sympathy. There's third party folks out there designing perfectly new & kickass figures, after all.

WORD to this. Was hoping that Heartmaster would do the trick, but nah, though its still cool.

The renders for this figure looked horrible so i decided to try to google more pictures of him since i already pre-ordered one. Well luck would have it that i found a couple of pictures of vector zeta on the artist's deviant art page.
