    Seeing these comparisons..I definitely like this is one a lot better than xtransbots.

    Haven't seen a single picture that suggests one.

    Unless I missed something, I'm guessing not.

    That's my biggest fear ... If that's the case, I'm going to pass! If I am going to "upgrade" Quietus has to be a lot better than Eligos...

    What Quietus does better is the aesthetics and maybe the QC is going to be better as well, nothing else I am afraid...

    Fortunately my retailer always lets me have one copy in hand to evaluate the quality and the articulation.

    The same happened to me with Sovereign!

    While waist swivel would be great, it's by no means a deal breaker for me.

    For me it is (for now )... My figures are always in action poses in my "display closet"... I can live without abs crunch, wrist tilt, or even some head articulation sometimes, but the basic movements have to be there. That's was a major flaw on Phoenix If I recall correctly.

    If he has at least the same level of waist swivel as Peru Kill, then I will change my mind!

    This teaser pic was posted on Facebook today by a designer whose FB name is Arturo Milomir. He posted it on Third Party Unlimited's Facebook page in response their repost (today 4/16/2018) of Fanstoys' Weibo page pic of the Sunbow scale chart featuring Scourge. I take both the chart and this teaser pic as a hint at a possible upcoming FT Scourge. I would have posted this in the FT Scourge thread but one of the mods locked the thread 7 months ago. Maybe @Superquad7 , @optimusfan , or @Sentinel can help open up the thread so this can be posted there.

    Are you saying you thought French would be more romantic to girls than Spanish? Pfft.

    Background and filter looks just like that allegedly official cyclonus picture that was floating around the mp speculation thread. Though to me that looked a lot like Fanstoys cyclonus to begin with.

    Nope, no value call on the level of romance in a language. I'm saying that everyone and their mom took Spanish, but (at least at my high school in the '90s) German was almost exclusively taken by boys and French was almost exclusively taken by girls. Switching to French had me as one of three total guys in a class with probably 20 girls. Those were good odds!

    I think Phoenix did have a waist swivel? It was minor and required the cockpit to be slightly unplugged but I think it was there. This? I have no idea but seems unlikely .

    Yes you have to unplug something to gain a bit of swivel... In this case the folding of the jet parts are hindering the waist movement.

    This is going to come out because I just got my Andras this week. Andras is already short so going by how short Fanstoys Galvatron and Cyclonus are then this guy here will be fucking carbot sized
