At the bottom of pg 25 of this thread I have just Takara and PX kickback.

I don't have one , but from pics looks like Hasbro kickback would match better it's purple and gold
The Takara kickback has a yellow green

Pics don't do the gold on the PX guys justice
It's soooo deep and rich

 

Damn it. Friggin have to wait till PE's TM2 Megs drops in my Prime stack with TCP to ship out this bad boys.

You all are NOT helping out with my anxiety  

 

I'm a kickback guy, because that was the insecticon I had as a kid

But dam, I don't know what it is but I think I love this duck-lipped bastard the most!

 

My set is waiting at home!!!

 

The FOC Sharpshot/Shrapnel design is one of my favorite transformer designs

 

Got my set yesterday night. Not too impressed. Shoulders have extremely limited articulation. Heck these guys should be bigger. I don't care if it does not scale with the game or what have you.

Also Bombshell does not hold his weapons well. I mean like WTF.

 

Such is the price of articulated hands, or the limitations on this as it is. I did try putting those "weapons" on his back, but it doesn't stay on for very long. I'm just glad that we've got some antagonists for the Dinobots to chew on for a while, but I'll be looking forward to Shockwave to truly complete the menace that are the Insecticons plus the "Master", whenever Planet X decides to get around to him.

 

We need more pictures people

 

emgo posted videos , he does show Hasbro kickback with the other 2

 

So far he’s the only one to show the hasbro kickback with the Planet X trio.

 

The... the Takara is... BETTER???

 

? Why are you surprised

 

Hmm EmGo's review thankfully confirmed something about PX's kickback - the fig's insect mode isn't static (i.e. it can pose in different positions and flexible enough to fiddle around with vs. just have a strict, "must adhere to this pose only" mode).

If it is, I'll be thoroughly surprised. As much as I liked the deco on Tak FoC Kickback, I disliked the figure overall as it seemed to have too many flaws. So IF Tak's is better that either means PX's Kickback is that horrible, or there is some other factor I am not accounting.

 

I've had the hasbro kickback for years and I know from the reviews that the official is a better kickback. Planet X has a better bug head, but the official is better articulated, and has a bug mode that looks way better than the planet x one.

 

I don't think so,

I've had these guys a week I like them a lot
But something felt missing or lacking
It's not size or weapons, or even wrist swivel
I just figured out, if these came with display stands I would be so much more into them
They have ports for insect mode and on the back for robot mode

 

I have all four and Iron Factory Warpath hands down beats the bugs in pretty much everything. Fun, articulation, etc.

 

I too had Tak's FoC Kickback days after its release. I will still withhold my personal opinion for when I have PX's version in my hands, but I can attest that I was not happy with Tak's rendition of Kickback and practically any of their FoC figs. The instant I heard PX was releasing the Insecticons, I immediately sold my Tak version.

The reviews have granted many insight regarding the PX bugs, but I still do not feel Tak's is better.

 

the legs on the official kickback make it better.

 

Finally got around to some pics
