I can't wait to see some official images of these guys. Did they clarify whether or not this particular figure will be available after the deadline in some way? I see a future bananza on ebay if that's not the case.

 

No, shorter than Steelcore, the overall size is smaller than Steelcore. Think of it like the Roadblock vs Snake Eyes sizing difference.

No and No.

 

Okay, so Shapeways will have to make an adapter for heads to fit on!

 

Thanks Yo. I don't mind a more slender bot, it is the height I am concerned about. You make them sound tall enough for me to stay on board. Like it really takes much for me to support FP. LoL

 

I think that is a mistake having these new HM bodies only work for their FP HMs. I am sure some other 3rd party will make an adapter, but still. Seems like a missed opportunity if that's the case.

 

What's missed? FP making it so other can prosper off it? It's already being done to hastak I doubt a small company wants it done to them.

 

I was more referring to the original heads.....

 

Would have been a neat bonus if they were compatible, but I like that FP is making it their own thing. I think they have more freedom of design and creativity that way.

 

if that was the height without the head i will be very happy. that is a perfect size for me.

if that is the height at the head the bot would only be about the size of grindrod, smaller than the average classic and dwarfed by mp stuff like sideswipe. not my preferance...

i love the size TW has for Hardhead. i was hoping this would mix with that line. we'll just have to wait and see when they release pics...

 

Making things compatible only draws in consumers... if people have other headmaster crap that's compatible with the new FP stuff, they might bite if they weren't already interested.

I just don't know... I pray this doesn't end up looking like a bobblehead. I trust FP and all... but imagining a head smaller than Steelcore's (or Protector's, or Defender's) that turns into an individual bot doesn't really seem feasible.

5.5 inches is Protector decapitated... hoping that measurement doesn't include the head... but it'd be silly if it didn't.

 

I don't really have to speculate on how big the headmasters will be from FP, targetmaster partner firebolt fits in the trailer for protector, heartmaster steelcore fits in the cab , they will 99% sure make the partners fit inside car, jet, ect. pretty much ensuring they will be pretty big

 

Firebolt fits in the protector trailer? In vehicle mode?

 

i think someone showed it fit in where the head goes, but not entirely sure

 

here you go!! this is mine, he folds in with no problem, just keep him in gun mode.

 

Oh hey, look at that. Thanks! I'd found a way to fold/tuck him under rodimus in vehicle mode but it was tight and risked breaking/stressing the figure.

 

no problem  

 

BBTS has preorders up again for the moment. someone canceled there preorder. Just thought I would let everyone know.

 

I take the Rodimus head out and drop it into the chest hole. Then fold Sidearm halfway and put him in the hole. He stays in place and gives the trailer a weapon.

 

Thanks to you both, I have been wanting something like this for a while.

 

It appears that UC will receive their shipment on 12/27: ¥¢¥Ã¥×¥°¥ì¡¼¥É¥³¥Þ¥ó¥À¡¼. So, hopefully US e-tailers will be getting theirs soon.
