    I'm still in for TFC. MT looks very...Generic to me (Look at all the years of Devastator kitbashes in Radicons for my meaning) now the individual bot modes may change my mind. either way I WILL be getting both Mixmasters.

    I'm all in for Hercules, and I also have encore devvy on preorder.

    If the price is right...I will be tempted to get the make-toys version

    I am currently keeping my preorder for Exgraver. I'm am certainly tempted to get both, but if they are about the same size, then I'll opt for the cheaper of the two. I really want Hercules to be bigger. If Hercules ends up being significantly bigger and Giant is significantly cheaper then I would consider both, especially if the introduction of Giant causes Hercules's price to come down some.

    DEFINITELY! In fact I'm getting 2 hercs + 1 Maketoys, at least that's the current plan.

    Spare Herc will probably be sold off once the sets are complete, but I want to cheat my way to being able to combine him early :)

    You keep bringing up kitbashes and Radicon customs. Giant is a mass produced toy, available (theoretically to those who can afford it anyway) to the masses. Can't really compare the two.

    The problem with kitbashes and customs is that no one else but that unique buyer/customizer will have them. At least with Giant (or Hercules, whichever floats your boat), more than one of us can get a crack at owning and enjoying them, unlike a custom.

    But if you're talking about aesthetics, well, can't argue with that. To each his own.

    Me, I'm going for MT's Giant. TFC lost me with their ridiculous pricing and secret squirrel marketing shenanigans.

    I would like to buy TFC's Not-Devastator, but $600 ouch. MakeToys will have to do, depending on it's price that is.

    Of the two I'm seriously leaning toward Maketoys version over Hercules as the combined mode IMO looks superior. I might end up picking up both... but that would take some serious budget management skills, skills that i don't really have heh.

    TFC only due to size.

    Nope. I'll just get Maketoys' one, if the pricing is right (i.e. not terribly more expensive than Fansproject's pricing).

    I'm in it whole hog for the TFC version. Just a lot more of what I want out of my Classics-verse Constructicons.

    MT's version intrigues me, though, and if it were considerably cheaper than the TFC version, I might buy it as well.

    But TFC's is top priority here.

    Tempted, but it's too early to be sure. MT's looks good but I need pricing info before I can make a decision.

    Nope, already canceled my Exgraver pre-order a couple weeks ago. Definitely more interested in the Maketoy version.

    I'm in the same boat, will probably cancel my MP-10 Pre-order and get both Maketoy and TFC Devas.
