they all look....I don't know....too squat. I wish they were a bit leaner. taller. I get the feeling they are a bit out of proportion somehow. I love these characters, and was super excited when the G1 toys came out decades ago and have been hoping someone would give them the 3rd party treatment. I'm kinda disappointed so far. I hope someone else tries their hand at them.

Wait, I think I had this guy when I was a kid, possibly my last transformer I owned.
But didn't it have a spark wheel in its mouth????

 

It did. They all did.

 

I am curious about its tail
It seems like it is a rigid plastic? I wish it has crazy articulation like Planet X Vulcan.

 

These are awesome.

I just wish they were scaled smaller to the Classics line. However, being as they're Monster bots with no set scale, I may be able to call them correctly scaled to classics either way, and claim they're more of a bruiser class with my FansToys Dinobots which are roughly the same size.

Masterpiece scale is taking over everything including the stuff that still need their classic's take first. For the most part it has saved me a lot of money.

 

For me these FH Monsterbots are exactly what I am looking for,they are big and tough looking.Granted they aren't True Masterpiece Style with screen accuracy but then again these were never part of the US G1 Shows so for me it doesn't matter,these 3 Figures Honestly don't belong in either Masterpiece or Classic Lines they are a mix of both.That is why these will go into a category called CHUM or CHUMPS,which do you like better?,let me know.I wish all 3 would hurry up and go up for Preorder,not just Repugnus which is the only one.Later guys.

 

Pretty much how I feel about the blitz towards MP style

 

The frustrating thing is that Hasbro is releasing guys like these and the Headmasters as deluxes because they arent popular enough and many people think that is a good size for them, but no 3P company thinks carbot size is a good size for MP versions of them.

 

These characters would feel pretty odd in carbot size I think, especially with a fit and finish at this level, which issue I only mention because my impression is that most CHUG collectors like to display alongside the Hasbro mass-market stuff. Maybe that's only for a lack of other options? I confess I don't really understand collecting mass-market toys but I do hope that some 3P company starts addressing that sector of the fan base, because clearly you guys are out there and you aren't getting much thrown your way.

 

Like these I can roll with at MP Scale, just go with my own thought that the Monsterbots are that much bigger than most but like every other 3rd Party Bot outside of FP stuff *Which is why I still like FP myself* going either Legends or MP scale & no real inbetween is pretty whack for me.

 

poor doublecross. itching his crotch or buttplate or picking his nose must be hard work.

IMHO Monsterbots need to be even Larger than Dinobots, because Scary. XD

 

To say nothing of trying to shake his hand - no wonder the Monsterbots are so poorly socialized. I think Hun-Grrr got the better end of the stick on the whole "two-headed monster alt-mode" transformation thing.

 

What i meant was - not sure wether that came across right all of a sudden - that if someone made these characters at the size of an mp carbot they would be roughly voyager sized and people who want them at that size for their chug collection could use those mp carbot sized versions for the purpose.
That was a very roundabout explanation though, and i agree the diecast and finish would make them look out of place.

Maybe TFC can do the Headmasters and Monsterbots when they run out of combiners  

 

Yeah I know right. After all, we are talking about a dragon with two heads. The giant rabbit though, I guess that would take some imagination to picture one so large that towers over even the dinobots. Blame it on the original cartoon / toys for having such ridiculous scale concept.

 

Sorry to bump, but anyone know where I can preorder this guy? It was the only monsterbot I had and probably the last transformer I bought as a kid.

 

This is the one I am waiting for as well. The rest are pretty meh.

 

It's not available for preorder yet. My guess is that it would be available for preorder likely sometime in late May to early June. It's supposed to get released in July.

 

Fans hobby

 

That's a weird filter to use for those pics..lol.. Got Doublecross last night and cannot wait for this guy too!

 

This company is so damn quick. Already have Archenemy, Megatooth, and Feilong and its on to Flypro for July. Wish it would have been next. After that I just need that trailer for Scourge.
