    Thanks for that, feel free to not bother contributing anymore because guess what, we get it, you don't like MT or FP, we noticed that the first bajillion times you said it, now begone to foul this mega thread (yes people, I went there) no more.

    Anyhoo's, HOLY CHIZ! I'm not a massive fan of Computron, but this looks awesome! Strafe looks superb, so sleek and pointy. Scattorshot, thank goodness his cannon is on his back and not where it usually ends up! I do hope that it's able to detach and be held by Computron as a big ass plasma cannon. Lightspeed looks very nice and I like his name. Afterburner will be the cluncher for me, I hope they make him a type of two wheeled Tumbler with detailing to depict that he's equal in size to the others rather than an actual bike. Nosecone should be pretty solid. I think I'll be in for the box set on this one rather than early adoption like I did with Giant.

    Will this only be sold as a box set like giant or will we get chance at buying individual bots one at a time. I wanted giant but haven't quite been able to save for him with so much stuff coming out, plus I was late to third party game.

    Good start... Actually came up with names for them better than "Bulldozer" and "Dump Truck". Good sign..


    Now SG repaint PLEASE! We need a psychotic combiner to fight Safeguard Perseus!

    Unknown as yet, we're only just seeing concept sketches at this point, hopefully they'll be a box set option.

    I don't! I'm worried that the rest of the Meanysor crew are going to come out too soon for me as is :lol  I think we're looking at at least six months or so before we start even talking about release dates.

    I will be watching this closely. I actually want this for the bot forms to round out Jetfire's science team. For SCIENCE!

    Given how the Uranos bots are turning out, no thanks. More TFC for you all who like them.

    Wow, those new pics are amazing. I really hope these guys don't start coming out until I have finished my current combiners. Due to dwindling funds my "transformer" collecting hobby is about to become exclusively combiner collecting.

    Looks promising. I only had G1 Scattershot back in the 80s, but now I'll be able to complete the team.

    I hope these get released in G1 colors first, and I hope there are no big QC issues for early adopters (although MT has been good in the past about addressing these issues). I kinda felt burned by jumping on Yellow Giant early on, but was ultimately satisfied that I eventually got the Big Green.

    As for gift set vs. staggered release (limbs in pairs and lone torso with accessories?); I like the staggered release for monetary purposes, but the gift set box for GG is a thing of beauty.

    PS: Somebody with time/digibash skillz could add G1 colors to the line art for us...

    I'm glad we're starting to get concept art now. With this and the Fallen coming out, I'm really excited to see how MT has grown since they released Giant. I didn't have any issues with Giant itself, but I feel several of the individual bots had some flaws that a little more experience could get rid of. At the very least, I'd like each of Computron's bots to have actual feet.

    If my financial situation can support it, and assuming a 'better' Computron doesn't come along, I'm in.
