    i noticed in some pics the panel linings are pink and in others their green :confused:  much prefer the pink ones since they do help breakout some of the colors. Regardless, this guy will be bought and proudly displayed on the MP shelf fighting mp10 optimus

    Thanks for the great reviews.

    Now I'm seriously considering getting this.
    It's just my budget, though...

    Also, he general quality of Hexatron ismaking me more anticipate the Feral Rex figures.

    I have a couple of questions:

    1 - In robot mode, is there somewhere on the body to 'holster' or stow the rifles when they're not in hand/

    2 - Likewise, if the sword sheaths are being used as extra guns in the alt modes, is there anywhere on those modes to stow those swords, or are just put aside?

    Once again, thanks.

    The wolf neck, the guns in tank mode and the sheaths in a few modes, mainly the jet. The ankles looked a little loose too. I'm sure they'll tighten those up. It is only a prototype after all.

    So when you remove the helmet of Terminus Hexatron at the end of the video it had this human-like head and face. So my question is what is that suppose to represent? But all and all like the proverbial broken record that I am, you did an awesome job reviewing this figure. Even though it was a prototype.

    It looks like the other releases of this mold will have different helmets. I'm curious whether the helmet will be removable on the final version or if it will be glued down. The head looks really small without it so I'm guessing it is just the universal face and each will have a different helmets to distinguish each of them.

    I had been contemplating whether to keep my pre order or not. Even though I've only watched the first few parts, I'm definitely keeping my pre order now.

    Yea dude. I was trying some different colors to see what people though, but forgot I did and never asked for opinions. My bad.

    - There are pegs on the wings.

    - Yes, they can slide into the wings.

    I gotcha, and yep!

    IPHDTD answered this pretty well.

    Hey thank you man! I can't wait to get the retail ver. myself!

    Nice!

    I believe it is molded this way for the future repaint/retool of Great Shot and Shadow Maru, which used the sixshot mold back then too. They will have open faces with new helmets, so this is pretty cool to see that YES, they are definitely going to do it. Bring on da Brave!

    The official photography with actual coloring will be released within days. Please be patient. I understand the want to see, but it's going to be soon and I'd rather not spoil.

    I already ordered Quakewave. Waiting on the final color scheme to decide on this guy. TJ said the reveal was imminent but I have a feeling they're going to wait until San Jose now.

    TJ how does the quality and thickness of the plastic compare to say qaukwave and which is a bigger bang for your buck?

    I think the plastic is about even, quality wise. HEx has more of a glassy finish, though. Quakewave is more overall DENSE because he doesn't have as many panels and limbs that fold into each other. Bang for buck: It honestly depends on your preference, but for the size, modes, and accessories I'll say Hex.

    Also, the official colors have been released:
