    And cheaper too. Fanstoys has the sleek G1 body design down packed though. Their bot modes remind me of the comics. G1 or gtfo!!

    I'm glad I decided to go with these guys instead of Badcube.

    Badcube was never an option. Those guys are too wide for me. I was going to buy everything fanstoys make but no reflector or perceptor for me.

    They do? Looks about the same to me. Fanstoys just looks better all around

    I'm sticking with FT on this. Badcubes toys seem very pudgy to me. Like they ate too many pies.

    i would get this if they could fix the face. badcube's face is slightly better (not much) but their bots are way too squat and compact.
    for the moment, neither.

    Excellent! I love the options for insect feet and chest covers.

    The side by side comparison is good to have. Badcube's looks a little too toonish to me in spots. The feet are accurate but look sort of silly on a real toy. The BC shoulder looks especially bad by comparison in both modes. It does have a more emotive, but not really better, face.

    Now let's see Kickback!

    Oooooooh....I see a pattern, last week FT-08 (Sludge), this week FT-13(Shrapnel) and next week FT-10 (Skyfire):D 

    Awesome, I'm stoked, my favorite insecticon, glad I held out for the FT version, I think badcube's face is just marginally better but not enough to compensate for where the FT version outshines it, proportions wise, aesthetics, materials that will probably be used, chrome and die-cast, more likely than the dull grey Badcube have gone with!

    Good work, FT!
