    I wasn't gonna be the person to say it but I agree. It could of been done a few years ago but these third party companies have raised the bar so high I don't think it would be accepted. Plus we already have had a superion add on kit for crappy hasbro molds.

    after I saw the the clear hand paint gray mold pic,I've to say not-slingshot is very impressive.but it's still W.I.P,there are much things to tweak,especially head sculpt,TFC are not satisfied with the one in this W.I.P version.
    BTW:don't ask me for the clear pic.

    but you get an interweb point (news credit) if you post it.

    edit: Looks at your interweb points. Nevermind.

    Damn it. I can't find a clear pic of Uranus.

    Remember the warning peeps.

    Hades is pretty non-specific, as every Decepticon combiner is going to be Death personified.
    Although he's not a god, there is Typhon/Typhoeus, the literal "father of all monsters." TYPHOEUS : Monster, Storm Giant | Greek mythology, Typhon, w/ pictures. Chimera or Hydra could also work, and are obviously much more well-known than their father.

    If they were to use Athena for either Computron or Predaking I'd love them to actually earn the name by changing things up and redesigning some of the members as female. Itd be a nice update for Computron especially and help differentiate that team from the other scramble city folks.

    I partially agree with this. As fantastic as Hercules is he had his fair share of problems. The revised version of Neckbreaker had problems still which took me hours to fix.

    I hope TFC has better QC on this for the price I'd expect it now and they have some experience in combiners now too.

    If the blurry prototype and the silhouette is the same figure (which it looks like) then we're apparently getting Fireflight first -- the jet is an F4 Phantom, G1 Fireflights altmode.


    Looking forward to seeing better pics and information about the size. I hope the combined mode is the same size as Hercules. This would make the individual figures slightly bigger than those from hercules which would be perfect for me.

    Not sure if I'm going to go for the whole set, since combiners don't interest me that much and I never cared for Silverbolt's altmode.

    Really? A toy named after a god that just happens to have a tonne of toilet humour jokes is putting you off talking about it? I'd imagine most are looking forward to how it looks and aren't too fussed about its name.

    Each to their own I guess.......

    I'm well aware of the new blurry pic, but it seems surprising that most of the people in this thread were apparently unaware of the existence of this figure despite the multiple clear silhouettes posted weeks ago. Especially considering how much attention their Hercules project received.

    TFC should take a note from this--silhouettes don't get much attention from the fandom as a whole, but blurry pics sure do.

    That blur is definitely the wrong color. Let's all send an email to TFC saying we want a green blur.

    Ah, so this is what that was all about eh.

    Looks like it could be cool, but bring on Computron!
