    HELLS YEAH!!!

    That Gears. Mine. NOW already. Yesterday!

    I don't even care if he doesn't have that many paint apps in the final version...he looks fantastic. :D  The height thing seems to be working out nicely too, at least in terms of them all being in scale with each other. I'm not that interested in Outback, but I'm considering Swerve and Beachcomber.

    No, the design was put in to accommodate the toy and animation faces for Cogz and Hench, and the gimmick was carried over to give a battle mask feature to Veer and Bushwhacker.
    Which is great, not needed, but lot's of fun.

    Gears looks phenominal (outside of the apparent lack of outward shoulder motion...but come on the dude doesn't strike me as the spry type anyway...), I need a preorder ASAP. Beachcomber looks much better painted up! The legs look much better. I almost wish he was a LUITTLE smaller in robot mode but I'm not complaining in the least because ANYTHING is better than legends size.

    Swerve and Outback are coming along nicely...really looking forward to all the Mini Warriors! (and of course I have to insert my :horse:  plea to iGear to upsize Rager and Spray into a better size class)

    I expect to see Powerglide, Windcharger, Tailgate and Wheelie, but given the release schedule for next year I don't know when we'll see them. Igear has a lot planned and designed which haven't been announced yet.
    Throttlebots? I think we'll see them :)

    The toys themselves don't, but iGear is giving the option to have them displayed with the G1 Toy face and/or Comic/Cartoon face.

    Indeed :thumbs2:  I can't wait to get Gears, and I wish they could upscale Huffer to this scale as well.

    God I hope after they do all the minibots they go onto the Throttlebots

    If they do them at this price point and cartoon accurate then Ill be all over those too.

    The TW ones are way out of my price range and are too much of a departure from the cartoon / original toys ( roll bar is good though as far as cartoon accurate goes )

    I hope to see all of those done too, with the quality, price point and cartoon accuracy, these are just too great to pass on and are the first 3rd party stuff I have ever bought

    Why are you concerned if Igear makes them? Is it do to aesthetic or price? I always encourage companies to make renditions because the more choices the better.

    Maketoy along Igear both made a Sea-spray. I'm so glad that happened because some of us hated or loved one over the other.

    I'd be psyched about Cogzzzzzzz if it was the same price/size that Rager was. I quite liked him, and thought that $20 was about right. I would've checked out notBrawn, as well, if it was cheaper/smaller.

    Guess bigger isn't always better.

    I am happy! I like the way these turned out. As a kid I was always drawn to G1 Gears. On of my favorite minis, and I loved that G1 Beachcomber had rubber tires even though the figure was so small. Love the flower in the barrel on the new figure. Beachcomber is such a hippie. LOL!

    What's good

    I dont know if you collect anything other that transformers but if you do, how many of the same item do you own. For example, I have countless Spidermans, ctfu. Going way back to ToyBiz, Marvel Select, Legends, Universe and etc.

    I guess I'm saying why not buy it again, especially if it's possibly more awesome.
