    For clarification, toon accurate colors are lighter than the toy (which was darker purple)?

    I ask for those of us who might not know...

    $150 sounds extremely reasonable for a MP-sized figure.

    As for coloring, I just want the toy to look high-end.

    FT is back. WOOT! WOOT!

    MP sized, $150 shipped and from the company that got snubbed by trying to bring us a much needed MP and then forced an official one that wasn't coming out anytime soon. This is so bought for the merit of the project and because I want to support FT for who they are, who they potentially can be and for what they gave us.


    Cartoon colours please. There is no denying that this is for the MP line and the MP line is all about the cartoon so you have to go cartoon.
    [​IMG] I prefer the legs to be a very light grey versus a white.

    As for the Feb release, there is no way Takara can trump this now. I would plop down the $150 even if I knew I would get the official version (for more [how does that even work, greedy Takara]) a year from now. Support this and we get more MP's not only from FT but from other 3P groups that will jump on the wagon of successful 3P MP sales.

    The list of Classics that need to be made is much shorter than the list we already have made so 3P groups need to move in another direction. I am all for moving in to the MP direction.

    OH HELL YES. This can only mean one thing: Takratomy are almost certain going to release an official MP-Shockwave after MP-16. This has the same history written all over it--seeing as how this 'turd party' fan group's quest for an 'original' MP Soundwave got canned after their asses were royally handed to them and owned like a bitch by Takaratomy. OH YEAH.

    Wow, 150 shipped? I am so buying this! That is the perfect price and I am happy to pay it. Now I just have to figure out how my bank account is going to survive Feb considering all of the awesome (and expensive) stuff that is coming out then.

    You're mean.
    Hopefully you're going to be wrong, since lots of people would like to see this figure released.

    Yes it will be better designed and use better plastic than the Prime Beast Hunter toys.

    Looks good! I may have to save up and get this, depending on how it looks with MP Grimlock.

    Nice looking, I have zero interest in this at a Masterpiece scale though. If it was more Hegemon sized I might bite. Too expensive too

    It looks pretty bad. I guess they went the wrong direction when they decided to use a Dan Fogarea drawing as a reference. Proportions are bad, the leg desing is terrible - it was supposed to have some curves on it, but it's just a blocky chunk of plastic. The head looks funny, the chest is too fat, I could go on and on about the bad things of this one. Easy pass, will wait for the official one.

    I love the thicker legs... The chicken legs of the original toy did not look good...

    I'm still disappointed that their Soundwave was scrapped. I hope this one comes to fruition.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

    Keep going, I'm curious to see the rest of your list.

    And about the chest being too fat, it's actually not fat enough:
