    This should tell you how tall Cogz is, he is about 2 mm shorter than Hench.

    Since I dropped out of the MW line, I will definitely be keeping my eyes on this one.

    I wish Maketoys would make some more minibots. I really want iGear's Gears, but not for $55. When I saw that someone else was making a Gears, I got excited, but I like the look AND price of this one even less than iGear's version.

    Only if you buy the set for 75.98. Igear doesn't offer them individually. Other retailers do at a premium.

    Yeah, this is for a much bigger Gears fan than I. I'm more than happy with Igear's cheaper, more toon-accurate minibot.

    No Gears for years and now two of them. What the hell?

    I imagine 2014 is when we'll get 3 different companies making a Trailbreaker.

    Hmmm, not as loyal to the G1 look as iGears upcoming MW version, but what's not to like about a Gears homage? Trigger officially pulled.

    Sometimes it's just nice to see a fresh coat of paint on an old concept, so I have zero problem that this one doesn't stay 100% faithful to the Gears motif. iGears version isn't a 100% nail on the head either. This one is just different enough to pique my interest.

    After looking at the proto images there just seems like there's so much arm and back kibble to it. Sort of half thought out. Again it's a prototype image, but there are better third party items out there that show far greater feats of engineering for a portion of the price.

    Oh so glad to see this. This is the first 3P item I have been able to pass on this year. I have no clue how I can cover everything I have. Glad I do not have to add to pile.
