Third party group Fans Toys, well known for their independent figures designed to fit right in with the Transformers Masterpiece toy line, has just revealed yet another entry in their high end line of these figures, this time being Spotter. Spotter is based on the G1 character Reflector and is comprised of three individual robots each standing just under seven inches tall.
TFW2005 friend and site sponsor TFsource provided preorder information, which currently is on an early bird special of $144.95 and slated to release in September 2015.

Yeah back in those days FT faces were not very good

To be fair, they said the same thing about the Insecticons, and we got a reissue not too long ago.

Think i've read the mold has degraded or is damaged, so another run wouldnt happen, they'd have to do 2.0, you but never know – spotter is one of my missing items!

Reissue would be great but the faces need to be fixed first

I read somewhere that there were rumors of a Spotter reissue in 2024. I can’t remember where I saw that rumor, but I’d love for it to come true too. I also would love Jabber to come back, but I haven’t seen anything mentioned to support a reissue is coming yet.

I would love to see Reflector/Spotter rereleased and Blur/Jabber.
Hopeful that you agree with me and even more hopeful that someone from FT sees this.

That's a wonderful idea for a display that makes me wish I'd thought of something equally creative.
Then again, I don't have a glass fronted display case. Or, more importantly, 300 odd quid to spend on Spotter…

Yes I saw that, but I meant like if anyone had a physical card made. I found an ebay listing and the figure had a actual plastic bio card with it. It was definitely the design you made but I'm trying to figure out who actually had them made into real cards. View attachment 30230408

Hope this is of help. It's one I made a few years ago. Regards

Did anyone have a bio card actually made up? I just got a spotter figure from ebay but I noticed on another auction someone actually had a physical card in the box.
Did someone have some printed? I'm tying to track one downView attachment 30230249 View attachment 30230250

And Bobby Skullface says glass display cases don't work.

I might just buy a 2 feet tall Newage Devastator.

MS Optimus oversized to MP scale doesn't work as well as many hoped. I love their Devy, and it just looks and feels great at that size.
Oversizing it alone is not the way IMO. You have to add more flavor to it to make it "MP". Their Legends Optimus is simply amazing. It is perfection (for that size).

I don’t have a large legends collection but I have and can vouch for the newage reflector, it’s among the finest of the legends I currently own.

In a perfect world,MS and NA would make both Legends and MP scale bots. Both companies checks my boxes for the Aesthetics which is my most important criteria when buying a figure nowadays. Really wish MS would do their Megs in MP.

I can't deny that Spotter is a little dated now but they also have a ton of personality! I have one in a drop to your knees and scream at the sky pose, one on a ladder with a tiny sponge cleaning the inside of the glass door and one cleaning up energon with a push broom! They have the articulation to pull off all those poses and more and for bots doing menial labor they look so happy about it! They always make me smile!
Hoffman
I don't really consider the Perfection Series Ocular Max, even they've chosen to brand it that way. It doesn't match aesthetically or conceptually with the figures they did before under OM.
edgecrusher
Yes, that's via the Remix line though. I think they've kept that separate?
Also, it's only been like 65 million3-4 years in the making…

They've also just released their Steeljaw.
