Mastermind Creations Tiderider and Scubak

Pumped! Loving what MMC is doing. They're poised to be a quick match to Fansproject if they keep it up.

There's two actually.

They want people to vote for the one they like.

I liked both because I really do want both of them. Hope mmc doesn't frown on that lol.

Hell yeah!! They be listening to there fans!! I voted for the glass black so I can have some Demon Subs in my THUGFORMERS cases!! Damn thats dope! Big Ups to MMC!! Keep it up yall!

looks cool and a nice classics Deep Dive

I like the black one the most.

Masterforce Blood & Diver homages, perhaps?

Cool! Will definately be keeping an eye on these!

I think Mastermind are asking us to vote between Pretender Waverider and Masterforce Diver.
Waverider - Transformers Wiki
Diver (Masterforce) - Transformers Wiki

Robot-wise Diver & Waverider are the same guy. Aside from packaging & shell hair color, the American and Japanese toys are identical.

Nice, glad they're offering these guys for individual sale after all. Guess they're taking a page from iGear and their Mini Warriors line.

That said, I dig the black one the most. And the name, Scubak. It's so dopey it just works. XD

The black one gives a inner-octopunch vibe I dig it !

yeah I liked both as well. Wouldn't mind a small army of these and other colors in front of my Cyclops.

Yep, that was my initial thought as well (or Bomb-Burst and Waverider if you feel very american).

$25 is a little steep for a third party Legends size recolor. If it has free shipping I'm in.

Really don't see Bombburst in Tiderider. Both look like Waverider, just that one is blue and one is black.

Voted for Tiderider, but would be happy with either. Both should be released however.

Since MMC are setting up their own webstore, it makes me wonder what else will be for direct sale there. Hopefully Hexatron, the seekers and the Incect-o-con train become available on their upcoming site.

I like Tiderider better than Scubak.

I like them both.

Can they make it in yellow with the name Jacqueline tampoed on the side, then stricken out and DEEP SEARCH tampoed under that?

I love the new chest and head. Honestly not bothered which deco they go with, it'll be bought regardless. Just hope they tweak the shoulders too. Needs more posability to be absolutely perfect!

these will both be bought soooooo hard.

Nice. At least one of those I will end up owning

Blue one is sexy! Dunno if I will get it though.

I like the blue one.

I voted for Scubak as I just love dark figures.But what's got me is when can you preorder these,I really want them but MMC isn't up yet at the link posted in the first post,is the website up yet,if so can someone point me to it.Thanks.

I vote for a mini Shackwave.

I'll take both, and any other HOS tfs they do.

I'd say black --- but is this saying they are not doing a black repaint of Big Cyclops?

I apologize for the zombie thread, but I was thinking about various projects that have gone dark and I remembered this one. The significance wasn't so much Scubak and Tiderrider, but more so the fact that they were working on a direct store. I wouldn't be surprised if this pair is a casualty of changing gears to other projects; but does anyone have any word on whether the subs or their direct store are still coming down the pipe? I'd definitely still be down for picking up a Scubak if they are.

Just seems to be yet another item on a long list of teased stuff from MMC that's still in the pending tray......meaning it's fallen by the way.

Reminds me of a Pretender figure I had

Fanswho?

This thing looks awesome! I assume it is an original, don't recognize it as any character I think I should know

EDIT:

3" tall and is $25? How tall are Fansprojects Stunticons?

quite a bit taller and a lot more complex.

also - considering how well the tfsource exclusive sold and how many other things MMC has on their plate right now this may be on the backest of burners.

I would chalk that up to their $40 price tag on it, if that sold for $25 like these were quoted I think it would have sold far better. Well, that and it was a release that fell in a niche inside another niche. The sub pair was slated to be their inaugural release into the Reformatted 'verse in Q4 of 2012 though. Given their tendency to include fiction with every release I'm willing to bet there's a comic(s) already done for these. I wonder why there hasn't been any comic teases on the Reformatted releases like there was for the Knight Morpher line.

It's a Pretender Waverider homage; the inner robot, not the shell.

Assuming they got their own store or site, how would that effect the prices of their items. Or would it about remain the same?

I'm not sure, I'd imagine it's a problematic thing to implement without pissing off retailers. Why would they order stock from MMC if they're going to be undercut on price though MMC's own store? It's a delicate relationship to manage with retailers, if they do offer general release items they will have to stay at MSRP; so they may largely offer exclusives only. Perhaps the store launch is the real reason for the delay on these.

Easy pass..

Not for me; I've been wanting to get this lil guy since he first showed up with his big brother. Just wasn't interested in buying that huge beast just to get his tiny 'lil twin! So come on Mastermind peeps, get this out already!

I agree. LOVE this little design and would purchase a fleet of these in different color schemes. But don't go overboard. *LOL*

so…these guys are up for preorder.

$33 each or $52 together KM-03S/T SCUBA & TIDERIDER 2 PACK - Planet Steel Express

How have I not heard about these before today?!?



Both look awesome and it looks like I need to save even more money now. *sigh*

Is planet steel gonna be a permanent provider of mmc stuff? Cuz aren't try seeing the special Hexatron figure also?

i can tell you i like the other 2 colours of this guy - fun to fiddle with too.

Too bad they went from $25 (according to the pics on page 1) to $33 apiece. Still, these may be cool enough to get both at $52, so that's only $2 more than originally projected if I buy both. Hopefully I can get some money together to pick them up because they look really cool.
