    Been tossing up between getting FP M3 or waiting for Quantron.
    Glad I waited :]

    The original images with grey faced metroplex put me off slightly.
    I thought it was a design choice not a proto-type.
    Seeing him now with full paint apps and a silver face he's so much cooler!

    MangaMech series is going to be sweet too.
    I thought they would do a Tailgate/Windcharger dual set next.. glad they're doing something different though!

    I'm a huge MTMTE fan and a huge Maketoys fan... time to start saving.

    I'm especially digging the mini-Battle Sentinel (sold separately) shown with the mini-Utopia hologram....

    This is fantastic. Very impressive; slick and professional.

    All 3P companies need to do this.

    Looks like Computron has de-listed FB M3 on my 2014 wants now. Star saber looks sick too.
    I'm not sure of utopia as he looks a bit weird in bot mode (being picky here) but it could be the shot angle of the picture.

    well, I'm sold on quantron. my favorite combiner as a kid is getting a fantastic update.

    looks like each individual bot is amazing in their own right as well. going to be so much fun.

    Metroplex looks amazing, and those photos have bumped it up to my most anticipated 3rd Party figure this year.

    Whoever made that catalog really knows their graphic design. I'd love a printed version of it.

    I bet the make their new cab-robot as either SG Ultra Magnus or G2 Combat Hero (Blue) Optimus Prime version - as then it goes with the upgrade they have made already.... same with Shattered Glass Prime too.#


    -------

    As for the other items - I like the look of the Knight of Cybertron homage - but he seems very niche and he's going to be nightmarishly expensive. That might make other things look relatively cheap (I've always thought Giant was over priced by about 20% too).

    I like what they make but I have to rely on buying them under retail second hand as their set cost is often simply far to high... Fne if your used to paying crazy money if your a collector of very premium toys - but the Maketoys stuff is a little twee to be so rich in it's prices (a consequence of not being Chinese I guess).

    I'll buy what I can but They still trail a little behind MMC in my love stakes... but I don't mind stuff being a little twee sometimes it adds variety I guess and I do actually like both established 3rd part typical families of product scales.

    The Not-Technobots look really nice but I will no doubht have the mother and father or all paints justifying paying £300.00 or more for them when I look at them and I see 4 £35.00 robots and a £60.00 one making them seem £100.00 over priced to me at worse and knowing I can but entire TFC combiner for that it's a damn hard sell to me.
