    I'm interested if it works at MP scale. If not, I'll pass... combiner fatigue is real, LOL. Plus for CHUG scale, I want to see what Has/Tak has up its sleeve for Combiner Wars. I know the 3Ps might be better but not $500 better, LOL. Basically I've made my mind up that I'll only spend that much money on toys that go into my Masterpiece collection, with a few notable exceptions.

    I like how each mode for the bots appear to be very distinct. proto for the combined mode looks very tight with very little combiner kibble. Looks outstanding!

    I am torn. I know UT has been improving, but they are not on the same level as mmc quality wise. even with a mmc-like design, if the quality isn't there it will be a mess. mmc used really nice plastics and pom for strength in certain bits. will this have the same tolerances?
    I have the sharkticons from them, and they feel a bit flimsy and their bits like to fall off. but they are good otherwise. nothing has broken.
    salmore is waiting in my pol, so i can't comment on that. (not gonna get maniaking, as he is too small for my collection)

    I love the look of this. I WANT to buy it. may still preorder at bbts and wait for a review.
    does ut do box sets? cause I may wait on that, as it may bring the price down.
    $105, is alot for a limb. how much will hun-gurrr be? If he is also $105, and the limbs are absorbing the cost, than maybe it's ok, but we are in the dark about that right now.

    Also... one thing reeeealy bugs me about his combined form..... It looks like the arms are not part of the armbots!? it looks like the arm-monsters are tacked onto arms that are formed from hun-gurrr. now it may be just an illusion of it being uncolored, but it throws it off for me a bit. Like, I feel like i can see all of Rippersnapper pegged onto an arm, not Rippersnapper transformed into an arm... does that make sense?

    well, we'll see how things pan out. I hope this is amazing, as I want it, and I hope my worries are for naught.

    This looks sort of cool.

    I don't particularly like Abominus' upper legs (look too thin and narrow), but maybe a non stationary pose will ease current feeling about this set. I kind of like their take on Blot.

    yeaahh...hmmm....if you think Hasbro can create a good combiner based on CHUG scale, well based on their track record it won't be coming anytime soon. The only comparison pic I've seen so far is leg mode to Feral Rex's, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these Terrorcons will be the same height in bot mode as the Feral Rex members, or very close to it. That should answer whether these are "MP scaled" or not. Quite frankly, until an official announcement of a Takara Masterpiece combiner is released and shown, any official combiner product by HasTak can't even touch what these 3rd party companies are producing right now. My :2c:

    Abominus' arms are basically the alt modes of the arm bots with a bit of configuration. Don't know if there's parts-forming from pieces of Hung-grrr. I think what's bothering me more right now is how big Cutthroat's wings are and how they're just slapped onto the arm and covering Abominus' right shoulder area. Kinda unsightly and may hinder articulation.

    Engineering looks impressive, but my appetite for Decepticon combiners is exhausted after Devastator (Giant), Menasor (M3), Bruticus (Colossus), and Predaking (Feral Rex). Abominus and Piranacon were just too late to the game to get my interest.

    Hope they get a good response, but the source material isn't personally compelling, nor are Unique Toys yet the force that are Fansproject/Maketoys or MMC.

    Considering everybody's making the same combiners (and now Dinobots), I'd kill for someone to FINALLY tackle the Seacons.

    It's the one thing I told myself I'd open the wallet for from a 3P.

    So in a CHUG collection based on Orion and Hegemon, with classics cars, the hercules fellas and War lord as predaking - I assume these guys will fit nicely. In this scale, MT computron is ok to go against these? Probably a little too small but not far off

    That combined mode looks impressively sleek, I'll give them that. Troll looks to have a pretty nice transformation, too. I'm a bit concerned about those shoulder connections on the combined mode, but I'm sure it's just an unfinished design.

    Shame I have no interest in Abominus, but it does look cool. I'm happy for Abominus fans and Unique Toys for at least making aesthetic improvements.

    Keep in mind that Rex only had 4 unique molds when comparing prices. This project looks like it has 5 distinct molds. Although there might be some parts sharing, which Rex had as well.

    Like every other 3rd party combiner, it seems to have its goods and bads, the elbows are incredible, great job with that!

    Re:shoulder connection. That's my thought as well----I think it's actually very similar to Rex's, just the bottom is in shadow.
