    Words fail me... WHAT is the reason to remake a toy exactly like the existing one? IT literally looks worse, because it is missing the removable drone. If they at least made it a pretender, I'd understand, but... just why? Who would buy something like this, when you can get the real Sky Shadow/Black Shadow for half this price?

    Their single pack releases have been 24 for Windblade, 40 for Overlord, 55 for Ultra Magnus (who in addition to being the biggest came with a ton of the extra accessories theiy like to include), and 42 for Blitzwing.

    I would guess if Black Shadow releases as a single he probably will be a barebones release without all the extra guns like Blitzwing or Overlord, but he's smaller and has a simpler transformation to deal with so probably a little cheaper than them. Maybe like $36?

    It has better articulation (wrist swivels, ankle tilts, balljoint head), for my taste WAY better sculpting and proportions, the colors are nicer, and most importantly it's in a completely different scale lol. It's obviously based on an existing figure, yeah, but they're not interchangeable at all unless you just want any Black Shadow figure of any size in a vacuum to not interact with your other figures.

    Please don't feed the troll. He comes from the official section because he notices the much larger numbers here and is tired of how slowly the other boards get updated.

    I have absolutely no idea why he would even shuffle over here when he knows we're obviously fans of 3P and/or non-hollow pieces of shit; therefore we'll more than likely defend said figure that he is bashing on a bias.

    BB Shockwave - I'm not 12 so I'm not going to put you on ignore; but implore you to get a day job or at least scuttle back to where you came from so you can spend your time with the likes of dannyboy. You two would get along nicely.

    And isn't it a shame they didn't.

    We can hope so next time.

    Can't wait! Looks gorgeous! I debated picking up the Generations one, but it just didn't do it for me!

    Probably in and around £20 i think, maybe shy of 30 as a start price.

    That's one of the most insignia-unfriendly 3P designs I've ever seen. There's nowhere to put a sticker on either chest nor shoulder. Not without dealing with large gaps/ridges/valleys.

    Aren't there rules saying no personal attacks on other members? Or do rules not take effect when it's someone you don't like?

    Well...I can tell right now comments will be deleted...its only a matter of time.

    For me personally I'm happy with this. I prefer smaller-scale stuff, I never got the original and Iron Factory hasn't let me down yet.

    Personal attacks? Where? Please point me to any. I did not attack him one single time. There is no need for my comment to be deleted - even if it isn't completely PG. I have read far far worse on this board and some comments go, and some do not.

    You also realize the meaning of my intent also, correct? This is not the first time this member has entered this forum sub section and has tried to start up shit. He has done it before and it is just getting annoying.

    I am not "God" nor the Internet police. I can not dictate where he visits and what he posts - but I can sure as hell can refute asinine comments met to stir up trouble.

    Back on topic!

    This guy looks super clean also: I needs it!

    Haha I know. That's why I didn't quote ya. Was speaking to warpath :) 

    (Edit: oops. Maybe the part about it being deleted. But that's it. Promise!)


    I really hope IronFactory does most of the IDW cast ..

    Highly likely they will. I've heard rumours of a Sixshot, which would be AMAZING.

    I do wonder what a Bruticus designed by them would look like. Legends-scale combiners aren't really that common. All we have so far is ROTF Devastator, BH Abombinus and DX9 Hulkie (which is on its way to me).

    Hulkie is great. I used to scoff at the thought of it being a little bigger (this was some peoples complaints), but it could have actually been a *little* bigger. I still love him though.

    I have a feeling of IF we're to do one, it would be pretty much perfect.

    So far I only own Overlord, and Windblade and Magnus are on stack on TFSource. Had to do it like that: shipping to Australia is WAY overpriced.

    If you're okay with Shapeways, Ariel Lemon's already made Vos, Kaon and Tarn. What're the other two? Not up to Dark Cybertron yet.
