    no no, that's just some mis-communication, XTB is not doing anything for Zeta.

    Yeah, that's basic what XTB support person told the Chinese collector: XTB is working on a SilverArrow without parts-forming.

    yeah, Silverbolt... ( I have been to the Zeta Superion thread for too many times, don't remember which one is official names now: silverbolt or silver Arrow)
    In fact, the XBT guy said "银剑", which is silver sword. (Sword and Arrow is the same pronunciation in Chinese, just different writing)

    It dam well better be better's then Zeta, they had the time to learn from Zeta's releases.
    It also looks like they are going the pantsforming route like Zeta which is something I was hoping they could have found a work around for.

    I caved and bought zeta. Those pics just didn’t give me the confidence that it will be solid. They will likely be my stand alone Aerialbots. The legs just look off to me..

    What does he mean by "Silver Arrow without add on parts?"

    As an owner of Kronos, FansToys provides me with a better option for Individual robot modes to pose with Kronos at the very least.

    Superion is my 2nd favorite combiner of all time after Predaking, so these Aerialbots are a must own for me either way.

    Good thing I won't need to worry about these being completed as a set until possibly late 2020 at the earliest given FT track records (pure speculation on my part don't quite me). Plenty of time to save up, and check reviews as these are IndividualIn released.

    I asked Dalianjj that (I was PMing him asking if there was a chance for a G2 version, there are no plans as of now). He did not say one way or the other about the wings being removable, just that details would be shown later.

    If you ask XTB/KFC if they are doing any character they haven't already done there is a 99% chance the answer you will receive is yes. I have never heard any report of them ever saying they are not doing something, though I can't be certain that everyone who has said that they were told that XTB/KFC was making something didn't make it up.

    hopefully its at such an early stage that they could do something like that but i'm in for this set if this is more solid than zeta's and i hope they have learnt from their past mistakes with terminus ,will be waiting on reviews before i jump on it

    What was being talked about was the XTB's version of Silverbolt.

    NP. It gets confusing when someone posts info regarding XTB, and using a name from Zeta, in a FansToys thread.

    Keep thinking the combined form won't use add on parts. U will be woefully disappointed. Honestly the ox version doesn't look much different than zeta. Except twice the price of course. FANSSSSTOYSSSSS LOL. The OP as usual seems to answer only questions he can answer. I think he is just the janitor at the factory and posts new upcoming figures

    1. Add on pieces have furthered combiners as we know it, why wouldn't they use it. If the masses didnt complain about constructor or the Zeta combiners using add on, i dont expect to hear much whining about Fanstoys!
    2. You do realize Dalianjj doesnt have to ANSWER any questions right?

    I know. But if he were more forthcoming I believe it would benefit him, us, and fanstoys. If he were to ask us questions we would answer. Seems a bit rude not to do the same, no?

    While i see your stance, its made under the assumption that everything is fair. I can only chalk it up to he has his reasons for what he doesnt answer. Maybe at the time he doesn't even have an answer to the question.
