    Brawn and SST look so good.

    TW is still currently my Seaspray champ but if FT elongated the chest slightly I'd swap him out.

    2nd does look tons better, just sorry I bought first one though. Ok one looks more like old style MP and not totally toon accurate.

    Its probably too late for a change like that but it does look good. The part I struggle often with is that its more important to me that I get the sense of the character than the exact replication of the poorly drawn toon.

    For example, V1 says seaspray as a Cobra seal action figure. V2 screams tubby to me and how I remember him. Next to the others, it exaggerates that his a round waist bot but it works well in the crowd.

    For example, Hasbro unicron looks the part for me minus the height of the line work but the big distraction for me is the face. Its looks Siege modified and not what I think of when I recall Unicron.

    It's just incredible the amount of attention Seaspray has received. I expect MMC to announce theirs soon.

    It is kinda funny. Wasn't that long ago we were all joking about the upcoming MP Seaspray wars, like that'll never happen.

    And I think this one is my guy. Love the design. Love the size. All on board. And even if this was a d!ck move to halt sales of XTB's one coming out right now, I still wouldn't have gotten XTB's. This is the first one that feels right to me, but I guess there's always room for more MP Seasprays!

    Really dig this 2.0 even though I could care less about seaspray and have V1.
    Think I will use 2.0 as part of my G1 display, and V1 as a G2 Seaspray

    Assuming your question isn't meant as sarcasm. The entire mid-section on v1 looks much more 'buff' than should be the case with Seaspray. I actually owned this figure for a minute, so I'm not just basing my thoughts on pictures, but I always thought TW's version looked the part best. This is the reason I sold Spindrift and kept TW's. Once I open XTB's Seaspray I may retire TW's, but that remains to be seen. Long story short, Seaspray should be stubby and chubby and obviously FT gets that as they are redoing him.

    Everything from the waist down is a lot nicer and more masterpiece style, for one thing.

    Thanks. Maybe too late maybe not. Hopefully not. I won’t be buying their v2 because...

    To me it just looks like a slightly barrel-chested bot wearing a BCD (buoyancy control device-SCUBA equipment ). The toon and comic book was tubby and I loved him because of it. My edit makes him tubby. FT v2 looks like...Puck from Alpha Flight. Muscular stocky short guy. :) .

    Looks too trim to me, with narrow waist and a torso that isn't thick and blocky enough.

    ...so I guess I'll wait for FT's 2.0 version.

    I was definitely being sarcastic, v1, own it but in truth it's off from the rest of fanstoys, like Tesla. Both are overly athletic looking.

    Should be abt 1.5 years for the 1st one... so you're looking at maybe the 3 to 4 year mark for the 2.0 ;)

    Yeah... Honestly, I'm fine with Badcube's. It was meant more as a dig at FT for releasing a toy that's off in some way but people eat it up because it's FansToys, only to release an improved version later.

    'Course, I tease them now but if they do a Tesla 2.0 that doesn't suck like the first one before anyone else does a proper Perceptor you know I'll be all over it.

    Would love to see a Preceptor 2.0! The original is very dated... & that face! I replaced mine with one of Takara Infernos alternate faces.
    I have Badcubes Brawn & I've said it before... personally it is my least favorite MP scaled figure. Blasphemy to many who love him... but me, I can't wait to replace it!

    I’ve got the TW as well but will get this for the articulation that TW doesn’t have.

    Hmmm. I need to see a comparo beside something that actually exists in the real world, in order compare sizes. I don't like how FT hasn't posed him beside something of their own release series, like, oh, say, V1 Seaspray.
