    I guess I'll stick with Poseidon then. I preordered deathclaw for December. And if I have any money left, assaultus is next. Still excited to see blastoff and onslaught come out.

    Wow, the combined final mode looks great! Can't wait to see the add-on set pics. Wonder if there will be any repaints? Ruination maybe?

    I have the Zeta set and it works perfectly for my needs but if these guys do a Ruination I’ll be all over it. Have absolutely no place to put it though....

    They could do Ruination, but the thing is these are based on the cartoon designs while the Ruination team is based on the toys.
    If MMC based their Bruticus on Studio Ox Bruticus (Like the line was originally advertised as) that wouldn't be an issue cause the Ox designs are based on the toys too.
    Ocular Max was supposed to be and continues to be advertised as Studio OX Masterpiece toys but they're just as cartoon based as any other 3rd party MP line.

    That’d be cool if they did toy versions of these guys, like XTransbots is doing w/ their Stunticons

    Wow, I forgot that Studio Ox actually has the right alt-mode for Swindle (he's not a Jeep!)

    So wait, is this drawing saying we've been facing Brawl the wrong way for the toys and that the turret is in the back of the leg?

    Well if that is so, I believe I will be sticking to my animation deco then.

    Hear me out, you can do some slight remolding for the other four with some new paint deco, but what if they did an almost completely new mold which makes Swindle more toy like? You know Kubalsky would kill it and make toy swindle just as cool as toon Swindle. You can use him for the OX version of Bruticus, make the upgrade kit more toy accurate when used with this new mold, and use toy Swindle for Ruination repaints.

    If I was MMC I'd do this, but not even announce it, just drop it. People will complain no matter what so just drop it let it sell crazy good, and shrug your shoulders about not mentioning it sooner when criticized.

    Yeah
    I think they should do it
    Do they often do toy remolds or not often? They did that orange Arcee and several others but I know that’s not a g1 toy thing

    They do remolds all the time, 74% of their reformatted line is remolds and repaints. But that big a redesign on a character? Never. I'd buy a toy accurate Swindle though, in addition to the toon version. I got room in my heart.

    Quick while you're looking! Blast Off and Sky Lynx shuttle modes side-by-side, is it at least on the table?

    Have we gotten any pics of Onslaught next to MP Megatron or Prime? I can't recall now.

    Two shuttles next to each other. The Challenger blew up on my 8th birthday, so since then I like to look at shuttles when on display. And how often do you get to see two MMC made shuttles next to each other to compare and contrast?

    And the weekend is fine, I just appreciate you doing it. Enjoy Thanksgiving.

    He also looks weird. My upper body is longer than my lower body. Wheeeeee..................

    I think they should color that blue plate on top of his crotch piece. Things might look better.

    Another thing is how his thighs connect to the hip. They are like / \ instead of | |. I mean it's understandable because of the way the legs will have to go horizontally to the sides for combined mode. No doubt some will still find him attractive, but I wouldn't buy him as a standalone figure. This is not true for the arm bots, they seem to be outstanding figures on their own.

    If they colored the top of the crotch piece blue, his torso would look even longer... Think.
