At least you were only forgetting Perceptor. I forgot about Red Alert, Hoist, and the Protectobots.

 

That’s a fan colourisation and not entirely accurate. The below is closer to his actual colour model:

 

oh no!!! the bottom spot in the shin isn't colored, whatever shall we do???

 

The others look so confused.

Nice Diorama!

 

Huh, well I'll be...

Is there a website where I can see more of those complete character models with the back/ head views?

This changes my whole outlook on Gravestone and life  

 

I don’t see the hangnail is toon accurate

 

At the end, the reviewer ranked the three in this way:
1. Roadking
2. Gravestone
3. Capone.

Now before anyone screams, he did give his reasons. There's nothing new we haven't heard before. Capone is the MOST FUN to transform. FT is the LEAST FUN to transform. However FT's quality is the highest, while DX9's is the lowest (apparently there have been reported issues of the wheels(?) breaking). Gravestone is a very nice middle option and its quality is closer to FT's.

In the end his suggestion was: list out your dislikes for a particular figure and if you can't live with any of it, then don't buy it. Sounds reasonable.

 

Uncoloured versions can be found in the Ark books (by Jim Sorenson), published by IDW.

The colour shot above is part of a reconstruction project by user D.M of the Allspark forums, based on a combination of surviving behind the scenes paperwork (some of which contained colour information), knowledge of the brands of paints/dyes used by Toei at the time, and only falling back on the episodes themselves where no other references were available.

I got my Gravestone from TCP this morning. So far I'm loving him. I haven't gotten a chance to get the rest of the team out for a group shot.

 

With the way this is going it looks like I'll be the last person to receive Gravestone despite pre-ordering it the moment it was available  

 

My Capone was shipped from China on Dec 1st.

So far, there's been no updates  

So there's worse people out there

 

Absolutely love Gravestone, looks like a brute on the shelf in bot mode. I already had Roadking, who I also think is impressive, but I prefer Gravestone. Transformation was reasonable, unlike Roadking's that becomes a pain in the ass when trying to deal with the collapsing trailer. I know having the trailer incorporate into the bot is more accurate, but I like the compromise of having it separate and becoming the combiner kibble/exoskeleton.

 

Gravestone just hit my local seller! Finally.

 

My Gravestone(and I'm sure others), according to ShowZ, has just been released from Chinese customs so it should be on it's way across the Pacific now...

 

it is so frustrating that there are so many stunticons out right now and not a single complete Menasor

 

True, but I look at this way; not have the ability to combine these guys forces me enjoy them as individuals. I know that sounds silly, but I know myself all too well. If Gravestone had come with the trailer I would have transformed him into bot mode, messed around with him for a few minutes, then it would have been straight into combined mode and onto the shelf.

 

I know, I've been keeping up with that thread, it's madness!  

 

Hear ye Hear ye .......I need to buy this guy of course, but first I need everyone to report to me and let me know if there are any issues with him. I don't want to jump the gun like I did with Overheat and then discover that he has some issue. I would rather wait for a subsequent release .......it's not like I can combine him anyway.

 

Then read the thread you're in?
