    LOL! Wine? Perfect. My headcanon is that Blast Off, being "aristocratic" according to his G1 bio, would drink (energon)wine as a matter of being "sophisticated". In his mind, at least. :D 
    Thus the pic!
    However, I found this and this would be my guess as to why "volutus"- it's a type of tube-like cloud that could be shuttle-like with a bit of imagination. Fits the flying brick that is Blast Off, lol!

    Yeah, KOF is quite hot right now, a lot of companies are making KOF figures like Emen Genesis, World Box, TBleague and DarkSteel Toys. :)

    Maybe its name is inspired by latin.

    I've been hemming and hawing about this set for quite a while. I haven't bought any 3rd parties before, but I just placed an order for my first two. Fraudo and Downbeat. Depending on how I feel about Fraudo, that will likely lead me to the rest of this set.

    Out of curiosity, will it come with the decals like the Decipticon logo, or will I need to get that myself from somewhere like Toyhax?

    You're gonna have to get decals separately.

    Personally if you ask me, i'd recommend these Toyhax stickers.
    Cartoon Clean Symbols

    Also, if they are more up your alley, waterslides exist. I believe it's Uncle Billy who sells some really slick waterslides? They usually look more coherent, by that I mean they mesh better/look like they actually were added onto the figure, at least in my opinion, than Toyhax stickers. I'll update this post with a link to those from his shop, it's probably my VPN, but I can't connect to his site, haha.

    EDIT: here's the links to some of Uncle Billy's listings on his site for some good looking waterslides. Included some Autobot ones for you, should you get some Autobot 3Ps as well.

    Dry transfer decal sets also exist out there. They're easier to use for newbies, but they're also less forgiving to a certain degree if you screw them up.

    Great set to start your 3p journey. I started with all the official Takara stuff until I ran out of characters, now almost all the way finished with my G1 roster where available. The MMC combaticons were the last guys I've been adding (after fleshing out with Fanstoys/XTB/Dx9/Zeta for various characters) and they have so far over exceeded my expectations with regards to engineering, general feel and overall look. Have only opened Fraudo/Incursus and love those guys, Impetus I got through post on weekend so gonna mess around with him soon and really excited.

    Hope you have as much fun as I did with them, don't think you'll be disappointed.

    P.S Downbeat is awesome as well!

    You're gonna love Fraudo, there's so much to like about him. All 3 modes look great. The additional silver slipper from the upgrade kit really enhances his appearance as Assaultus right leg. And the complexity in switching from one mode to the next takes everyone by surprise.

    I agree with our cohorts that you will be happy with both Fraudo and Downbeat! Both are excellent pieces. Look forward to your thoughts!

    try these, they're great. just make damn sure you have them lined up because they are a bitch to remove once pressed down.

    No one's mentioned/linked Goose Howard yet? (not a typo)

    (I don't want it taking up a whole screen, it embeds ginormous, so the link is intentionally broken)
