    Just wanna throw this out, a ocular max sixshot would be great, but you gotta ask how much he'd be.i mean, a triplechanger springer is 150, how much would sixshot be? I'm guessing maybe 200, and I dunno if I could do that. If he ended up less I'd be pleasantly surprised.

    So FT Tarn actually Transformers? Or no it's just an action figure of a Transformer, not actually a transforming transformer?

    It doesn’t transform. I’m fine with that. If I want a alt-mode Tarn, I have MMC’s (which is in permanent alt-mode now).

    I mean, I have a actual transforming transformer (Megatron) from MMC, and I would never, ever transform it into it’s alt-mode - because it’s terrible. Same difference to me :3

    yeah seems once figures go out of stock in retailers its an automatic owners think it should be worth 4x the retail value. I'd love the Lockdown and Deaths head but for like 300 or 400...uh HELL NO. I don't even want to pay $250+ for Carnifex/Overlord. With the exception of Turmoil and Titanika...all the ones I got have been under the 100 mark. Usually when one of the e-tailers puts on sale unless its one I really want like Megatron and Guzzle.

    Tell me about it, man. I had that Carnifex reissue on order and when it fell through, I was gutted. Someday, maybe...

    I would definitely buy a OX Max Sixshot, hopefully that gets done soon. For now I have DX9's Hanzo and he gets the job done at the moment. I also have Ox Max Springer too, great figure. I think the price would be around the same for a Six Shot, just slightly more like $15-$20 due to his height in scale compared to Springer

    I’d expect a bit higher tbh since he has a lot more modes then springer, therefore more parts in order to make those modes work.

    Hmmm, interesting. That could very much be, I didn't think about all the extra modes. My other take on that, from having Hanzo and also MMC's Hexatron, not all the alt modes are that great looking IMO lol. That's a lot of alt modes to create out of 1 figure, I feel like some of the modes are going to suffer and wont have that many extra parts to create but who knows. Either way, I'm all the way in for a Ox Max Six Shot. I truly hope they also create a updated Reformatted version that's closer to IDW's

    I got Kultur because although I love Tarn, I don’t love him enough to spend $400 on the Flame Toys one. If MMC release a new version of Tarn down the road, I guess I’ll either keep Kultur and buy the new one too, or try to sell him. But Kultur is still great; he’s sitting in my POL at BBTS and I’m eager to get him when the other items arrive

    I would prefer an Reformatted Sixshot. We need more idw figures. The market is over saturated with G1 figures. I still have the g1 figures my grandfather and father collected all the way back in the 1980's.

    With Springer we also saw a nice distinction between other competing options with how the “car” looks more like a car. So maybe we’d see a better wolf or tank mode on an OM version.

    Ah yes, the olden times known as the '80's. I remember how ice cream was a nickel, all the easy dames showed their ankles, Pterosaur attacks happened to unsuspecting milk men, and the music was becoming the hip-to-the-hop.

    Good times back then in the '80's, even with the ever present threat of the Nazis looming over us.

    There are quite a lot of IDW figures - you just have to stop expecting MMC to make them all; especially, in my opinion, some of their options are very poor when comparing to other companies versions.

    G-Creations’ Six Shot is IDW Six Shot. He is also the same height as MMC’s Overlord; so they scale together perfectly.

    He is leagues better than MMC’s attempt. If MMC were to make him again (they wouldn’t), you’d have to assume they themselves would have it be as tall as GC’s also.

    I also vastly prefer SXS’ Rodimus over MMC’s weird inaccurate Rodimus cosplaying as a mix between a Linebacker and Wolverine.

    G-Creations also offers a beautiful IDW Prowl that scales perfectly with voyagers as well.

    Likewise there are other figures from other companies that all scale together wonderfully.

    According to TCP, he will arrive in 3 days but that’s probably wrong? I wish :(

    You've told me this before that there are other companies that have idw figures available that scale with MMC really well. But none are available, they have been sold out forever, so if they aren't available. Why shouldn't another company make their own version of the figure and sale it. Again think about all the companies that make seekers. If you're looking for seekers they're always available at any given time by one company or another. And you don't have to go through eBay to get it overpriced. You can just go to and online store and just get it at the price it was always ment to be.
