    I had Apache and sold him as soon as I saw pictures of virtus. Now I'm convinced it'll be the best springer

    Hopefully Virtus will be cheaper because there are already two alternatives.

    I'm glad that you're glad that he's glad that you're happy :cool: 

    On a side note is anyone else finding that images aren't always displaying properly on the site today? I keep seeing this in a lot of threads today but not for all images:

    XTB has to show and prove before they get my preorder money ... they’re just not there yet from a reliability standpoint

    Do it. I did, and for what you can sell Koot for will pay for this. Imagine when XTB makes their own Hot Rod to go with their Springer, Locke and TT Arcee.

    Quality, but also just releasing anything new at all!

    This reminds me of a battle I was in, during the mp kup wars of 2015, years ago. I’m trying to remember, I think xtransbots had a lot of casualties that day...

    Welp at least they got Kup's face sculpt spot on, unlike Hasbro's SS86 version.

    Yes, it is a lot better than the FT's version. Hopefully he would look great next to Berserk's tank mode!

    Probably budget related. Let's say the same designer was given 100 bucks to use for 2 figures. He probably allocated 70% to Hot Rod and 30% to Kup.

    There's that argument but, its like the face was made from a poor memory. I dont see how budget could factor into something off, and shit.

    You are right. Especially since this is supposed the 86 representation. There's a ton of reference materials out there.

    With regards to TFS-Express. Has anyone ever had to pay import tax or customs fees when ordering through them from the US? $126 is quite a bit more tolerable than $160.

    I mean he does look damn good, but we have a bot of a problem some of us.

    Locke here is far too short compared to FT’s Hoodlum, but he’s perfect for ol’ MP Hot Rodimus. Do you keep him with the MP on a movie display or pop him into a scene with Rodimus Prime from season 3?

    Keep him with the movie display along side MP-28 until another company eventually makes a better Hotrod.

    Went with TFS, $125 isn't bad at all. Now to box up and sell Koot.
