Imma wait, I want these but Keith & co. are so hit/miss… fingers crossed.

 

Would be awesome if they each came with a spray can accessory.

 

so we're having the usual XTB thread discussions i see. FOR ME, at the end of the day they've given me the most and best MP carbots out of anyone except MAYBE takara. dragstrip's shoulders aside (mine are intact but haven't checked them in a long time), thee other breakages seem more like rare or user errors. the trailer well...its design was questionable in a lot of areas and it was complicated. mine seems OK so far. kuckily i skipped locked because S3 is not a focus for me and kup's alt mode does nothing for me. Their Fuzz missed the mark for me though, too complex for what it needed to be and mmc's render looks way better. that being said, I'm cautiously optimistic. their breakdown and wildrider are among my favorite MP bots ...period so i'm biased.

 

It's XTB/KFC. They always have the best accessories.

 

And Galvatron

 

@ibot (and @rest for opinions) in the cartoon Runamuck is off-white with a pure white face and Runabout seems the same shade of dark gray throughout, but Fast & Fury both have a light gray (or silver?) face. I would prefer the cartoon deco, so white face for Fast and dark gray face for Fury (even if that might make him slightly more bland looking). Would that still be possible?

 

Someone paint fast red and black look like magnum pi car

 

They fit nicely in the new Takara Masterpiece line... being bland and undetailed with giant flat panels. Sadly this just does not look nice, maybe it was OK for a cheaply made cartoon 35 years ago but I want MPs that actually use that price point for detailing, like the new MP Skids.

 

One of those times I wish the colors were swapped. Runamuck(?)in black would be nice to mimic Knight Rider.

 

who the hell wouldn’t want them?

 

Great  

 

PO’d. First XTB rodeo. Don’t fail me Keef.

 

I'm sure Toyhax will sort that out. Both camps happy then.

 

I like these. Flat and bland and looking like they stepped right out of the cartoon is the only thing keeping my interest in collecting Transformers these days. I don't doubt that other people want the newer toys to get all creative and funky, but I like the XTB commitment to accurately match real-world vehicles and then have such good toon-accurate sculpts. To each their own and I'll try not to go crap in the Iron Factory or Planet X threads if others allow me to enjoy what XTB has been putting out. After getting Fuzz last month and being really happy with it I'm expecting good things from these two. Thank God I skipped Locke, but I'll happily keep on using my Big Spring figure until Virtus arrives.

These two figures hit all the right buttons with me:
1. Accurate cars without the odd arm or face showing.
2. Toon accurate bots without any creative embellishments. And well done versions of the toons when the better animation houses were doing the work.
3. Under $100 for a MP carbot.

I'm not going to be upset about anyone airing their personal frustrations with XTB, but my past couple of figures have been good, Menasor was good, and I'm looking forward to these guys.

 

Dante and DaVinci are clearly abandoned projects.

 

And a TV playing MTV (when it was good), complete with remote.

 

Well played sir! I wouldn't hold your breath though sadly.

 

Better still would be changeable parts. Stickers suck.

 

My wife asked what I was laughing at after I read your comment, so I scrolled up to the photos and repeated what you'd said. She noted that from a small picture at a distance, the one above the side view kind of looks like he's aggressively flipping somebody off with a big red finger. So she imagined this scenario where he gives the finger and then turns sideways to disappear and sneak away and couldn't stop laughing
