    They're not Maketoys/FPJ... at all. I wish they were but they're not. Nothing that they're doing even looks or feels like MTRM products but rather blown up TFX and Warbot stuff because someone who did that stuff is now contracting to FH.

    Not trying to call out or clown but Fans Hobby deserves to be applauded for what they've done and become in their own right.

    Well, supposedly, some people who worked for Fansproject are now at Fans Hobby.

    And, again possibly, some people at FP also worked at Maketoys.

    All three do lean towards a more stylized take than ultra G1- accurate like Fanstoys or X-Transbots.

    Now , whether ANY of that is true, who knows?

    So far there, Dreadwind looks pretty good.

    Isn't that what really matters?

    Why are there hinges in the wings? Should be no reason for this since they wings just stick out in robot and don't do anything in combined jetmode. I always hate it when we get a jet with hinges in the wings.

    That out of the way, potentially interested. Dreadw and Darkw are two of my favourite (Decepticon) jetformers from G1, with cool characters on top of that. I will wait for the Hasbro colours, since I never liked or cared for the Masterforce version/colours. Purple and aqua wings are silly, but still nicer colours than red.

    Shots from above makes it look as if there's a whole lot of robot kibble underneath, but once seen from gound level it's not as bad as suspected. And the jetmode is amazingly slender. Most F-16 TF figures are way too bulky in jetmode, while a real F-16 is very slim.

    Looks like it might fold in on itself to minimize his width in robot mode, help tske less space up on a shelf

    Probably, but in Masterforce the wings pointed straight back, not to the side.

    I do give them kudos for making it probably the most realistic F-16 from the top. At least as far as the slender look goes. Most TF F-16 are too bulky.

    Not really a necessity, I suppose, but would have been nice if the Power/Godmaster could've fit in cockpit as well as the engine spot

    If the wings/arms could be redesigned to shift back about an inch further this would look better. If not, enlarging the horizontal stabilizers would be the easiest way to get closer to an F-16 look. Also lengthening the forward fuselage so that the LERXs are longer aft of the canopy.

    I like the look from the side but it’s not as appealing from the top.

    This.

    Also, this looks very, very good. :drool: 

    Definitely in for the NA colorations if they do them. #maxnostalgia

    I think the wings need more length in the back. I get it's for the combine mode, but maybe get rid of the current wing hinge and hinge the new back segment to fold under for combined mode.

    But still, I have always loved the F16. I cant wait to get these two when they come out, and I'm also hoping for the NA repaints

    I really like that you can both do a Godmaster look or have a completely clean jet without a permanent hole in it.

    I wonder if it's just an option so that you can give the arms/shoulders more clearance. You might even be able to keep them straight.

    "It's like if a Seeker was a good toy"

    My lil' head canon is that the DWs are the top of the pecking order of jetformers, pretty much blowing Seekers, Coneheads and the Aerialbots outta the sky.

    This looks worthy of that.

    Hope we see Darkwing soon.
