    A Theme song for this entire thread, courtesy of Square Enix. Never a bad reason to link this song.



    There was going to be one. What happened, I don't know, but someone I knew told me about it who was in the know on these things and was close to FP/MT.

    Nope, see above.

    I wasn't too interested in the Ace Seaspray figure, but I would have gotten a few of the Centurion Droids if the price had been reasonable. I stumbled across someone on Facebook who was 3D printing and selling them (or a version of them anyway), but stupidly didn't like their page and haven't been able find it again since then.

    The B.O.T. figure seemed totally unnecessary for a character that only featured in one episode, so of course you know I wanted one... ;)

    Found the threads for those interested...

    They both ended up with two threads. The Centurion Droid first showed up here:


    and then here.


    B.O.T. was first announced here:


    And then a few months later here:


    Yep, that's it! Thank you!! Anyone heard any reviews on these guys?

    My guess is these were made around the same time organized-third party decided to ditch the CHUG and upgrade-kit scene to making MP-focused stuff, so they didn't see any good reason to actually follow through with producing these CHUG-specific figures.

    Shame too, they did look real nice.

    That really weird pretender third party Kickstarter Aaron archer did. Lost protector? I know only like one mold was ever made, but the skullgrim looked awesome. If some guy and his wife could make Lone Wolf and get it manufactured at a factory, a whole giant Kickstarter was not required. It's a shame. he looked awesome. If vangelus still owns the only lost protector skullgrim in existence we need to tell him he belongs in a museum!

    The ironic thing is they were announced a fee years ago *after* that had started to happen. My guess is the molds were made by zeta toys and they were lost and forgotten in the shuffle.

    If by that you mean an all-inclusive transformation then yeah no definitely not.

    That being said, I enjoy the look of Motormaster's truck and robot mode, but that Menasor mode looks a bit too chunky for my liking now compared to how Legacy's is shaping up.

    Just remembered this one. Dr Wu was making a replacement Mixmaster for Combiner Wars Devastator. Never got released.

    Still pissed about that one. Him and a new long haul, and that devastator would have been acceptable.
