    I want to know from Fans Hobby if they are planning to release Buster and Hydra or Dreadwind and Darkwing!

    So basically colored samples of those prototypes.

    Google says 4PM CST is 10 pm BST, so 2200, then.

    Hope that's perspective, while Long haul looks good, Scrapper looks incredibly stocky

    I am afraid of the transformation but both modes do look good.

    If they have things to announce, it will be at the 4PM CST Third Party Panel.

    And, there probably won't be any preorders that go live right at the show, so rest easy at that.

    I can't explain how happy I am that the XTB Scrapper looks terrible so I can cancel those pre-orders. I don't really want any XTB products, it was just out of boredom for FT not revealing Constructicons yet.

    Iron Factory and Fans Hobby really nice displays and progress on their lines.

    Yeah. I am insanely impressed with XTB as of late. These all look incredible. Their Magnus looks great too.

    If they can nail all of this stuff and pump it out in a reasonable amount of time, then I’m all for it.

    Just got to TFCon in Chicago and they have the x-transbots prototypes in glass displays. I tried to get different angles of the figures as best I could. 9E28143C-EBA4-4274-ACA1-05523F91FABE.jpeg F6711023-CD59-4D86-8BEF-4AFCB62D8EF4.jpeg E530AEB7-DCAB-4A24-AB3D-27F7AA87BE17.jpeg 036D3EAD-4CBB-4B6C-A40D-946E75CC1789.jpeg B81CDEB2-200F-4F87-82F8-42925644F323.jpeg 7AF9EB8D-8A2E-47E6-ABA0-D9F2600F4FB2.jpeg ED53A8C3-F308-4551-BDF1-6BC75C5948F4.jpeg 369DF08E-632A-44B8-B7D5-AE1B55579845.jpeg 56999AA4-AB20-43B5-8734-F586FC8A5FA6.jpeg DCB12304-09DB-4E51-B374-99B571B19080.jpeg A8002B12-6A67-4E8E-A957-F6B17820281C.jpeg FAE71AA7-B285-42D8-ACB6-46D2264C818E.jpeg BCE0580B-50D8-44AA-B6F1-00BA67200EFF.jpeg DB0BF4F0-AEC0-4430-A4B2-B3E2351D44B8.jpeg 0139A7CC-B02F-4148-80DF-AA09D1BD97CB.jpeg AEAE3B64-1C0B-4DFB-BCC0-9051E0025C9C.jpeg CB207FC1-5687-448F-887A-CCAA8B672766.jpeg 7B68FF03-F438-4345-A2AB-59D7F0353C33.jpeg F5238C68-FB40-4377-82E6-2CF4F3A51E5D.jpeg 428B4B8D-029E-446A-9D4D-BEF5546E1885.jpeg E431C8FA-AE9C-4DBF-9448-F3D4EF747ABB.jpeg 773EFC00-37F5-4581-98EA-BC28D846C02A.jpeg 8F77AFDE-2488-4442-9FF2-93FA8C635223.jpeg

    Iron Factory will probably reveal a bunch of stuff for next year. They seem to do reveal a lot of stuff for the upcoming year during October or November.

    Most of their announcements are at the Shanghai Convention the last couple of years, so I don’t expect anything new from them today.
