    I'm sure the brown is darker, IRL.

    This really puts Superion to shame. How am I even supposed to pose this in the same ROOM as Superion?

    Also, you know what would be great? A fully customized Fansproject Menasor. Just sayin'...

    I find it funny that some people dislike drone 'Explorer' but don't mind Humvee 'Munitioner' and suggest he's just like the figure that inspired him... you know, the open-top WWII Jeep with a giant cannon. XD

    all i know is as soon as i get mine iam going to try to color match the grey and give it a propper window i just would rather not have to do it myself id rather it would be an original figure when im spending like 175 bucks for it i ordered a 25th anniversary bruticus from japan just for this set that cost me 75 bucks by the time i had it shipped here then 100 for the fp sets so the 175 i just want it to be right and to me you cant go wrong with g1 anything i think they should be true to g1 just more updated and modern with articulation and so on

    Why would an autonomous pilotless spacecraft require a cockpit window?

    It amazes me how many people nitpick over this set. If this was a Radicon project criticism would probably be totally nonexistent.

    These sets are awesome!!! They are better than any recent Hasbro or Takara releases for these Characters. I have absolutely no complains. The paint is great, the articulation is great and the overall design is great. FP is trying to make what they call G3 figures inspired by G1 with up-to-date alt. modes. So a Hummer instead of a WWII Jeep and unmanned drone space explorer craft make total sense. The basic color schemes are G1 inspired, the head sculpts are G1 inspired and the alt modes are G1 inspired. Total win all the way around. I Pre-Ordered mine a while ago.

    G1 Swindle was actually a FMC XR311, an obscure late 60s prototype military vehicle.

    I will try to get swindle, but I think Explorer's G1 paint scheme is actually a detriment.

    I've just read an exceptional article about the Air Force making military pilot-less space shuttles with NASA. The brown is now understandable.
