bought, but hopefully for less than herc bots, i want computron to be a little shorter (not by much, but a little) than herc

 

Im in! Lets get this done!

 

I'd want the scaling to be combiner-related. Don't care about individuals as much as combiner scaling.

Almost all combiners should be same size, aside from like, Predaking and if anyone is making it, Dinobot combiner.

 

It's wierd how we all see things. I see Devastator as being the biggest....but only just and only because he has two bots making up his torso. I really don't see him as those huge construction vehicles at all....take Mixmaster for example, those mixer trucks really aren't that big, so the rest of the components are just the run of the mill construction vehicles in my eyes. In that case Superion would be closest seeing as fighter jets will be roughly the same size as normal construction vehicles. Menasor would be alot smaller being simply cars although his torso would be quite big with it being an trailer.....I'd say between half to three quarters Devys size.

Bruticus would be a freak.....as would Defensor. Both are totally wonky in vehicle size. Predaking/Piranacon could be anysize really as they are robot animals.

Computron I never saw in the cartoon or toys so have no idea and is probably why I have zero interest in this. Same with Abominus. I do seem to remember owning some of his component parts but I never really liked them.

 

Personally I'm going to wait until I see some prototypes before I decide to get or not. Great news though for all you Computron fans!!!

 

Though I'll have no problem with a Computron that's the same size as Herc/Devs, I'm good with him being smaller. Personally, the only combiner team I'd insist be as big or bigger than Devs is Predaking.

If they follow the Scramble City portion of Computron where the limbs are smaller than the commander than I'd say it's a lock the limbs will go for less than $100 shipped. As low as $50ish shipped (if they're scout sized like FP Munitioner and Explorer) and as high as $80ish shipped (if they're as tall or a bit taller than Deluxes, which is what I think I prefer before seeing prototypes).

If a TFC Computron follows its G1 Scramble City lineage, than yes. That said, if they go with all five being closer to Voyager size in height (and maybe Scattorshot or whoever was the commander as an Ultra?) I'm amenable to that since I did like most of the individual TFC Constructicon molds (Neckbreaker/Bonecrusher being the only dud for me). If the quality of the individual 'bot modes matches the Constructicons, I'm good with paying $100 a piece again (and likely more for the commander). If they're boring (thinking of the first two Giant molds' 'bot modes) than I'd rather they stick to Deluxe-ish sizes since I don't want to pay $100 each for five figures that are boring on their own.

 

As much of a fan I am of Computron I have no interest to own a 3rd party figures of him.

 

Again, I'm torn. I can't spring $100 on each individual bot when it's not that compelling like the Hercules components weren't. And $600 is a hell of a lot of money. I would literally have to starve myself because that would be a month's pay for me just about.

On the other hand. I have to take my hat off to TFC and give them their due. THIS is what I wanted to see when I asked for advancement in combiner tech. And yes, if I made plenty of money, you wouldn't be hearing me b****. You'd be getting my money.

 

I"m gonna laugh at all the people that said "i'm glad it isn't a repaint of Hercules"...

guess what guys? The next big thing from TFC IS a white and red repaint of Hercules. Meant to be a SG version of the figure and it's meant to resemble the Protectobots. EVENTUALLY we might get a Computron set, but that's not what they're working on RIGHT NOW.

 

Lord have mercy! To all of you who keep suggesting that TFC follow fans project should just EMAIL FANSPROJECT ABOUT MAKING ONE! TFC should follow what they have set for themselves. FANSPROJECT should continue on Combiners in scale with their own and others 3rd paties should Make combiners to scale with Herc or how they see it and let people choose to their own specific liking.

You all were wrong about the Scale problems of Hercules. In my opinion Hercules/Devastor looks Terrific towering over the smaller bots, as he should. The Giant as well as the FP combiners have a place on yourshelves not mine (except Bruticus, lol).

Thats why its important to have a 3rd party that WONT FOLLOW FANSPROJECT SCALE, so that people like me can be satisfied with HUGE and enormous Combiners.

 

yeah, if all they have right now is sketches, Computron isnt next...unless TFC releases nothing for a couple years  

 

I need that "shup up and take my money" picture right now

 

Doesn't TFC still have like 20 other things they've revealed in a prototype stage still waiting to come out? If they actually intend to do Computron and they're only at the sketch stage...throw me a reminder again in about 2016.

 

Can't be any worse than iGear.....

 

If they are going to do Computron, then i hope they'll start a Combiner line with all the G1 Combiners

 

I doubt I would invest in another combiner from TFC. With all the issues with Hercules, I don't know if their engineering skills are up to par.

 

Providing they're making a Computron, I might just buy Strafe and call it a day. As a kid he was the only one I had, so if these figures end up being like $80-to-$100 a piece I'd focus on just getting him.

I'd totally be down for an Abominus/Terrocons gestault though, those were my favorite growing up and are in desperate need of decent upgrades.

Computron is hilarious. I applaude this decision.

 

Hmm...interesting. So thats my opinion on it.
