    The sword looks like it came from a different toy all together. Considering they were going for a very cartoon accurate look, this seems like a poorly thought out decision. Its really garish and fantasy looking, whereas the original design was more elegant.
    The guns look rather... lazily designed. They don't look very well integrated into the overall figure, and just sit there like a mass of silver painted squares. It's not just that they look bad, it's readily apparent that they were designed by someone who wasn't involved with the design of the figures.

    Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Pretty cool combined mode.

    The sword and gun were in the original concept art UT released in December, almost exactly as they appeared.

    So....
    If you have herc and get this you'll have a dwarfed predaking....
    If you have giant, you have a predaking that could be legitimately challenged by dev or Bruticus?
    Where would this fit in your collection?
    Again, some people need not answer.

    Not that every toy must be in scale, but why would War Lord not fit with Giant? They were the same height in the TV series.

    Gun looks OK to me. At least it looks G1ish. Sword however I agree. Looks nice but doesn't fit. I really don't get the sword. The whole figure is pretty much slavishly G1 yet the sword looks nothing like G1. Its like they grabbed a sword from a Prince of Aladdin figure or something and gave it to Warlord.

    Im definitely getting MMC Rex. Having said that recent pics of Warlord have somewhat swayed into getting him as well.

    Warlord really does look good in combined mode. If I only cared about the singular gestalt mode I probably would seriously be considering him. Unfortunately the individual bots arent particularly impressive.

    But as a gestalt... Wow.

    My only gripe with combined mode is like they grabbed a silver and red sharpie and colered random places. I also would like a box set in takara 2010 colors.

    Same idea that TFC follows----random spots of color with no concern if it looks GOOD to highlight that particular spot. "Hey look at all the details we painted! That automatically makes it a high-end collectible, right?!?"

    MMC and FP actually color areas that look GOOD and improve the figure's looks.

    more G1 scale ridiculousness... :lol  That Razorclaw is tiny right next to Predaking.

    The lion head on Predaking's chest could almost swallow Razorclaw whole!

    also, LOL at Scourge's posture x D

    After seeing the new pictures this morning.... Well, if they were cheaper (say $50 each), I'd be all over them (as well as the MMC one), because it really does look nice. But since they're so expensive, I'm only going with MMC, because I think it's better value for money. Hopefully they can bring the price down on these guys once they're all out.
