    I love them.

    Thank you, TFC. I can't wait to own these.

    I hope they do Menasor and Bruticus next.

    I don't care much about Predaking, but I must say, these are TFCs best looking bot modes yet...

    Well done guys! :thumb

    Well, I haven't gotten on board with any of the Predaking projects and I think TFC just may have won me over (again). These look pretty sweet. I just hope the gestalt is MASSIVE as predicted.

    I dig the update to the alt modes...but the bot modes are really lacking in character and possibly articulation to the competition. Same old TFC.

    However I like that the feet can split into guns, but it doesn't have the silhouette of the black and white teasers.

    Well, I was a tiny bit worried when Nemean was first shown that I would have a dilemma between Feral Rex and Ares, but these last pictures took me from 95% in MMC's camp to 100% in MMC's camp - I'm now off to pre-ordering Bovis and Talon!

    Damn, these guys are looking awesome! Hopefully, Ares towers over both Herc and Uranos!

    That's a rather ignorant comment.

    Welcome to Transformers, period.

    I like what the have done and I welcome the light piping. Mmc will be my fav out of the there, but I would like to own this if everything turns out to my liking in the end.

    I shocked to even say this but.....I like TFC's Rampage more than MMC's.

    Can Headstrong's front legs/robot arms collapse in? That would look more stumpy like a real rhino.

    Gun Bazooka is awesome. Ravage looks much better and I think TFC wins in the Alt mode department.

    But...that size difference between the torso and the limb bots is just horrible.

    TFC is way to go! I love the scale that they stick with, 4 little brothers led by 1 leader, that keeps my TFC collection very consistent.

    Damn... TFC is destroying their competition in the beast mode category, but I don't know if it will be enough to sway me from TFC. Gestault mode will be the deciding factor. I've always liked TFC's stuff (Hercules > Green Giant), but I am pretty disappointed that they give an upgrade kit for Uranos that really should have been included in the first place (Phantom Ray = FAIL).

    Call it strange if you must, but I really dig that rhino. And in both modes too. Bot head even has a vague Rhinox vibe to it that just works. Overall Ares may be a contender after all.

    Need to see Divebomb before biting the bullet. MMC bot mode for Headstrong IS nice, but I do like those weapons TFC are giving them.. it's such a hard decision, but since I have Herc and Uranos I will probably stick with TFC. Must see Divebomb and gestalt mode.

    Woah, Razorclaw is huge. I love this Rampage. I'm so conflicted on which company to choose still....

    Wow, so TFC Toys' Razor, which is said to be as big is Blackbird is a hell of a lot bigger than their version of Rampage and Headstrong:eek: 

    Nemean is going to be a a little small, isn't he?
