    Looks like a custom for now and waiting for a 3rd party to pick it up. It can be disassembled and used by the bots.

    Seems a bit too big. Needs to be refined (imho).

    Way too big is an understatement. The way the truck halves on Energon Onslaught come out seem to be the perfect size for a "classics" style chest shield, and I think 3P attempts need to stick with that size. I wouldn't get anything that would sacrifice arm articulation just for the sake of G1 accuracy.

    I agree...it does look "too big". If it was downsized a bit more to scale/proportion to the rest of the combined mode.....then this would be very interesting.

    Yeah that is way too much armor and it covers up what I like about the look of the Collossus torso too. Also for frick sake why didn't they make a part to cover brawls hands of all things that need covering they are it lol.

    And people complained that Hexatron couldn't rotate his arms forward much due to chest fins...

    That looks like a bib one size too big for collosus. I like what its trying to do to fill out vehicle mode a bit, but damn.

    I actually like the silhouette of the front to be honest. I don't feel it needs a chest plate. Maybe something like this would be nice, but on a much smaller scale.

    Too big and way too many parts to fit on the individual modes.

    Wings need to fold a little for the chest shield, there's a lot of parts, and Colossus already has enough parts forming going on.


    ......is the other add on chest shield dead in the water?

    Maybe the chest shield is a bit to large and gets in the way of articulation....

    but those add-ons for the vehicles are really really nice.

    Maybe if they could just scale down or shrink the wing thickness a bit?

    I like how the chest shield breaks apart into various accessories for all the bots but the combined form is a bit too big, as everyone mentioned. Not bad though but still waiting for someone to release something finalized in colored ABS plastic form already.

    It interferes with articulation AND is mega parts forming. No thanks. I'll keep watching for Encline's shield.
