    So, there is big update from MAAS Toys on their website. And they have announced limited to 500 piece crushed Pipes.

    What do you think about it? Will it fit under your Carnifex?

    25 bucks for that seems a bit much. Also, at this point I'd be worried if they can even get their Seekers produced. It sounds like they had to start over from scratch after the split with the Fans Project factory, which could possibly be disastrous depending on how much money already got sunk into it before that. I hope they got enough capital to cover that, I still want to see their stuff get made.

    I mean, i guess cool, I'm glad they're going to be releasing a product but, y'know, why? This is the sort of gag item I would expect to be produced by a company like MMC who have a large enough output that its a neat little addition to a robust lineup. This will be the only toy under the MAAS toys name released in like a year

    I dig the defeated bot thing but I can barely tell what that is without being told. Great idea though, now I’d like those random burnt out bots they’d show where the eyes are shattered and smoking. So rare that I felt like more than 100 Transformers exist on Cybertron.

    Is it symmetrical because it’s transformable? Seems like a strange way to get crushed.

    Also for a head up and full disclosure,
    I think they are probably selling this to raise a little capital to help finish some other projects like there tetra seekers. Is seems from their post that some people who pledged to support backed out after the fact (don't pledge to crowd funds you don't plan to support people!) I wonder if these were originally intended to be little throw away extras.
    Either way I'll buy one for my overlord to stomp on

    Need to wonder if the seekers are being put before or after their recently announced Robotech stuff.

    I prefer them to release their uncrushed Pipes.
