    So these are geared for MP? This looks awful.

    The proportions, the blockiness, the simplicity...

    CHUG, sure they'd be fine I suppose. But MP? No. Just NO! Yuk.

    These look like they've simply been enlarged for enlargement's sake. I dont see anything attractive from this outside its a relatively obscure character.

    To each their own tho.


    Should I wait for FansToys renders?

    Are they?

    Anything not an original Headmaster that they're making isn't on my radar at all.

    I understand the appeal, but I think this could look much better. The Monster mode does look too much like a robot folded up in the chest area, alongside the big pieces on the shoulders. If the robot mode got a bigger head, I think it could work as it is, but it would probably need a new chest to look completely right.

    Still, it is very cool that the Monsterbots are getting some MP representation, even if the proportions of Repugnus look strange. Doublecross looks excellent, though.

    While MPish size, I really don't see them as being intended for the MP line, as their aesthetics are much different than most 3rd party MP figures.


    I see these are bigger CHUGs that will also fit in an MP collection personally.

    I like the look of this guy, but haven't heard of the Company making him. Anyone know anything about them?

    It's cool to see 3P tackle characters like this.

    Yup, and I'm kinda hoping that this goes the route of multiple companies making this team and having the Monsterbot Wars begin. :lol

    I love seeing these guys get the spot light and overall I think they look great ( but again will skip them as they are MP scale ) but I wish someone would just make the remaining g1 fembots in cartoon accurate forms at a CHUG scale.

    How can we have these guys come out and still have no Moonracer, Firestart ect. I do not know

    Well... It isn't so much a Transformer as it is a "Flip up a new header", but it is cool.

    Very Fansproject-like aesthetics. Just biggerised to a size that can be placed in an MP display.

    Neither is really floating my boat, but the Monsterbots are kinda obscure/B-list so I dunno if someone else will take a crack at 'em. I'll wait and see. No hurry and I don't like these designs enough to jump on from day 1.
