In other semi unrelated news, I just received my Magic Square Menasor bot set and it's pretty fantastic engineering wise. It's another nail in the coffin to me that there was any hope of the skeleton will turn into a trailer the same size as Road King's. I just don't see how, Road King is gonna look janky with two different trailers, but it's no bother really as I'm still 100% in even if I never transform the skeleton, Road King will still have his trailer and I won't have to transform a possible huge P.I.T.A. skeleton to do so.

 

Mentioning PITA just reminds me that there is no Predaking yet for FT to start and never finish.

 

I am pretty much out of the MP and FansToys game but jesus I just wanna get this menasor over and done with.

 

I don't even care about the trailer, I just want Bandit 

 

Moved out of my parents' and into my girlfriend's apartment. Once again, I'm betting that im married before this is finished. Lmao

 

Probably will be on your third wife by the time it comes out.

 

It will be released just in time to be displayed at my funeral!!!

 

I can see how Fanstoys has really made a mark with the quality of their product and mostly producing the 1st generation Transformers Hasbro (Takara Tomy) has not made in their Masterpiece line. I can’t speak for all collectors but in 1984 when Transformers was first broadcast on television I was 7 years old. If you do your math that makes me 45 today. My point is the people who first appreciated transformers are getting older. Additionally, of Hasbro (Takara Tomy) 1st generation transformers Hasbro (Takara Tomy) is least likely to produce the combiners in our lifetime.

Here (with the combiners) is where I believe Fanstoys is really missing out on an opportunity.

Fanstoys in my opinion are perfectionist and put a lot of love in their product. However, because they are perfectionist I believe that is why their first two combiners are taking so long. Fanstoys doesn’t want to lose the reputation they have for producing an exceptional product. If Fanstoys doesn’t knock it out the park with these two combiners they lose all their future business being the go to for all transformers other than the combiners. My hope is Fanstoys spends whatever time they need now to work out all the issues they have run into with these combiners and their future combiner products are produced more quickly. I seriously doubt collectors will want to invest 7 years in future combiners.

 

Perhaps JJ and his combiners can be pallbearers so that they can let us down one last time

 

Freakin epic. Quite possibly post of the year.

 

Bury me in the arms of FT fortress maximus

 

The combiner skeleton will transform into a casket

 

Total missed opportunity: Combiner team made up of death and bereavement type characters. A hearse, a cremation furnace, et al. Combines to a giant grim reaper.

hell if they could get the grave digger license they could crossover to that monster truck combiner team I’ve been wanting for nearly 40 years.

Much to think about.

 

Quite possibly my favourite FT transformation, and a refreshing experience after the chess game of Jive.



Really makes me think that Bandit will be a fun one too.

 

What is this Bandit you speak of?

 

I bet they let you down by dropping your casket in front of your family and you tumble out

 

I already saw this episode of coffin flop on corncob TV.

 

We gotta call Spectrum and save Corncob TV

 

OMG COFFIN FLOP

Not kidding, we buried my grandmother today and she would have roared at that skit. Rip nan
