    Yeah it’s pretty unclear, sounds like they might just tell us what’s happening next year, or maybe they’ll just be out next year

    I’ve heard a few complaints that these guys are out of scale but I think they fit in nicely. Not 100% perfect but they’ve gotta make a few allowances for the combined mode to be as big as planned I guess. In any case I don’t think they look out of place in group shots!

    Does anyone have suggestions/links for flight stands that work well for displaying these guys in alt mode? Any ideas are appreciated.

    Nice picture. I think the jets fit in nicely. Is it just me, or of the seven robots in this photo, the Prime seems the least polished/balanced? Sweet hunchback, Optimus.

    I have a feeling that the last two arial bots will not be out until next year. There are a ton of figures in the pipe line for Fans Toys: Wild Rider, Brawn, Astrotrain, Beachcomber, and Dragstrip. We saw a prototype of their Seaspray 2.0. If we are lucky we will get last Stunticon by the end of the year but I also doubt that. Dragstrip is not scheduled until November. Not to mention they are re-releasing Kup.

    Fans Toys is never in a rush. I would not be surprised if the last Stunticon Dead End was releases at end of 1st quarter 2021 since he comes with all the extra bits.

    ... only because the Bee is, more or less, viewed from a directly front forward position. I mean, he still looks gangly but that angle hides all of his poorly designed panels.

    True. And I zoomed in on Hound’s neck to remind myself why I didn’t make that buy.

    The neck on takara hound is really a non issue. I initially thought the same but it does sit flush onto the bonet perfectly fine

    I'd %100 recommend that anyone in this hobby for clever engineering atleast check out hound. The legs are one of the smartest transformations I've seen

    Agree.

    Hound is fine. Er, well “fine,” as in he looks great; but the materials are crap.

    It’s that Bumble Bee that looks like a steaming pile of garbage. Those legs. Those feet. That terrible terrible mouth-agape smile, and the horrendous chest and gaps around it.

    I have no idea how that figure ever got the go-ahead from TT.

    Transformation wasn't too bad. Order matters for getting tabs over or under other tabs. Really nice figure. Just had to take time with small folding panels so I didn't scratch paint which I'm worried about after nicking silverbolt's crotch in transformation for not having clearance.

    Never knew I needed this! Was looking for a good flightstand for Quietus and these might just do the job perfectly! Thanks for sharing.
