    I copied it from one of IDW's comics art work (used a lot of pics from the "lost and found" spotlight to be honest) its not like Process or I own the design or something. Just merely our inturpretation

    i do like the pistol though, but i prefer process's design for kups gun

    all the little molded lines and such kinda make it look cluttered

    Just use ARmored core weapons set for those; they are perfect for Alt.

    Haha, I know you told me that.

    But there is nothing wrong with a little more companies releasing weapons. The AC stuff is like $10 a gun.

    We're all using the same basis for our weapons. I would be thrilled if igear's turn out to be inexpensive and higher quality, but so far the sculpting on these doesn't look nearly as good as their recent work.

    That's true. It should be less expensive then Shapeways, since its not prototype.

    If you have a current POL at BBTS, then Kup will probably cost you ~$5 less than a retail one. With the combined shipping, he'd probably cost just under a dollar extra to ship. Saves you the trip and a couple of bucks.

    Im curious to see how they price it, seeing how the kup heads were 15

    but then again there price for their legends toys were also around that price point so maybe they have found a better production facility

    looks very nifty. may pick it up. Though, i'm giving Perceptor Kup's rifle now and i've given Kup ROTf Brawn's guns, so yea. I ordered the Igear head the moment i saw the hasbro one, which i didn't like (plus my hasbro head was loose).

    Look sweet, but if they don't store/conect in alt mode I will be passing on them, I hate left over parts.

    Exactly, I get more excited about them doing things that make good figures great and great figures better.

    I think the Kup pistols process did are perfectly adequate and there's already a couple of decent versions of Perceptor's IDW weapons out there so I'll probably give this set a miss.

    It is nice to see more things like this though.

    I will never understand TF fans. In rare moments when they give us characters in scale, everybody complains. Look how nice the minibots look with the deluxes, why in the hell do some people want an ultra or deluxe sized Powerglide?
