    Nice, but like others I was expecting to see Giant completed in hand.

    Hmm, is that black? Needs more purple, and I don't like those tampo designs.

    Before I was full force for getting Giant. Now, I'm feeling kinda iffy, and wishing I went With Hercules instead. Hopefully my mind will be clear again after some pictures of these guys in green.

    Looking cool. I wish Giant got updates as often as Hercules. If there are barely any pre-orders up for these two it's going to take a while for the green ones to come out. Which is good for me because I no money right now lol.

    These are lovely.

    @G.I. Eddie,

    Don't worry the green set will have all black drums, booms, plows and shovels only;)

    looks pretty neat. doesn't look like everything aligns very well though, hopefully that's just the result of a bad transformation.

    still not digging the yellow :D

    Looks like a team Graple, Erector & Hauler would belong too.

    They aren't trailers. They're portable generators like you see in real construction sites. A nice touch, in my opinion.

    Seconded. Bought Hercules and I'll gladly pick up this new mold in G2 colors. Though perhaps that's unintentional and maketoys is really trying to homage one of the original diaclone colorschemes. But It gets me for 90s nostalgia. That makes me feel old.

    Bring on the Preorders!

    Orange is also an option.

    I must say that the designs for these are fantastic and full of G1 goodness. The tow-behind generators are a nice touch. Looks like paint not stickers, bonus!! the yellow though... maybe it's because I never owned a G2 yellow Devy, just not drawing my interest in.

    How much are these guys? Hopefully less expensive than the Hercules figures; I can't justify spending $100 on one deluxe/voyager figure. Green or yellow, I need these guys badly in my collection.

    Looks good but it feels like Maketoys lost a lot of momentum to TFC. I remember when the complete proto of Giant came out a lot of folks were pining for Giant. Now Hercules will be complete soon and we've yet to see the rest of Giant colored. My how the tables have turned.

    i have to agree. from a PR perspective, they dont really release a lot of updates and it may translate into lower sales due to less hype.

    someone was asking about the lack of purple on this version, the only purple on these two bots are the dev hands, the individual bot feet, and some on their codpiece. none of it shows in the new photos photos.

    Agreed. I find it strange too how the Giant is impressive in combined form, but doesnt stand up to any sort of G1 accuracy in single bot mode. Plus anyone that owns something from FANSPROJECT knows their plastic isnt great but weak. Hercules's plastic is totally superior and will certianly out last the MAKETOY/FB plastic.TFC's Hercules is enormous and towers over the Autobots and Deceptions as he should.

    Maketoys is not FP!!!!!!!!
    you'd be better off comparing the G2 prime trailer, which I'm told is excellent quality, QC Head issues aside.
