    This is the height of irony for me:
    Hasbro/Takara/Paramount sunk a ton of money into these movies (and the related toys).

    But since 2007, I haven’t spent a dime on any of the movies or their movies (and movie toys)... in fact, I’ve re-sold just about all I’ve had.

    Now, these two Movie Hot Rods appear, and I’m ready to shell out $100 for each... just because how completely awesome they look... and Hasbro/Takara/Paramount aren’t going to see any of that money.

    And given how garbage the story/writing/directing/etc. in the movies are, I don’t feel bad at all about it.

    I have seen all the movies but only to watch the transformers and some of the USA cool military equipment! I really don't pay too much attention to the story or the propaganda...

    I watch the Transformers live action movies because I am a human being, and I have the freedom to peruse whatever content I please without judgment.

    Now with that aside, I started fantasizing about DX9 x Unique Toys just producing an entire segment of these MP/HA hybrids. I'd go bonkers for a DOTM Dino and AOE Stinger done to this style! I'm also echoing the choir interested in a MP Crosshairs of sorts, these groups must have the technology to make a decent trenchcoat.

    They do?? Oh i did not knew that. I thought it was like "We do not care which Character the Fans want, just let us Start with this one"

    Also concerning this: I was not able to reach DX9 or UT at Facebook.
    I do not know if they have read my Question about the T-Beast Line
    (Because i asked for a T-Beast Starscream in the Future), but they did not respond.
    It is very hard get in connection with them.

    Then Somebody with good Connection tell them...
    that everybody wants the entire Movie Line :D 
    Because from what i read, that is correct. Many want Drift, Megatron, Sentinel and even the Dinobots.

    I also did not like the Dinobots very much, BUT Swoop (2 Head Bird) was very awesome, i would die for a 3rd P Figure with Crossbow as Weapon.

    It's a business after all! They have to take care of their customers.

    And as strange as their decisions may appear to be, they don't made them without a proper market research...

    The Hasbro toy doesn't do this guy justice. This version and the other version does. I didn't like the look of this guy before but now I can see how cool he actually is.

    IMO, if this it's shorter and cheaper than TFEVO's i might bite this.


    However, i'll support TFEVO too, they have a lot of potential.

    For options, we went from having only a retool to select from to two brand spanking new figures to anticipate.

    Upgrade indeed.

    Per figure hype tradition, I got carried away as usual and made myself a new 1368 x 912 desktop wallpaper

    You'll preach no such evil in the presence of La Hire who is Fire! Remove this message at once for going against the interests of the DX9 and UT overlords /s!

    Ha except I can’t really be a traitor when tfevo’s was public knowledge long before this. If anything, I’m staying loyal to the figure who first stole my heart.
    In all honesty, the TFEvo one just has the aesthetic that better suits my taste.
