They ought to do a Hotspot repaint. And I'd love to see a Hook repaint of Grapple.

 

I will wait for the official one, like Inferno's proportions more.

 

Artfire looks great. I'm definitely picking that one up.

No offense, I'm not directing this comment at you, I've seen this request a few times now and don't understand it. There is nothing stopping MMC from doing this, but I don't think it those would sell very well. First of all, Hot Spot and Hook look nothing like Inferno and Grapple. Aside from the fact that they are similar types of vehicles, the make and models of those vehicles as well as the robot modes are very different. Second, Hot Spot and Hook, if they are ever produced should be able to combine with other bots. Those types of repaints belong in CHUG, not in Masterpiece. Just my 2 cents.

OB

 

OX has had a Hot Spot/Defensor in the works for ages, they just haven't revealed anything "officially" official yet.

Artfire is cool, but I'm really hoping for a Hauler. The idea of an ex Constructicon is interesting.

 

The official stuff does look amazing, but these dudes look different enough and good enough for me to get them also

Kojin looks great. The Targetmaster especially.

 

Thanks for sharing godothislate  

Here are the photos again in higher resolution






Plus a few more.
Colour matching is spot on. G1 fans like myself will love this.








I hear that the targetmaster may still go through some tweaks

 

Interesting. I'm really impressed with what I've seen of it, my only real concern being the thin struts on the inner thighs.

 

Is this a color scheme common or at least occasionally used in some country? (My assumption would be Japan of course)
Cause it just looks like a prototype to me.

 

Awesome. I'll have MT's Inferno, Takara's Grapple and MMC's Artfire. That should be enough differentiation.

 

That's the plan, man, that's the plan!

 

That target master is too legit to quit.. I can't wait for this set and hopefully some head/target masters down the line from them .. Not to mention their defensor

 

Looks awesome  

 

when does this come out?

 

It's not a Headmaster.

 

i'd love a blue hotspot repaint since i have the generations versions of hotspot, grapple, and hotspot #2 all using the inferno mold. i know a lot of people love gdo hotspot.

 

Ox is making an actual Hotspot (and Defensor). Why ask for a repaint of this?

 

gdo is my favorite hotspot
