    Despite how AWESOME the combiner looks, I really hate the head sculpts of all the individual bots.

    I have to say that while most of the headsculpts satisfy me, I find the last two have taken a bizarrely unrecognizable turn. I've browsed Bonecrusher and Mixmaster pictures JUST to make sure I wasn't talking trash without basis, but yeah... There isn't a whole lot in those sculpts to tie back to what the characters have looked like for years. Sure, I know they shouldn't be identical... but still close or touching on those signature aspects, right?

    Absolutely amazing. Tis great time to to be a transformers fan. Really hope that the shoulder wheels on Mixmaster can be put down 180 degrees though. Other than that these are absolutely mint. Bravo and bring it on!!! :D

    I'll hate LoL, how bout the parts forming of the not mixmaster? instead of the barrel just being a barrel it breaks apart and becomes 6 guns? he looks a little silly IMHO

    Neckbreaker looks... busy... also, if anyone is a gamer from the old days, looks like the bulldozer from double dragon where that arnold schwartzenegger looking dude was on top. LoL but nice updating of to a classic, however im still going for giant.

    Holy shit TFC. These look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD. I've been skeptical and have been waiting to buy exgraver but I can't hold off anymore. God I want these so bad. Maybe even 2 of each.

    Even though I don't plan on buying Hercules, Mad Blender and Structor are making that decision even more difficult. I may buy those 2 if nothing else.

    Some great pictures posted, thanks. Now I can wrap up the rest of the concepts for decals for the rest of the figures. =)

    Notes from TFC-Toys' original posts:
    - Neck breaker and Structor both have functional hydraulic pipes.
    - Neck breaker has two alternate modes for feet .
    - Structor has been added in C-joints in testshot and final production, while these prototypes haven't.

    Isn't this the first time we have seen Mad Blender in robot-mode? Or at all except that cgi of the vehicle and leg-mode?
    Shouldn't the news feed be updated with that info?
    Or maybe I missed when pics were shown of him or maybe the news post will be updated to include info about him.

    Shiiiiiiiiit. More pictures to make my wallet bleed.

    Not too thrilled with Not Mixmaster due to the barrel looking odd when split, but I'm sure I can come up with a configuration that satisfies me.

    Meanwhile, Necky and Structor look the best of the bunch in robot mode. Definitively the best and the ones I'm looking forward to.

    FUCK YOU TFC.....But I say that with all the love in the world.

    You made a Devastator that is the thing that wet dreams are made of. But what did you have to do after that? You had to go and make 6 bots that you don't want to lose in combined mode. I have never, ever, ever, ever had a combiner that I wanted the individual bot modes just as much as the combined mode. I can no longer say that. Oh well I hope those connection points are solid because this guy is going to be going back and forth a lot. That or I hope for that box set at a lowered price so I can obtain a second Hercules.

    I knew there was a reason I wanted to see MIXMASTER most. That guy is way beyond anything I could have imagined. I knew the barrel would split in half but for what? I had no guess. To see that barrel break into 8 pieces/guns plus his other guns, the guy is loaded to the tits.

    It's a good day today we finally have seen everything...except Dr Crank and the mod that was mentioned being done, I hope it is a way to fold down that crane.

    It turns out creating Hercules piece by piece actually assisted in making a figure for the fans with fan input.

    Good on you TFC!!! and thank you for being the first to make what the fans have been begging for since G1. Infact i think TFC just made the most ultimate combiner in TF history.
