    The only things "Ares" brings up on BBTS are the Marvel hero & DC villain (and Kratos).

    Well, I can't say I mind too much if there's no preorder yet. Perhaps it'll give time for more info on Ares to come out.

    Even with no preorder, I'm ready to see another figure or something.

    Wonder if TFC will keep these at the same price point as the Herc and Uranos members....

    Better not be any higher if they want to compete... I'm considering this, but if they raise prices, I'll be tempted to back out. If anything, TFC's prices need to go down.

    If they REALLY wanted to both lower prices and anger people, they could sell just the bare bots at a lower price. The gestalt head/hands/feet would be in a separate package that costs as much as a sixth bot.

    "See, look, we're only charging 90% as much per figure as we did for Hercules and Uranos!"

    Heh, didn't even realize. Not sure, but MMC's might have a screw as well.

    Didn't notice it til you pointed it out but yeah that does look bad. Screw hole around the jaw is not so bad but the one at the snout sorta stands out.

    MMC lion head doesn't have screw holes though the tiger one does at the jaw on both sides. Doesn't look as bad though.

    Scared me there man. I thought the was infront of the face... :lol 

    For a second there I actually thought of buying the RL's masterpiece.

    There might be fillers included. I don't know but I never used the ones that came with Herc. Those spots don't bother me.

    Man I didn't even notice how terrible the hands were or the screw holes in plain view. Geez they seriously couldn't think of a smarter way to mold the head?

    I've been hating on these hands since pictures surfaced. They are the worst thing about this guy. These hands are straight out G1, lol. TFC can't be bothered to do something more here, really?

    Car Crash and T-Bone have much better hands than this guy! Current market Transformer Prime toys have better hands than this guy.
