    Looks amazing! One of TFC's best-yet. Shame about the lack of pink though, that's my only issue... the pink was one of the best things about Piranacon.

    I would not mind if the purple went down the back more.

    But I DO prefer the more muted colors TFC is using.

    The new pics help show the transformation. I am seriously entertaining the possibility of painting a few bits purple. All depends on hinges, and what parts slide/rub. (Can't change the main color, that's just asking for trouble----but adding some purple may just be feasible----as in, would last more than 2 transformations).

    I wonder if the guns combine. So far the colors don't match, and Overbite's should be purple anyways.

    I realized THAT is a primary thought for my color desires. GUN MODE. Overbite was basically a giant purple gun in combined mode. Purple guns are fairly common among 'con gestalts. I still want that look in the new one. But with both TFCOverbite's own self and his gun lacking purple, it's very hard to do.

    I really hope that Nautilator is a good gun. I got the reissued version of Piranhacon a couple of years back, and Nautilator is just awful in any mode other than Lobster mode, pretty much. The lobster legs get in the way of all of his modes pertaining to Piranhacon, and the robot mode was kind of silly looking.

    I liked Nautilator as a gun with the legs gripping the arm. He sucks as a limb though...

    If nobody told me it was TFC, my guess would be UT. And that's a good thing for me :)

    I've been burned on TFC before, so I'm holding off.

    It looks spectacular, though. If reviews show that this set is as good as it looks, I'll totally bite. Piranacon is the last completely missing combiner on my wish list (wouldn't mind redo's on a couple like Superion though...).

    This set is shaping up really nicely; not sure I want to go in on another $$$$ combiner. Pretty tempting though.

    Agreed, but I will admit that I wished Cyberjaw used more of that pink palette (instead of the red) akin to Bigbite (and this is coming from someone that usually doesn't care for the color pink).

    If this thing is the same height as Ordin, I may have to bite. They seem to have a very similar aesthetic going on. If not, I'll probably pass mainly because I'm tired of having a bunch of mish mashed combiners, and you know, because TFC.

    these are looking really nice, I love the color updates as much as the articulation updates, really ready for all the surprises, TFC has def come along way with their combiners

    The more pictures I see, the better it looks. I wonder when we're going to get to see Mentarazor's colored final product (Or close to it).

    This is honestly the first Third Party Combiner I'm having trouble talking myself out of. The colors, the style, the sculpt......it's AMAZING!!!

    I thought the color choices for the first two figures were acceptable but then I saw Cyberjaw's altmode scheme. That settled it for me. I am buying them as they look like great figures, but will be definitely repainting them like the bashes from earlier in the thread in their G1 colors:

    I would say Herc was their first good effort...and Prometheus...and Hades...Take your pick...

    This is too good for UT. I do like Ordin's combined mode, but whilst the individual bots are serviceable, they are no where near this detail and as seemingly intricate (with exception of troll) , also not a scramble city, which gives more brownie pts to TFC.

    Look marvellous, but I don't mind how they are atm either.
