    I for one have been fully aware of this possibility, & wouldn't mind, as it'd give me the time to track down the money for him. It has been said Giant is WAY off (which I interpret as likely meaning 'after the G2 Trailer').

    I decided to leave the drama of Hercules behind me. I am glad to see the supporters happy and excited but unfortunately this is one dance I am not attending. Its nice but not $600 plus shipping nice (and the whole last two figures thing lol)

    The real deciding factor was the insider that hinted at a new Predaking that is not TFC.

    I will have Maketoys Giant join my Classics Bruticus that will be joinded by FP Menasor and either FP or MT Predaking. I may not get the tallest combiners but I am happy with Bruticus' height and to have the other 3 match him will make for a better display at the end.


    Enjoy the TFC ride. I will live vicariously through you all until its my turn to party with the FP and MT stuff.

    Alrighty. Hopefully the MT stuff turns out just as well in its own way then. I love how we're getting so many options for Devastators at this time.

    Though I have to say, the Headstrong TFClub showed art of at TFcon was pretty awesome. If FP's indeed doing Predaking though, well, that'll be a way tougher choice, given I somewhat justify Devastator because being 6 giant construction vehicles, I like to think of him as the most gargantuan of the combiners.

    However, with Predaking, he also deserves to tower over everyone else because he's Predaking. But I have an irrational "Buy everything FP puts out" bug in me. So I have no clue what I'll do in this case...

    I invented the price? No that was the masses that shouted they would easily pay 100 per figure. I would have bit at 80 never 100

    And if you have a smart ass comment to make to me feel free to do it in pm where I may rebuttle without getting banned.

    Venksta already said FP isn't the group doing Predaking. Going further & saying that he knows 4 other complanies (I think MakeToys is one, & he discounts his own: Renderforms).

    Actually Venksta said " I never said FP I am with 5 companies"

    He never discredited FP. But it is most likely MT (basing it off of the fact they made a combiner already) and to me the MT designs are that of FP so they are one in the same in my eyes.

    i believe he ment you invented the panic over the last 2 figures not showing up, as it wasnt an issue for most until you pointed out

    Venksta also said FP isn't MakeToys.

    I went to the thread to quote Venksta, & Transbot, & Venksta's response regarding Predaking:

    I had planned to just edit my last post, but it was replied to while I was searching for my post in that thread w/ the quotes.

    The actual rumor, started at BotCon, which Venksta all but confirmed in another thread (in my interpretation of his post), is that FP is doing a Menasor.

    From the now closed War of Devastator thread:

    Oh that one I take full credit for :) 

    I find it odd that all we got are one complete figure 3 prototypes (one due shortly) and 2 non existant bots.

    I still stand by the fact that funds ran out on this project and they need one bot to feed the next ect ect. I personally don't think Herc will go uncompleted but I do think those last two bots havent even seen resin yet.


    All in all the ride has begun and I won't rain on this parade any longer. Doing so will make me look the fool when I buy the eventual box set release at a reduced rate lol
