    Huh... I didn't expect to see prototypes. I think it looks better than the render. He looks too wide in the render.

    because they might prefer the smoother animation model look

    Isn't XTBs Scrapper only a render at this point?

    Because their first renders weren’t actually theirs. They took the tenders from New Age’s Devastator and just changed the proportions on the legs a bit. Everything else about it was copy and paste.

    It’s ironic that adult toy collectors act like children. It’s toxic and one of the reasons I feel this niche is dying. Reasons why Dalianjj, Ibot or other company reps don’t come to TFW really anymore. You get vectron labs trying to be transparent about what’s going on and it’s only met with criticism. Few ppl here truly know what it takes to build a project: from planning, to design, to practical application. They still seem committed to seeing this through and have admitted to not knowing what they’ve fully got themselves into, but they’re learning and are resilient. That in itself deserves applause.

    When their past employees chime in and tell us that they've been fully paid for all the work they did then Vectron can get the benefit of the doubt. Until then I don't care.

    So like...why didn't they show this earlier? Doesn't it take more effort to reverse half of the image and put it over the other half instead of just posting the image? Am I following this correctly? Also, they have zero right brushing off a naive mistake when they are the designers and have made nothing but naive mistakes since the project's inception. Unless they are saying their new designers/business partners made a naive mistake, in which case, way to fucking go throwing them under the bus. They're called Robotnik Studios. Pissing off Sonic fans is a misstep that can be very costly.

    They, immediately after saying this, say far too many words and show a bunch of renders of shit.

    I can't believe what i'm saying but i'm praying for X-Transbots to release their limbs so they can bury even further this dumpster fire. All of the work from the designers reduced to nothing, wow.

    imagine the cost of creating these text walls is being passed to customers.

    It's not naive, it's clumsy. Better than the last guy, sure, but still amateur hour.
