    I am unable to not see Technobots here... And I love it! THIS is going to be my 3P Computron! As mentioned above, Scattershot is the 2 arms with Strafe as the hip/thighs. This looks like nice progression to their Fire King (which is awesome, btw)! Look Ma, no parts forming! WJ, please hook us up with an official Puzzler next!

    such a shame people won't give WeiJiang a shot with a totally unique unofficial transformers product.

    I think it looks pretty cool.

    I won't call them Technobots. I will call them whatever they named them. :)

    Some of these bots are like 90% mouth. Hopefully they redo the faces before launch. This is definitely a take on combiners that I've been wanting to see for a few years now.

    Interesting. I was hoping for an OS Warbotron KO, but I don't mind actually being able to save some money for once. LOL

    I dont really know what to make out of this. It does look cool (even with those feet), but on the other hand you wouldnt call it Computron.

    I think its an honest offer and if I wasnt focused on my G1 collections right now I would defo get it. Even as a stand alone.

    100x into this if it's built solid, I hope the only "Computron" in the final product is even more vague than what's in these promos

    do it in cold-palette colours, do it for meeeeeeeeee~

    There are no words. Only this:

    I don't think they need to be changed completely, they need to DO have their face proportions resized.

    To be fair that's Toyworld's fault not Weijaing persay. lol

    This is prob gonna make folks interested in Fire King now which is cool. Must mean this team is made by the same designer as the one who made Fire King's design too. neato!

    Am I the only one who thought Nosecone's alt mode resembles the GoGo Drill from Boukenger?

    That being said, I really like the original take on the Technobots here. The drawings have a very 80s/90s kind of look going on, they remind me of some of PLEX's designs.

    I'm very much liking this. It doesn't scream Technobots and Computron at a glance to my eyes but I can see them in the designs after a few moments. I also love that Wei Jiang is branching out significantly from oversized/retooled KOs.

    What I like about this combiner team is that it's not a design that panders to Transformers fans in that these designs, while inspired by the Technobots, aren't trying to be simply the G1 Technobots one step removed. By that, I mean, when I look at Maketoys and Warbotron's Computron efforts, they're unmistakably Computron and they're meant to sink the teeth right into TF fans. This combiner team by WJ is far enough removed so that someone could simply appreciate the designs, be a fan of transforming robot designs, be a fan of combining robots, and buy it whether or not they want a 3P Computron.

    I'm eager to see some coloured samples.

    Robots don't look like the technobots

    Combiner doesn't resemble the technobots

    Vehicles resemble technobots.

    It would be easy to repurpose or customize this into something new. It reminds me of the stsrcat defensor, which had very little in common with the Protectobots (but more than this does)

    I would not have known this was a 'computron' if the title didn't tell me so.

    Thank goodness there's so many people who are making multiple posts in this thread to tell us how shitty this is and how they aren't going to buy it.

    My only problem is no seeming outward shoulder movement or biceps.
