    You must be used to being baffled for years now since MP figures have been like that for quite a while.

    The hood over their heads could make up the height difference. I prefer the carbots to be bigger than standard Takara so am pleased but completely understand your point of view

    Not much, they're rather thin fellows too.
    Oof. Yeah, I hope these are not like Streetwise and Locke. :\

    Make a good product, get a good rep. Make products that disappoint, get people expressing anticipatory concern. Pretty sure most of us would love to see these turn out to be great products, as unlikely as that is given the manufacturer.

    edit: This was in response to a @Tazman66gt post that seems to have disappeared.

    If Masterpiece isn't your thing, there are a whole bunch of other threads about Chug, Legends and about every other thing Transformers here for you...move along, nothing to see here.

    I see anyone else coming in here to troll, you're going to earn a thread ban so knock it off.

    I also hate Red Lobster! Not only that, everyone who does like it is a fucktard white night apologist. I'ma just gonna sign up to that Red Lobster forum and tell them all just that! That's how I roll - badass. ;) 

    Anyway - I quite like the tall height of these. Feel like these Decepticons could be big bullies. Unless of course they are on one of the sacred scale charts at carbot standard height - then out with the pitchforks.

    Okay THAT'S true. I completely forgot that when originally drafting my message earlier so thank you for jogging my memory, haha. Again, I have a feeling it'll definitely look better in-hand.

    I put in an order for the pair through BBTS. Still want to see the Omnibots get done first.



    ... Unfortunately.

    Thank goodness for Skids.

    Not many people seemed to have a problem with FT's Stunticons doing the same.

    Add me to the list of those waiting for Dreadwind and Darkwing.

    Everything that guy said. There are only a few stand-out characters post '86, and these are some of them.

    Definitely need a bit of orange.

    Okay, you've made your point... you're not interested in these figures or XTB as a company. I assume you're going to leave this thread alone now seeing as there's nothing of interest to bring you here? Here's a little tip... if you don't like something, don't waste any effort on it.

    Agreed. Not every character, size class or style is to my taste, but I always enjoy watching reviews about figures I don't have any interest in, as it's the only way I'm going to experience them... and occasionally (just occasionally, mind) they might inspire me to take a chance.

    Agree. Out of all the 3P companies, imo only XTB and Badcube have nailed the carbot formula so far. I figured with the re-emergence of the latter, one of them would take a stab at these soon. FT seem to be doing a different scale and aesthetic, so although their figures are good, they're in a different pocket now. And at under $100 the price of these XTB ones works for me... pre-ordered.

    As an aside, I wonder how TMReviews feels about this reveal after he just got Getrightrobot (and must have paid a fair wedge in the process) to customise a pair of MP Wheeljacks into these characters only a month or so back. Those customs are superb, but the alt. modes are both just Stratos variants.

    I can’t wait to get them. They are going to look great with my MS Nemesis Prime and MP Nightbird. The Autocons are forming a team!!!!!
