EchoTF/DMY Studios Trailcutter/Hoist trailer

Re-uploaded pics:

 

Wonder what those will cost. What else does he need after the new head and this, articulated hands?

 

I can't imagine it will be too much. These seem pretty simple, and it doesn't look all that big.

 

Hmm. Looks pretty good. Need better pictures, though.

Also, aren't they a little mistransformed?

 

I like the feet

 

Looks good as far as height...but l'm not sure about a trailer...how'll Hoist you know tow vehicles...could've probably just been a extended bumper...not trying to knock the designers mine you...just sharing my opinion...

 

Not bad at all but it's really sad that they need 2 different upgrade sets to make them right, when you think about it

 

I think they look awesome! I don't collect classics too much any more but I really like the first pic.

 

Very cool! I like the look of this though they seem vaguely familiar.  

The feet turning into a tow-able flatbed is a neat idea. Strikes me as Classics Bumblebee/Cliffjumper-ish with their tow-able jet ski add-on accessory, so why not?

 

I could never get into these figures. Too small with legs that are completely hollow. And no upgrade could ever fix that these guys are no bigger than Bumblebee in alt mode. I sincerely wish a 3rd party would tackle these guys properly. :/

 

Forcefield hands!

 

Shoes?

 

Take my money

 

Scale died a long time ago in TF figures, even 3rd parties don't adhere to scale.

These guys are very good figures and the fixation we've developed on TFW about weight and hollowness skews the focus away from good figures which these are.

That being said, I am interested to see what their new heights will be with this add-on set.

 

Think of them like Suzuki Samurais small but rugged offroader

 

You know it's scary when the news breaks before the designer can even start talking about it...sheesh...be sure to check my Facebook page, Timesync your Radicons did inspire this one.  

 

I guess it's my fault then...

 

Welcome to the Internet age.   Will do, and thanks for the shout out! This is turning to be a very cool project!

Nice, really digging how the new feet incorporate into the figures in both alt and bot modes. They even seem to have a bit of that all-important ankle tilt too. Wonder if they'll color match Hoist to both the Hasbro and Takara figures (Trailcutter's black shouldn't be too much of an issue with either toy).

 

I'm interested in this set. They look to add decent new height to these two figures and, more importantly, blend in nicely in both mods.

 

On Hoist, a trailer makes sense, even if it's a tad small to be a functional trailer (maybe a boot to lift the front wheels of a towed car though)....

But for Trailcutter? It honestly looks off. I think the feet addons for him should be tweaked such that they replace the weapon the toy came with. So it makes a canopy thing like that "gun," but when you transform it forms up the feet much the same as the Hoist version.

Least that's my
