What's it going to take to talk you into jumping in headfirst like me and SOP? Other than , I'm all out of that.

At the mo, nothing really, expect that I'm waiting for the next one to become active as a preorder, for Motormaster, I want to know what the hell FP are calling him, of course, he'll be the most costly of the bunch but hopefully the release of him is a lot later in the year, besides, at the mo, I want to see what Takara going to do with BH toys, mainly the beasts, not keen upon the spiked out BB and Jacky, I just want shiny beasts to go next to my Flame Convoy (not scourge he is Flame Convoy because he is a takara and very nice one who will be appearing in comics!)

i don't even know what is

.....preordered and paid for this bad ass literally just a few minutes ago from Captured Prey! Can't recommend them highly enough! They had CA-09 Car Crash (Breakdown) priced at $59.99 and were the first online site to have him up. Well, when BBTS and TfSource put their preorders up eariler today for $59.99, Captured Prey sent me an e-mail saying they're dropping the price to $57 and refunding me the difference! I'm falling in love with that store! Customer service is 2nd to none! Plus, Priority Mail shipping from them is only $5.85 per Stunticon, while TfSource is trying to charge me $10 and BBTS wants $12.

ANYWAYS........

CA-10 T-Bone (aka: Wildrider) is mine!!!!
2 DOWN, 3 TO GO!

I trust we will be seeing a review on these guys once you get them

OK, I'm broke, well not really but I hope that the others don't come up for pre-order for a little while, because I just pre-ordered T-bone and Takara Generations Ratbat (Scourge repaint/retool) and that's setting me back by £80 odd, plus the postage because its under Kapow's free post min amount! Of course, when the next two go up, I'll wait a day or two to see if the next one in the set goes up for pre-order!

Yessir! Sorry if I seem a bit overly excited in this thread, it's just that the Stunticons (and their personalities) were my ALL TIME favorite combiner team as a kid. And let's face it...I haven't changed a whole hell of a lot since then. But yeah, reviews will be forthcoming as there's no way I'm going to be able to leave these sealed.

Well, I know I am (broke). But if I only made one 3rd party purchase decision all year, it was going to be these FansProject Stunticons. I'll probably have to pass on MasterMind Creations Feral Rex now (Predaking)...*sighs*, as awesome as he looks. Just can't afford to go after all of them. That and I'm already 2/5 robots into TFC's Uranos (Superion) and news just dropped this morning that Silverbolt (Blackbird) will be in stock for most online retailers next week. I'm going to have to put ordering him off until the end of this month (or later) and cross my fingers he doesn't sell out before then.

Congrats on locking in your pre-order for T-Bone!

I'm passing on the NOT Predacons, the only other third party item of interest to me, is the upgrade for Omega supreme to make him more G1 looking!

Combined form: INTIMIDATOR!

I'm really looking forward to laying my hands on these figures, of course, I can't wait to see the form we're all after: INTIMIDATOR in pics and person!

Galvatron wrote:oh man i cant wait to see "not" Motormaster

If he looks anything like this guy, then I'm going to piss my pants....

He won't though, that Motormaster is a custom MP you can check him out and others in the Mixmaster forum.

Only time will tell what he looks like, of course, I'll have to wait a while for my ones to be complete because T-bone will come with Takara's Ratbat that I've ordered and he not due out until May or June but that's plenty of time to save money up for the other members of this group

time for an update, we have pro type images of the combined form and the NOT Motor master truck mode:

that looks promising! thanks for the pics and update SOP

Arrrgh....you beat me to it! Good looking out SOP! And I'm definitely over here! CAN'T WAIT for the next Stunticon to go up for pre-order!!! And I gotta say the panel lining on Motormaster looks pretty clean! Kudos to you, FansProject. Kudos! Probably, without a doubt, the best 3rd party company out there....yep, they still wear the crown!

I terms of figures, I would say FP are the best at least that I guess because I not gone for any other third party figures, but for accessories, the best I seen is Dr Wu, they produced some nice little accessories for figures, example, the blades that my FE Optimus uses or the guns I have him use!

Derailing for a sec., but you can't go wrong with iGear, TFC Toys or MasterMind Creations either!

Scramble City? Anyone?!? You're going to love these pictures SOP!




And yes. That's "Car Crash" and "T-Bone" combined with the FansProject Bruticus combiner kit!

A problem will arise for anyone without Crossfire 2 kits from the looks of things! Still cool!

Why would you say that? I think they're just trying to show us that the connector kit that comes with Motormaster will have the same assembly pattern as the kit that came with Munitioner/Explorer. That and you can scramble city your combiner by adding in FansProject Swindle and Blast Off if that's something you're into!

We don't know for sure, because the connectors are different on the Crossfire 2, one is designed for Explorer from FP (the shuttle/drone) and the other for Vortex Hasbro (helicopter)! I'm guessing that you never gotten a hold of the Crossfire 2 sets, so you not seen the differences between the parts meant for the arms!

I own the Crossfire series...both Munitioner and Explorer. The original run that was first produced by FansProject. And stop for a minute and think about what you're saying, SOP! The connector tabs on Colossus that attach to Hasbros Barricade (Onslaught), whether it be Energon or ROTF wouldn't change any because the mold hasn't changed any. So it doesn't matter if you own the first production run of Crossfire or the second run. It's STILL the same kit mold.

I'm not going to bother arguing about this, it only take us off topic and stuff, we'll just have to wait for Car crash and T-bone to be released and we'll see what we get and how it works out!

Not trying to argue, brother. Just trying to understand what you're saying is all. The 2nd run of Crossfire was produced to sell alongside the re-release of the Energon/ROTF mold when Hasbros Asia Bruticus Maximus was released. Again, it's the same mold..
But, to keep from derailing, I'm going to leave you this awesome picture I ran across showing the scale of Intimidator alongside other 3rd party combiners such as: MakeToys Giant (Devastator), MakeToys Computron (future project), MasterMind Creations Reformatted (Predaking) and FansProjects Colossus (Bruticus).
