Keldroc posted:Some new Function X figures teased by Fansproject. Left to right: Hardhead, Apeface, Highbrow. Well Hasbro is already going to release a Hardhead, it's been confirmed in that leaked list from last October. Highbrow is not only possible but they released the HFTD Highbrow repaint in the Generations GDO line. Apeface I'd love since Hasbro seems to be ignoring the Monsterbots and is probably the safest bet. Seriously the Prime Predacons/Terrorcons have been the most attention they've gotten in awhile and most of those molds were pretty weak(legion Abominus who wasn't even colored like the OG Abominus).

So, Age of Extinction then. Thematically interesting and some intriguing new characters but gently caress me, it's such a tedious chore to watch. Even in IMAX it felt like being thrown into a washing machine on full spin with a bunch of nuts, bolts and ammo casings for nearly 3 hours (though I swear it was actually nearer to 3 weeks - jinkies did it drag in places). Still, if we accept SMG's belief that nothing is ever put on screen without thought, consideration or meaning then I will say I dug the Ultra Magnus cameo/homage. And I liked how the very first thing Galavtron says upon gaining full control of himself was to urge his brothers to rise up and break their chains. It fit with Prime calling him soulless - the godless Commie bastard boogeyman that haunts American dreams, even now.

Spiderdrake posted:I'm kinda hoping to find one at a reasonable price at TFCon. Been thinking about mistake last year, not picking up Code when he is less than buying a decent looking G1 version. What is the best one of the lot, not-Weirdwolf? I am looking to sell my Fansproject Code for like $80 shipped in the US if you (or anyone else) is interested.

Keldroc posted:A bunch of this is hearsay, so maybe someone can correct me if they know better No one really knows because it was an undisclosed out of court settlement. It's a pretty safe bet that hasbro caved on some things, and the two agreed that a Jetfire with ____ qualities would not cause another lawsuit, though. Though the TF fandom has managed over the last year to turn it into "Hasbro kicked their rear end and the case was laughed out of court."

Question: Is there an image of Generations Brainstorm's Headmaster in... head mode? I remember Hasbro being real iffy on Headmasters because they didn't want kids to end up with headless toys. In RID recently they referred to a character as a Headmaster, and another robot folded off of his head like a helmet. I'm wondering if that's what Brainstorm's gonna be like. The photos look like the Headmaster just folds over and his face is on the back of the upper body, but it makes me wonder if there's a secondary head somewhere.

I bet that sixth Fansproject Dinobot is an Ankylosaurus. That way they can do a set of Dinoforce redecos that combine! Or not, but whatever it is, I'm all for more Dinobots. Planet X Caelus (not-Swoop) was pretty good, but I think these guys will be replacing him and FOC Grimlock on my Classics shelf. Now if only someone would make a decent replacement for the godawful FOC Shockwave, I'd be all set.
