Well, I want Megatron V2, but I'm not sure that's who they'll release. Galvatron would be a very good release too, but I just like Megatron better even though they're the same guy. I'm looking forward to Ultra Magnus as well, but I want the next big release to be a Con.
I've never bought a third party Transformer before, but Quakewave has me on the fence. I'm trying to avoid going down that road, but yeah I could see Rex fitting in with the MP's. I'm also looking at this: SXS-R01 - Continuously Variable - Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories SXS There's a picture of him standing just about a head shorter than MP-12. I don't believe it. |

well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course... but i agree with hicks, its hard to see how a fan of transformers in general, or more specifically, predaking, wouldn't like what they have done with feral rex.
(Fembot not included, and i dont think there are definite colors yet, but these are official picks.) honestly, its probably going to go down as one of the most awesome collectable hunks of plastic ever created. now that i have mp soundwave and his minions in hand, and ft quakewave, the two mmc projects: feral rex and hexatron are at the top of my anticipation list. word on hexatron is they are going to remove the pink highlights and changed the wings back to the original G1 color. looks freaking awesome. love me some mmc.

I wouldn't say you're missing anything he's basically the same except for the paint job. I think Sideswipe is the better looking car, but Red may have him beat in bot mode. Red Alert is no slouch, his car mode is good but some people can't over the fact that he's a Fire Chief's car. I went back and forth with the decision on which one to get. I initially said I would get Red and then I switched to Sideswipe, but I waited because of paint issues. I didn't want to spend almost $100 on something with bad paint.

honestly, its probably going to go down as one of the most awesome collectable hunks of plastic ever created. The combined photo makes it look like a power ranger megazord. I am glad it is to your liking, and the way you are promoting it might actually get people to buy it. Hopefully it does well in sells, and MMC might eventually make something that I like.

A bull? Is the trouble that the Transformer is an intact male or that he's bovine? The whole bovinae subfamily actually seems pretty conductive to being Transformers compared to some other species that have been selected in the past. Not that it matters, but what other species do draw the "acceptance" line at?
What about pill bugs? Giant ammonites? Rabbits? Penguins? What about Transformers that represent two rather unrelated species that are conjoined into a singular freakish form? As far as oddball ideas go beastformers got nothing on the ludicrous shit that came from the Pretenders or the weirdass headmaster/powermaster crap the Japanese cartoons spawned. |

Well, finally put my new TRU MP-10 and MP-09 with the rest of my MPs... man do they ever look good. I thought I'd keep my Faith Leader but wow, does he ever look like a wimp now.
I do still like the mold so I will keep my trusty old TRU 20th Anniversary Prime, but yeah... might be putting ol' Faithy on the selling block. I used to have a lot of iGear stuff, but now it looks like it's only going to be Hench, Cogz (when he comes out... haven't decided on the non-Season 1 Mini Warriors yet), and MAYBE Delicate Warrior. Maybe. Oh man, these pics DO look really good. I haven't been paying attention but maybe I should be... I kind of wrote him off because of cost/size... Not sure if I've got room for him.

As a kid, I lost interest in transformers when beastformers came out, and never had the slightest interest in the others mentioned. Maybe that is why I am not interested in this particular MMC figure, but I do like Maketoys giant (which I prefer over Hercules), and I am starting to accept the shin guards of fansproject (stunticons).

I should've pre-ordered the MMC Preds when the price was lower but oh well even at full price they still look phenomenal. I liked the HOS series but not enough to buy the figures.
What I like is that the MMC Preds can look good next to either MP's OR CHUGs. |
