That's a cool enough little feature.

^^ This

This little guy is awesome. I can't look at it without seeing all the visual cues from the G1 minibot toy. Looks great.

The G1 head is awesome.

Really excited for Cosmos and Brawn. They look great and will be excellent additions to my classics collection. The dual face gimmick is cool but the cartoon accurate version is a no-brainer in my opinion. Really trying to pass on the Sharkticon. I know I'll never be able to buy just one.

Cool beans.

I just want to know the damn price already! The previous mini-bots were a pleasant surprise to only be $15 shipped. I can only assume with the increased size comes an increased price. The big question is how much more?

probably get Brawn, I really like the new colour, and that was really all that was holding me back. Not sure about Cosmos, I'll see how much he is, and then see if I can get him cheaper, maybe. Sharkticon is nice enough. Kinda looks like a BWTransmetal or BeastMachines toy, in that it gives the impression of being made for £2 and sold for 10times that. Again, if the price is agreeable enough I might get it.

I was buying anyway but the dual-face just means I'll get 2. Bravo iGear......marketing 101.

Hasbro is just a company. It's the morons running the Transformers division that I hate. And it's not even that I hate them. I hate their one track coroprate minds. I understand theyre main market is kids. But kids werent alive in the 80's. So if youre going to do G1 homages, get it right or dont do it at all !!!

Hasbro needs a collectors divison that's primary focus is adults. One that creates molds not just repaints like Funpub. Hasbro could easily hire the best of the best from I-Gear, TFC, Fansproject, etc. and enter a new endeavor. But it's all about ego so Hasbro will never get off their high horse and admit they dont make the best figures anymore...

I'll stick with the animation head, but I appreciate having a choice. Thanks iGear. Now then, how about some pre-orders please?

You complain about it all the time. It derails almost every conversation about the toys we're talking about. I think we all get it: you don't like Hasbro. You want a collector's line. We all get it. You don't have to repeat it constantly in any thread you post in.
So, yeah. It's annoying. Just make a whole new thread just about hating Hasbro and let other things be discussed elsewhere.

I'm a touch surprised he has an alternate head. Or is it same head switched around Headrobots Blood style?

Ooh, I love the head! Come on, preorders for all three!

I think it's the same head rotated 180 degrees.

Based on Rager and Seaspray's timeline, and now that we have seen prototypes and now color versions....

What is a logical guess on a release date?

I'm kind of new to this. Once you see a prototype, how long does it take if you are trying to release it as soon as you can?

My original comment was supporting someone elses comment while adding some much needed humor. But then you came with the "annoying" comment. If you want to single me out so blatantly as "annoying" just call me out by name. Nothing or nobody on here really offends me. While my Hasbro bashing might be "annoying" I find your support for Hasbro on a 3rd party thread to be "amusing".

Do me a favor and hire a plane to sky write over the Hasbro factory "MAKE BETTER CLASSICS FIGURES". If they still cant see the message over their heads, then Hasbro really needs to be put down like an 20 year old dog with 3 legs. However, if they get the message and deliver, I promise you I will give Hasbro my full support.

Hey, for the record, I like a ton of my Hasbro figures... I'm sure they go through having different toy engineers for different figures (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, or have additional info, as I'd love to hear more), so you sometimes get really sweet figures, and then sometimes you get stuck with figures that are cool, but flawed with gimmicks and other decisions that destroy its appeal.

Aaanyway. New Brawn head is cool, def not as cool as the animated head imo, but hey, now you have the option for a battle armoured face mask opposed to the drinking-at-the-energon-pub head.

I find your support for Hasbro on a 3rd party thread to be "amusing".

Yeah, because you can't love one without hating the other.

I'll buy that skywriter if you do the same and tell the 3rd party guys to lower their prices and sell in Wallmart.

Deal.

All three are great. The paint schemes are spot on for all of them. Love how they did Sharkticon. Can't wait for the preorders.

That would be sweet.

I was a kid in the 80's.....Im fairly sure I was alive at the time.

Hasbro make toys...toys are for kids, collectors are a small part of the market and Hasbro really doesnt have to do anything for us older fans at all, it wouldnt hurt them to ignore us all together.

Well, I want at least 5 sharkticons if the price will allow

Trying to be funny huh ???

What I meant was that Hasbro's current target audience (AKA today's kids) were not alive in the 80's or even the 90's. They have no relevance to the G1 cartoon or it's characters. They dont even know Universe/Generations/RTS are homages. They probally wouldnt care if they did and mix them up with Bayformers.

And I wouldnt say Hasbro doesnt care about collectors at all because they sponser the Transformers Collectors Club and Botcon. My issue is they only care half ass.

I knew what you meant, I was just being pedantic.

I didnt say Hasbro dont care Im just saying they dont have to care at all, Im sure it wouldnt really hurt their overall profit if they stopped worrying about their G1 type collectors and gave up on nods to G1 and reissues etc and simply stuck with their new stuff. If they didnt sell it they wouldn't have to design it etc. Non cartoon characters from the Universe or Generation lines are probably less popular with kids. Saying that I realise that I have no idea how popular they actually are though.
