Fansproject Announce Function-X - Ultimate NOT Headmasters Coming Soon

Probably expect it to be average Deluxe size so it will fit in with normal Classics cars.

Well it is Fans project so we know it will be awesome, I'm hoping he will be at least the same size as Warbot, and since I paid $74 for Steel Core. I'm hoping for a good sized Chromedome

I've had a custom Chromedome with headmaster on my shelf for over a year (made from Generations Red Alert with a shapeways upgrade kit) gonna be sad to see his spot taken, but these guys look awesome and I just can't miss out. Though Mindwipe is still stepping on Headrobots toes...

Haha. And these are stepping on HASBRO's Toes and they own the IP for them. Not sure why you're more worried about them stepping on another 3rd party's toes. That's just silly.

Sorry but you have to plant your feet in order for someone to step on your toes, since Hasbro seems to have zero interest in bringing out new versions of these characters anytime within the next few years (out of the 40 new Generations figures exactly how many are new additions to the previous CHUG lines? None that's how many) Third parties seem to have more of a vested interest in the IP than Hasbro does, with Beast Hunters coming out I'm almost certain Hasbro is trying to kill the franchise before TF 4 starts filming.

BM may not have killed the Brand, but it killed s good chunk of it, and took years for those chunks to comeback to life, now will Beast Hunters be anything like BM? I doubt it. Cause if you do not want to bother with the Beast Hunters Crap, like how I'm not. I can concentrate on Generations instead. Something we did not have back during BM, which was choice

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
