Back in September, we reported that Mastermind Creations had opened a poll to decide the identity of their planned black recolor of the Knight Morpher Commander. We, the results are in and the vote is for “evil clone”.
Accordingly Mastermind Creations have updated their blog with images and a bio of the evil twin of the Knight Morpher Commander. The bio also suggests that future releases are “Magnus”, probably an Ultra Magnus inspired recolor of Knight Morpher Commander, and “Cyclops” which hopefully means that the awesome Hearts of Steel Shockwave design might lie somewhere in Mastermind Creation’s future plans.
The Annihilator itself is a very handsome deco of black and gold, and also boasts improved joints and an extra head for replacing Knight Morpher Commander’s. Check out the images either by clicking on the link above or by checking out our mirror after the jump.

I love the new colos but will have to pass on it for now, you know the repaints are what helps all these guys pay for future releases so if you can afford it, support them!

That makes me feel a little better about it. But I still definitely want to wait til we see some final products of it before I decide. x_x;

Thats actually because its a hand painted sample. So the production version should have a better looking paint job easily.

The paint on that looks kinda shoddy. I'm not too impressed.
I do like the colors more than the Knight Morpher, but if it's going to look like that, then no thanks.

looks very nice. If it was $60-ish (like the regular version is at BBTS) I would probably order it.
When they announce the Ultra Magnus-esque version, I most likely will order it.

Damn that figure looks good in black and gold/copper. If I but only had the money…

You might be, but now that you mention it, I like it

Looks awesome and fierce! The price though is out of my range. Oh well.

I stumbled upon this on BBTS yesterday, and I think Annihilator looks good. Not quite good enough for me to buy, but an Ultra Magnus repaint holds a much higher likelyhood of me getting.
And they have Knight Morphoer for $60, I almost bought it, but I decided to get Laser Ultra Magnus instead.

I really liked the original, being an independant figure the size of a voyager for $85 wasn't a bad deal. Since I bought the first, I'm not going to bite on this one, although he does look good. My only hope and warning to those that decide to go for it is that with this increase in cost I HOPE they are going to alter the mold to be able to transform better. My original one had parts that were too big to properly transform, and on top of that the face was messed up out of the box. BBTS replaced it, and while the face was fine the joints and everything were still super tight and I had to do some sanding down and screw loosening to get him to function.

Ok, I know I cant be the only one out there who immediately thought upon seeing this repaint that some 'Back to the Future 3" Time traveling train possibilities were in order! Or can I?
Absolute

I'm much more interested in this one than I was for the original. I dunno if I'll bit for $100 but it sure is tempting.

The pre-order is up at BBTS. The sword is shown in one of the images.

The color scheme is fantastic for a train. I am waiting for new information and detailed photos to come to retail.

Np! your boys should be fine with most of Knight Morpher. His transformation is very simple (about classics Optimus prime level, nothing like movie prime). There aren't too many loose piece if any.
