The latest two-pack offering from 3rd Party group, Maketoys, is making their way into the hands of fans. You get a great look at vehicle mode, robot modes and a partially completed combined mode of Giant in these pictures of Mobile Crane and Dump Truck (Aka Generation 2 Hook and Long Haul). Both figures are seen here in two reviews: A video review by 2005 Board member TJ Duckett and a pictorial review from Brave Max.
Check out TJ’s Video Review embedded below and check out Brave Max’s pictorial review HERE.

This guy is fantastic! Love the aesthetic and luckily my shoulders are fine.
Frognal
That's a huge negative. I wonder if someone could come up with a fix for that, perhaps flat rubber covers for the wheels?
TFao
How did you think that?
One of the biggest selling points of TFC Herc was his SIZE compared to all other combiners, before ore since…

I was disappointed in these toys. Thought they were going to be bigger than Hercules, but they are smaller.

This is fine work.

It's your opinion.
Like I posted in another, unrelated thread…
Now the world don't move,
to the beat of just one drum.
What might be right for you,
might not be right for some.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to move the world!
Enjoy your Bugatti and stop needlessly hammering on other people's Chargers.

That says it all.
More justification.

Oh come on now. Both Hercules and Giant suck in their own special way. Who cares..
Kraken
Yay! More gibberish, that's my boy!

I love Dump Truck's head sculpt. It's badass.

Pisser and to be honest that's kinda how I feel about them too.

That's nice dear. I personally think that Hercules individual bots look like Playskool Gobots made out of Play Dough, but you don't hear me shouting about it.

You know I can see your point but the way I see it they match up pretty well in bot mode so far:
Exgraver vs Excavator: I give Exgraver the win but not by a large margin.
Neckbreaker vs Bulldozer: Bulldozer wins I think.
Dr Crank vs Mobile Crane: I'll give this one to Dr. Crank but if you unscrew the crane the difference isn't that big.
Heavylabor vs Dump Truck: A slight edge to Dump Truck here.

Call me what you will! lol but the Giant combined isnt bad but not as terrific as Hercules. The MakeToy individual bots look like a pile of plastic SHIT too me, thats all I'm saying and thats not being a hater…..Its real talk!
Blitz.
well aren't you a happy little hater.
Kraken
lol, sorry, couldn't resist

That's a fine line of gibberish you've got going on there, keep it up
