Via 景田-百岁山 on Weibo, we have a look at the final product of FansProject’s Knight. Knight is a recolor of the group’s MADLAW, which was inspired by Generation 1 Quickswitch – this version is inspired by the vintage Quickswitch redeco, Sixknight.
What may be of interest to those following FansProject’s releases is that Knight, unlike MADLAW, has been placed in the main numbering of the Function-X line – he’s Function-X6. We’re not sure when this one is going to be available for fans to buy – but, given the FansProject trend of having something available at conventions, the smart money is on a western debut at TFcon 2015.

One amendum to my jet fan-mode; while I said I didn't attach the large guns to him there is one way to add them on: Just open the beast jaws on each end of the wing and have them bite on the gun handles (however this is only good for display and can't be handled due to it not being a solid tight connection)

Is Fansproject still in the game?

Me too! I really loved the Function series, and wish they'd at least crank out a version of poor ol' Hardhead so I could at least complete the trio.

Mine is displayed with Sixshot and Unicron. Love Fansproject, wish they were around more.

I was just thinking the same thing! I remember loving this guy, but it's been ages since I've done anything but look at him on the shelf!

Dang, now I really feel like breaking mine out for the first time in a while…

Didn't know that he had a dedicated thread… might as well bring the pictures I did last year or so of the many modes and such I was able to do with him…
Star Trek ship
Frog hover tank
Turret tank
Modified wolf that provides proper backlegs

Happy to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't use the default jet mode
I tried incorporating the large guns like you did, but never liked how it looked due to the skinny peg handles so right now I just don't use them at all. I've opted to flip the rear portion of the jet so it puts the majority of the bulk on the underside (looks like fuel tanks or engines) and making the wings look much longer and sleeker.

Ordered mine over the weekend hopefully bbts doesn’t take 2 weeks to ship since they are less than 4 hours from me lol. got mine and removed the ratchet all works well and firm holding. Also pics cause why not.
I used a fan mode for the jet and found that the large guns can plug into the back of the “boat windows” like it was something that was meant to happen
Lodril
Seriously?! That's a steal.

Well, I didn't need much convincing after all, lol.
Just added to my POL. Only $42 on BBTS!
Function-X6 Knight
I made shelf space for my G1 Sixshot, G1 Quickswitch, TR Quickswitch, TR Sixshot, and LG-EX Greatshot in recent days, so I need this!

I love him. amazing figure, I think this is your best option for a sixkinight in chug scale

Guessing this figure is pretty outdated, but I want a Sixknight figure.
Looks pretty gangly, but it's awesome in hand? The design looks unintentionally retro in 2021?

Thanks a lot for your answers. I would like to get hold of one but I have too many figures in mind! TT Legends Grand Maximus and Overlord and now this!
jamarmiller
I love him. amazing figure, I mix chug and 3p too and I think this is your best option for a sixkinight in your chug scale
its an extremely fun toy

I like him. He's of about average poseability for a 3P figure. The various modes… well, they look like a six-changer's various modes, but they're ok.
I mix CHUG and 3P bots on my shelves, and think he looks good with Tomy's Ginrai, and I like that he is pleasantly distinct from my MMC Sixshot and my Hasbro Quickswitch.
God Orion
May I ask what is people’s opinion about that figure? Quality? Pose-ability? Etc…
primalxconvoy
Aaand bought. Right now, there are so many bargains online! High quality KOs, reduced third party figs, KO third party kits, new sites springing up in China with cheaper shipping; it's amazing! You can spend around 100 dollars and get a box full of lovely stuff!

Well this guy is on sale at TfSource for $49 right now. That is a steal.

Mine arrived and I'm quite happy with the guy. QC is a bit off tho. It's got the common drill gear problem and I also noticed that if the 2 sides of his torso are not tabbed in one sits at a different angle to the other only by a small amount. I also wish the larger guns had more tabs just so I had a few storage options. but overall I love the guy. the colours are spot on the modes are all solid and he can do some awesome poses.
it's interesting having this guy arrive the same time as striker manus, they are similar in size but 6knight is much bulkier. But what really got my eye was just how retro the Knight looked in terms of detailing. He really does look like a post G1 S3/Pre-G2 transformer with more articulation and better proportions.
Also I dare say he's more fun to play with then Manus.
