Anyone interested in selling theirs? Or at least know a place I can get one? The prices on eBay are so unreasonable it’s not even funny.

Now that Disney owns Marvel 3P companies won't touch this character. We'll have to rely on Hasbro to give us a Marvel Legends style figure. Hopefully a BAF so he'll be big and beefy.

I still want a blue armor version of this…

I’m hoping some third party takes a stab at this but can make it look even more organic and like the actual character a bit more. Maybe make him MP prime height or TE-01/MP 36. I may have to get the Marvel Legends version as well. Been rereading my UK TF comics again. Saw this and thought it looked cool. Would love to see it or another version with all the tech and modeling at 3rd party designers finger tips, we could get something really awesome that would fit into our G1 collection on the Marvel UK side.
Bottom line, I’d love to see someone OS/KO this and make it more like the organic character while still turning into a pretty amazing and G1 MP style jet! Or given the green style design from the comics, a war tank jet? Would be more appropriate to his bounty hunter /barbarian stylings.

I hate paying over retail but he's a lot of fun.

Thanks. Have an offer at $130 and seriously thinking about it. should i?
Ragifoesmasher
I think so. Some had issues with their copies but mine was and still is great.

Is this guy worth picking up? He looks awesome.

I picked this one up on Ebay. The figure has a lot of character in hand and the packaging is
a lot of nostalgic fun. Not MMC's best mold, but mine is still quite decent QC wise.

View attachment 27989016 View attachment 27989017 View attachment 27989018 Definitely not the most solid release in the Reformatted line. Loose tolerances and weapons that don’t fit well into the ports. However I still love the overall execution with the head and body sculpt, colors, amd exaggerated weapons set.

Crap that sucks to hear! Sorry about that, I will say though MMC is pretty awesome when it comes to getting replacement parts. They were able to help me and they got the part to me really quick too!

That sucks. I saw this thread get bumped and hoped a blue version of this was forthcoming… alas, I was met with disappointment.. but not as much as you…

Aaaaand this guy, after over a year of solid shelf service, fell a mere 3 feet and broke today. Contacted PSX with hope for a spare part… if not, it'll be glue time. Sigh.

A little fun with Whirl.

Thanks

I believe that was for his moldmate Lockdown.
His huge gun plugs in there.

Just got this guy in the mail two days ago. Finally transformed him into jet mode. He… doesn't tab in here and there as well as I would have liked, especially given the cost of the figure. Also, my copy came with two chainsaws, but no pulse rifle. Still (mostly) happy to have picked him up.
On a related note does anyone know why the jet nose pivots open, and why the knob on the middle portion can come off?
Potchez
I still want this. I'm fine with it being a PSX exclusive.
I really liked the comic that came with it as well; it would be nice to have a sequel.
I think the only issues I had were tabbing the wings caused stress marks around the tabs and the shield being unusable was kind of a downer. Fixing these two issues would guarantee a repaint purchase.

Hey everyone,
Picked Annubis up at TFNation for a decent price, and … well he's just pointy, handsome, and brutal. And he scales very well with Titans Returns Galvatron and Alternators Shockblast, for some epic face-off memories. I admit I'm not overly fond on the alt mode, but then he will hardly be in that mode.
I'm going to need to loosen the upper knee ratchets, apart from that I have some ideas ….. I'm tempted to make some sort of cloth cloak, that fits around the existing parts, and has torn trailing-edges. And I'm going to make / find a bigger mace and an arm mounted blaster …
godotislate – good tip for the shield, I've got some random bits and will give it a go.
I've got one question. Gun storage in robot mode – has anyone found a suitable place? (Have I missed the obvious?)
