3rd Party Group, Igear, has updated their Facebook page with some in-box images of their upcoming MW-01 Spray and MW-02 Rager figures. The two figures based on Generation 1 Seapray and Huffer will come in boxes that have a Generation 1 feel to them. Complete with the “grid” look and tech specs as well.
Don’t have Facebook? Fear not, we’ve mirrored the images here. Take a look after the jump and join in on the discussion on the 2005 Boards

Yeah, I got mine the other day.
It's been a LONG time since I bought a transforming robot with ZERO buyer's remorse.
The price was amazing.
The product was better than expected. All those ball-joints are tight so far.
Now, I hope iGear can get a move on with the dozen or so projects they've teased.

Both of these little guys arrived in the mail yesterday, and I have to say that they are pretty friggin' awesome! These (along with the Junkheap and Sky Shadow Generations releases) have given me a little bit of a renewed interest in the Classics line in what has been a bit of a lull of late. Not sure if I'll spring for the Not-Cosmos when it goes up for pre-order since we already have a decent legends class Cosmos from Hasbro, but i-gear has really put some quality offerings out there as of late.

That is not a bad idea at all TP. I just had visions of the trailer adapter sitting on the back of Rager's altmode, with the two pistols pegged onto it, looking sort of like a turret or something. Just so you would have somewhere to put those two guns in altmode.
ToasterPrime
the easy way would have been to to mold a peg or slot inside the cab to clip the guns onto.
plenty of space in there.
as for your idea Tfao, turn it around; have the adapter port be an add-on for Prime's trailer instead of an add-on for Rager. Plenty of room to hide that adapter on the trailer.

I'm hoping for a 3rd party add-on, or someone to make on shapeways, for Igear Rager's altmode.
It would be a sort of "adapter/riser" that could connect somehow to the back of Rager's altmode, and allow one (or more) of Prime's trailers to hitch onto, and be able to be towed by un-Huffer. I figure that it could also have a couple of slots on this add-on so that his two pistol's can be attached, and stored in altmode.
I'm mostly visualizing it being compatible for MakeToy's G2 trailer. Even though it was Prime's original trailer that Huffer pulled, I think that MakeToy's triler is probably closest in size to making it happen. Obviously MP-04's would be out of the question. Not sure if FP's trailer would work as I don't own one. Any other trailers that could work?
The only thing is, how to make it functional for Rager in botmode. Maybe make it a bigass gun that the two smaller ones can attach to, or something?

Botcon will be a big 3rd Party year for me.

I haven't found a way to store the guns either lol. Oh well, I guess I'll leave them in bot mode for now.

Just got him. like him. a lot. busted my camera, so no pics (sorry)
As advertised, he's mini.
Front wheels are loose, back wheels are too tight to move on their own.
His head's on a ball joint… inside a small cavity… can barely fit my pinky in there…
For the love of all that is holy, don't mess with it!
Now his head's at an angle inside a small cavity, and I can't get in there to straighten it out. Gonna have to invest in a pair of soft tweezers now…
Haven't figured out how or if I can store the guns in vehicle mode.
…still like him

Merry Christmas Everyone.
Dark Skull
Just got a shipping notice for Rager (not-Huffer)…….most of you should be getting notice too or soon
deathsheadII
rk refunded and i reordered with huffer next time gonna order as soon as igear put them up for pre order
Robogeek28
Sold out already?!?
Damn, I seriously didn't expect that to happen, glad I got my order in a couple weeks ago. Looks like I'll need to remember to order the next ones pretty quickly once they go up as I'm sure those that missed out on Huffer will order much earlier now.

I'm still waiting for a Company to emerge that does not disappoint me in some way – I don't choose to spread bile right now but I can't really say anything very positive about very many places I've bought stuff from – that is why I often don't bother giving my custom to specialist shops very often. Everyone compares very disfavourably to the way I'd like to see them run their businesses – Many lack a certain degree of common decency in one area or another even the ones people like to gush over.
deathsheadII
i have sent them an email asking to cancel
Wheelie
Never hurts to ask. If they want your business they will bend their rules.
deathsheadII
it states in their rules that they will not alter an order , which is why i want to cancel and re order
RedAlert Rescue
You could send them an e-mail and ask them to send you a Paypal invoice – But one of the reasons I've not bought anything from Robot kingdom was they gave me a stinky reply when I asked them a similar question — but you can but try and they won't alter the shipping and add the item to your existing order ask them to cancel it and reorder both.
Or ask them if you order Rager if they will refund the overpayment on shipping and wind it in with your existing order afterwards.
deathsheadII
just seen robot kingdom have 148 in stock wish i had noticed igear had none left when i ordered neckbreaker just put an order in ( but not followed it through) to see how much it would have cost me with neckbreaker and rager in shipping and would have only cost me £14/£15 for rager with shipping if i had added it to the same order ..DAMN! what are rk like at canceling orders? want to cancel neckbreaker so i can order rager with it

maybe the mould itself had a limited run and they sold out of what the mould is capable of producing…aka they sold a lot.
At $15 shipped to me it meant pay shipping, as you would with anything else, and receive a very awesome minibot WITH WEAPONS that belong to a set of 8 awesome minibots for free.
I posted may times that at that price $15 INCLUDING shipping, everyone should buy one even if they didn't want it.
I'm one of those wait wait wait guys but the $18 gun upgrade set took me to the site and I bought the bots. Glad I did and sorry to anyone who missed out on this practically free event.
Dark Skull
ouch…..geez….I wonder why they won't do a 2nd run….knowing the toy was this popular?
