TFC Toys Rage of Hercules New Images

Seems like another run to me. Why else would they be Pre-order.
Other TFC Legacy Favs like Hydrant for their Defensor are popping up without his group members as well.

I can only assume that this is a warehouse find by BBTS and not a new run. It'd explain why there's no preorders for Bonecrusher or Mixmaster.

Yeah, it's a shame. These guys are really charming to me and I'd love a full set but don't have much interest in just four of them. Maybe someone would be interested in offloading their mixmaster and bonecrusher to me…

These are to cover up screw holes. Sometimes they will have a little slant on the flat end so you can orient them accordingly.

Herc has a special place in many a transformers fans collection, 3p or otherwise.

It represents the first full combiner of 3p origin for many and was a loud wake up call to has/tak regarding what fans would be willing to pay for their transforming toys.

Herc fits that IDW/Dreamwave*shudders*/ Chug aesthetic that makes it just pop and blend at the same time.

Same here. No matter how evolved third party combiners now are, my Hercules will always have a special place in my heart. He is my first, third party combiner. and I afforded him, with the final salary I got before I was laid off by my employer whom I refuse to be in cohorts with. They asked me to sign falsified documents to let illegals work at our battery factory. I refused as that is a criminal offence and I might go to jail for it. they threatened to fire me under the clause of insubordination. I counter threat them by saying I got everything on tape and if they dont pay me triple my salary, I'll turn them to the cops. they paid me in cash and I handed the tape to them. it was a mixtape, made during my college (00-04) years. Have fun listening to Gin Blossom bitches.

Hi, I've recently acquired a used copy of this set and unfortunately it appears that my Exgraver has two left hip parts. Does anyone happen to be in the opposite situation? I would gladly swap one with somebody.

I just got my Perseus and attached the included Rage parts on the shoulder joints. I ABSOLUTELY cannot get the one on Bonecrusher off, it's way too tight. Does anyone have a way of getting it off safely? I really don't want to ruin this set.

All I can say is I wish you luck. Couple years back I got the rage set and attached it to Hercules. When the time came to disassemble him again, I ran into the same problem you did. Bone rusher absolutely could not pull apart from Hook.

So, after a lot of scratching my head and gentle prying, I did the idiot thing and pulled as hard as I could. The two toys came apart. But the rage shoulder connector pulled Hook's combiner peg clear out of the toy, shearing away the plastic post it was mounted to inside his body.

To this day that connector port is still lodged in the rage shoulder connector. Hook wasn't destroyed but he'd never be able to combine again. Even if I could get him repaired, I doubt the fixed connector would sustain another attempt at combining.

I picked up a replacement Dr. Crank from BBTS when they had them on sale for 40 a piece. If I ever put Hercules together again, it won't be with the rage parts.

I used shock oil. That will help you, the rage kit isn’t exactly molded the best oiling those joints was the only way I could make the kit work.

Thanks for all the help, I just got it off by dipping the connection in some scalding hot water to heat up the socket. That brings me to another question, there's a chance some water got into the ratchet (not submerged, but that's where the socket is after all). Has anyone ever gotten some water in on their Hercules and the joints rusted to the point of breaking? I'm a paranoid, so this might be completely unwarranted fear.

I too am having issues removing the rage kit. In fact I'm having issues putting him together to begin with.

MrUniqZ did you use shock oil before attaching the kit? I love this set and don't want to break him.

I think a part of the problem is I have a bunch of mold flashing in his ports. Before I start trimming things can anyone confirm if these are supposed to be there?

Just scored a complete boxed 2nd run for 120 shipped. Maybe a little to high, but at least I know what I'm getting.

Where did you end up getting him from?

This thread lol.

At this point peeps should start posting some cool photos! If any of y’all still own ‘em :3 (I do!)
