Mastermind Creations have unveiled plans to release a redeco of their popular not-Sixshot, Terminus Hexatron. The teaser image, released via Weibo, refers to the new version as “Shadow Emissary”. The image is a heavy photoshop, but based on what we can see and previous versions of Sixshot, we suspect this will be a black repaint modeled on one of the Lucky Draw Sixshots released in the early 2000s.

Gone huh? I had no intention of getting this thing, and would have preferred the original more coz I like that colour palette and fits the colours going with the decepticons I had. But I got this kinda outta the blue:
Not sure what happened but I was instantly compelled to get this over everything else I was considering. Not regretting it at all, loving the beast, but now I'm stuck with harder decisions. I mean here I am wondering about Sigma Six, Columpio and Scoria. Now I'm wondering about Nemesis Orion, Axle and (OHwtfWHY?) Black Zarak…
Oh yeah and I had to get a couple more guns.

It's my fault for not biting sooner. I didn't think he'd been out that long enough to be sold out; especially considering how long he'd been in the making.
I'll probably avoid the KO for now. I try to avoid supporting KOs (although it is a slightly different story if the original is no longer available). Thank you for the info that they do exist though.

wow, I didn't realize the original colors were all sold out. I checked TFSource, TheChosenPrime, CapturedPrey, AcesToyStore, ToyDojo, PlanetSteelExpress, ActionRobo, and RobotKingdom after seeing your post and they are all sold out. Sucks but you might have to check the BST thread or hunt evilbay, good luck.
Edit: there's a KO one being made that might interest you. You can find info in the thread located here.

Any knowledge if they're going to do another run in the original colors? I missed out, and G1 Sixshot was one of my favorite figures growing up as a kid.

I don't find him brittle. Only problems I have is with tge hands (wrists actually). These are so tight, every time you turn them they feel like they are about to break….
Hexatron
Despite my name I just aquired this figure, he is beyond gorgeous! The only thing I'm worried about is that he feels brittle to me. I know mmc makes phenomenal figures but he has the same feeling as mmc Cyclops. The closest thing I can think of is that he feels like a diy model. Does anyone else feel this, Im kind of cautious to play with him because he is sooooooo beautiful haha.

Good to know, thanks

Got my Shadow Emissary Hexatron today. Love it! Has anybody gone ahead and painted the green guns/helmets? I so wish they had used the same metallic black they had used on the stag cleavers.
I ordered some of the chrome guns/helmet to paint but as I am a total beginner I was wondering if anybody else had attempted this and how they got on.

Thanx man. MMC also sent me the instructions but also like daimchoc sent me another head with the faceplate instead of one without.
Remko
Correct. I chose "White Strong & Flexible Polished" for every item.
Tolerances are pretty good. The swords fit very well inside the hands, the large swords also fit in the holders on the wings. The railguns have a slightly thicker handle though. So ey won't fit in either his hands or the holes on the wings.

I'm looking for a dazzling chrome set for my Shadow Emissary. Anyone have a set they'd like to sell?
Nevermind, I found a set online. Looks so nice with the black Zavien!!
unexpectedpanda
Is that polished strong and flexible? Does that hugely affect tolerances? Trying to make Shapeways choices myself
daimchoc
Thanks to MMC, I received the missing instruction manual. I was also missing the helmet without the faceplate, but I got another with the faceplate. Anybody here with two helmets without a faceplate? Maybe we can just swap. Thanks in advance.

Shadow Emissary, I choose you!

The Railguns are by Javaco, the swords are from Benjdude.

These look nice as well: https://www.shapeways.com/model/1655731/great-sword-x2.html
The railguns need to be modified a bit. The pegs are just a tad to thick to fit in the holes or hands. The swords fit perfectly though. But I still need to find a place to store the small swords. The large katana's fit in the slots on the wings.
daimchoc
Those are Javaco's, right?

My shapeways order finally came in this afternoon. Now I just need to paint them.
So, as of now, Shadow Emissary's weapons fit is this:
The large black cannons are from the Action Master Overrun (I should have the three barrelled gun as well somewhere… Perhaps I can modify this with a 5 mm peg so Shadow can use it as a handgun).
The four beige guns are from an old Zoid toy, and will, after modification and painting, be optional to be placed on the shoulders (opposite of the wheels), a bit like Scorponok. I'll add a couple of pegs for them to the shoulders, if I figure out how exactly.
And of course he will also be equipped with a pair of Colossus shotguns.
