TFC Toys have posted some images of their unofficial Seacon Overbite on their Weibo page. Named Cyberjaw, this terror from the deep maintains the striking pallet of the original Generation 1 toy it takes inspiration from. It’s showcased in these images in robot and sea monster modes, as well as in arm, leg, and weapon forms. Check out the images attached to this post.

i liked the way they were, they're not "MP" figures, they're a modern reinvention oh well we can only wait and see

People complained that they weren't "G1 enough", maybe TFC is redesigning them to make them look more geewunn.

they need to hurry up and start releasing them, i'm also disapointed that we didn't get a King Poseidon repaint
BIOMEC
The " TFC Satan's members" will have one too!

So I just got 1K in hand …and…he…is…awesome! I love the light pipping, makes him look alive under light. The tenticles are incredible and love the guns and stand it comes with. It really is a figure every Transformers fan should own, completing the combiner or not. Buy one for both modes good. He’s just to good to waste as a combiner limb. By far one the best figures I own and it just oozes love by the makers.
I picked up the blue and green stands, have the Shadow of Silver set on order and now need the Lobster man next. I don’t buy many, really any expensive combiners ($150 complete is usually my limit) but Poseidon is hitting my tastes perfectly.

Though I still fully intend to get this set, yeah I'd prefer to find a decent deal at some point. Given the amount of members, and my preference for two sets for display purposes, paying $1200ish for two sets is something I'd like to avoid, if possible. I missed out on the BBTS deal on Hades/Liokaiser and still have had outlets to get most members below US retail anyways.

Like someone else mentioned the problem with wanting to skip anyone other than 1000 kills is you are missing a hand or foot then.
and Tentikill is a usual part of the combination so – I'd say just bit the bullet and buy all 6.
Anyway as we are talking about guns – I was wondering if anyone has any combinations they'd like to share of the stands – like is it functionallly feasible to merge two weapon stands into a larger stand that is better sized for the combiner mode than the standard configuration is ?

And bought thank you.

Whoa, I missed this! Gotta track down that piece.

i am using this combination sans the foot ankle add-ons, i like the short bulky look and my legs and arms are swapped on each side, and i used the burgundy stand to hold metal shark like a turret

"Using Overbite as his gun" is his signature pose/move from the series:

I think I recall a commercial bumper with it too, but couldn't find a copy online. Also couldn't find the scene I remember where he like bursts up from beneath some ice, and fires Overbite the moment he emerges.
But all in all—using a fellow Seacon as a gun is VERY much his thing.

Here’s all the combinations I tried a while back. The last pic is the version I settled on. Still love this set.

You can, although the idea is that the last team member is used in weapon mode for the combined figure… however, it's well recognised by now that none of the elbow joints are strong enough to support the weight of those weapons, so it's a bit pointless.
A solution I liked, and allows all members of the team to be used in the combined mode, is to get an aftermarket piece (I got mine from the member "shadowofsilver" here) that adapts Thousandkills tentacles into a massive grasping claw.
Sorry for the wrong perspective.

I keep going back and forth on this guy but I haven’t seen a deal I couldn’t pass up yet.
I’m still holding out hope a steal pops up.
hypno
Well rats thousandkills is my most wanted. I was hoping the feet and hands came with the turtle and I could skip Bigbite or the shark.
hypno
I didn’t have him as a toy and only know him from Masterforce where I don’t remember him using another member as a gun.

They have the scramble city feature, so the only bot you have to have is Ironshell (torso), you can pick the other four limbs up based on your personal preferences, be mindful that each member comes with a different part for the combined mode, so the only one you really "don't need" is 1K kills since he doesn't come with a foot or a hand, he just comes with an upgrade piece for Poseidon, which also serves as an additional stand for gun mode. You can use the six limb member as a targetmaster, but it only could be held as a "rifle" (two handed held weapon) instead of a regular gun due to the weight.
David Hingtgen
I'll assume you're unfamiliar with the G1 Seacons? Piranacon is a *targetmaster* combiner. The sixth member is the combined form's gun. Not essential, but it is the team's "gimmick", beyond being a combiner.
