Thanks 2005 Boards member and Fans Toys spokesperson, dalianjj, we have an extensive gallery of Fans Toys FT-28 Hydra (Masterpiece scaled Sixshot) Test Shot.
This is a very impressive take on the great G1 Decepticon sixchanger. A very clean and neat design which is very similar to the G1 animation model in all his modes. Besides his classics guns, he will include 2 cool ninja swords. If you want to get an idea of his size, there are comparison shots with other Fans Toys releases like Fans Toys FT-18 Lupus (Masterpiece Weirdwolf) and Fans Toys FT-16 Sovereign (Masterpiece Galvatron).
This is Fans Toys first test shot for this figure. According to dalianjj, the final product will have more paint details. You can now click on the bar to check out all the images, then let us know your impressions on this new 3P alternative to Sixshot.

I just put my Hydra up on eBay. Not sure if I priced it a little too high though.
And agreed. G-Creation’s is so much better in my eyes (personally of course). I know it’s IDW versus G1 and all, as you said, but he’s interesting as hell.

I had him for a month or so when he first came out and flipped him for G-Creation Sixshot. I know he's not a G1 design but damn if he isn't more interesting in just about every way.

I'm waiting for a better MP Sixshot, though I don't know if that day will ever come. Hydra is beautiful to look at and I really don't have anything negative to say about his aesthetics, but he just can't do much more than kinda stand there with his knees being so shitty. Plus the transformation is a pain because of how much force it takes to detach his arms. I dunno, I wish Ocular Max would give him a go, Sixshot should be fun to flip back and forth but Hydra just isn't.
Honesty
Thanks for the quick/reply my man. So the listing prices I see are pretty on the mark at least. But that’s new, I think, and with box and stuff.
I’m not in-love with this guy anymore. And have been thinking of *possibly* off loading him.
DrCalligari
I usually see it around $300 to $350.
Honesty
How much is this guy worth nowadays? Wish I never tossed the box.
I see some listings on eBay but just about every single one of them (*if not all of them*) are from China/likely some being scams.

Fan dub or British dub?
Enfin
I suggest watching the dub The Galvatron voice is memorable as is Annoyed Fortress/Cerebros and Salty Wheelie

The kiss anime apps are the best, no ads, click and stream but their server is under maintenance the last couple days. It'll come back up. The Anime TV is the next best, pretty much the same but plays an ad when you click the video but you can immediately back out which closes it. They did go off Google play a while ago so you download from their page.
The movie app is the same setup as kiss anime, search an go, and has most of the latest movies including all transformers live action
Dpuff
I wouldnt mind hearing about these apps

OK, that won't work. I was going to suggest a couple of anime apps that I use that have all things Transformers in subbed and dubbed versions

I think I started with one or two English dubs, but both were super brief as I found the voices to be lacking.
I switched to the original Japanese version on YouTube and found myself enjoying the show much better with subtitles.
The subtitles do have some errors but I have found that as hilarious as the animation errors throughout G1
SpiderPrime
Brief aside: are you watching an English dub by chance? If so, where are you streaming it?
Back on topic: count me in for a hydra reissue as well. Would seem like a no brainer.

Add me to the list of folks hoping for a reissue. Am watching the Headmasters series for the first time and loving it! It has rapidly expanded the list of characters I’m after and Hydra looks excellent!!
Also hoping to see FT complete the Autobot headmaster line up too
NonRetroMan
I'd buy a reissue if they made the turquoise more green. For years I've been on & off on getting the toyhax set but once again I'm leaning towards just getting them.

lol I feel you brother, I have exactly the same reaction. Badly want a reissue of this!
imest
I'll take it with or without the fix tbh. again plz and ty.
Leonwave
same way people were hoping for a kickback reissue wing fix that never happened? which was probably a far bigger fault than hydras knees, i very much doubt it
