Via Weibo user 路人老板 we can share for you images of the gray prototype of upcoming Fans Toys: FT-30E Jester (Masterpiece Scale Slingshot).
We have a look at Fans Toys impressive cartoon-accurate take on G1 Aerialbot Slingshot for the Masterpiece scale. The images let us appreciate the figures in both modes and a comparison size group shot with the rest of Fans Toys Aerialbots. To top it all, we also have images of the Combiner mode which seems to be able to work as a right or left arm.
You can check the mirrored images on this news post after the jump and then sound off your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

On over 2000 days played and I never have sound on, fight me!

STR Goku/Gohan's Active Skill OST is our best OST yet, fight me.

Same. Can't be assed with the bots. Shouki's probably gonna be something since he comes in bot and he seems the most frustrating so far.
So in short AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And like the crazy fuck I am, I actually 180'd and preordered Takara's Trainbots so we'll see about those come June LMAO

I think the top ten in some order are Air Raid, Sideswipe, Jazz, Blue Streak, Hound, Skyfire, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Blades and Sureshot
Doom Slayer
Air Raid is indeed IMO the best looking bot so far. But Skydive is the easiest to transform.
Nemesis Compactor
Air Raid is the himbo of the group
Aaronstampler
really? I dunno I think Air Raid is by far the best-looking (handsomest?) of the Aerialbots and really among all the Autobots in general to never display in bot mode. He’s just so damn clean.
Doom Slayer
I can do without, but it would be a neat feature.
Destron1
I'm honestly VERY surprised Blaster plays Dokkan
ThatGuyCalledBlaster
I'd honestly be VERY surprised to not see it in some shape or form. Pretty much quintessential with Superion to a point when you think about it.
Nemesis Compactor
So, just a random thought to resurrect this thread…
No plans for combined mode to have the toon's arm cannon?

Speaking of which, I've always wondered why the toon randomly gave him a built-in cannon.
Diesel
I agree. Sovereign is right there with it, though. I believe Roadking edges him out slightly.

Yeah, it's not one trailer, but it still makes a long truck, if they are pulled together.
Furb
Nope, it'll be a second trailer so you can display it or store it, whatever suits you
crdavismusic
Indeed. I'm keeping the same approach with the Trainbots.
Doom Slayer
Ah well, he'll probably be a leg for the rest of time once the whole set is released.

The FT Aerialbots are also fun to flip back and forth. I have some paint wear on Iceman's pelvis because of how the shin guards come up against. But not bad.
marioxb
I mean it's cool to have it all in one, but where is the combiner body? And when (if) it finally comes out, you'll have a trailer even longer than DX9's. I think XTB did Menasor the best, QC issues aside. I also like how XTB made them all the same size as their Autobot counterparts, as seen in the episode Masquerade. With the exception of Windcharger being a minibot.

Ah, we're at a stalemate. I think the Roadking transformation is absolutely atrocious, even though it's amazing. My Quietus has that issue too but I still think it's the best Fans Toys figure. Followed by Phoenix and then, maybe Roadking.
Markus76
I have both and the cockpit issue with Quietus is why I put Roadking ahead of him.
werewolfspice
Unfortunately there is speculation about this that varies pretty widely but nothing is confirmed or known for sure.
