i'm only targeting the 3P dinobots (most probably giga, maybe FT, depends) and MP25 if it is tracks. others depends on financial status...

So far I feel Giga design is more like Cybertron MP dinobots while FT is more like cartoon MP dinobots. So those who like cybertron style ppl will like Giga more.

Gigapower Gutter review

- dinobots looks great... look even better than FT. FT in the other hand kinda look dull.
- robot mode, I feel it is too noisy... too details... FT looks better in robot mode.

conclusion, why not get Giga for dinobots and FT for robot mode?? laugh.gif

I like Giga metallic paint on grey plastic... FT plastic grey looks dull. But I must say this, FT Scoria color is way more dull than FT Soar and Sever. So until someone review FT-06 Sever, we will never know who is better. But one thing for sure, Giga definitely paint the whole figure while FT grey remain plastic.

Side by side comparison, FT vs Giga

I'll stick to FT since i have start with scoria & soar. Giga looks cool, but too much choice, too little money  cry.gif

I think Scoria color need to strengthen. Sever color looks much better than Scoria. To be honest, I feel it is in color paint that FT lose out to Giga.

If you want FT with painted plastic, go for the X series, FT-04X, FT-05X, etc... biggrin.gif looks great with MP-8X, which is the whole idea...

Sorry BadCube, FT gets my money biggrin.gif

TFC are doing MP-sized bots, starting with Ironhide, now with Hound... But MP is about alt-mode accuracy, MT wins (but price will be ridiculous T_T )
*
I think this is the area FT has done badly, communication. No one is aware FT is going to release X series. Customers are not given the chances to pick the color they want. Instead they are surprised by this.

BTW, just to start a discussion with you guys. In your opinion, what is your top 10 already release transformers toys that everyone should have (official or unofficial)?

Example:
1. Titan Class Metroplex
2. MP-10 Optimus Prime
3. MMC Hexatron
4. MP-12 Soundwave
5. MP-22 Ultra Magnus
6. MMC Ferel Rex
7. ASP01 Striker Prime
8. Fanstoys Quakewave
9.
10.

for those who are still interested in this. sources in Hong Kong confirmed PO is now opened and after gross conversion (based on the current conversion rate), the price per unit is about RM730.00 (taxes and postage not inclusive). I am expecting the unit should costs near RM800.00 when it hits Malaysia.

as of now, i'm not even sure if this is "collectible", not even for prime collectors.

Wow.. hefty price... If it costs that much I will save the money for Giga dinobots.

anyone has the R-01C hexatron? how does it fair? what's the average price?

I got it less than RM500. It is a masterpiece. I have MP-10, MP-22, FT Scoria, MP-12 and Hexatron quality top them all. Feel solid. Then again, there is a 3rd party making KO of Hexatron with diecast part...

If you plan to get this Megatron just to display with your MP, I suggest you just wait for actual MP that is in scale.
