The silhouettes look like nobody I recognise. One on the left looks a bit like Rampage with his guns still installed on his shoulders from tiger mode. You don't think it's a third version of Predaking, do you?

Surely not another Predaking. I'd be surprised. One larger and two small, does smack of a scramble city team. But, no, I don't recognise the outlines at all. I demand Terrorcons!!!

Grimtank is a fun design.
Let's see. Those appliance-bots... the white one is a rice cooker, the red one is a floor buffer, the green one is a top-loading washer/dryer, the blue one is a TV... what the hell is the yellow one? A wheelie bin?

If Hegemon sells out before Aurora arrives I fear I may flip. -Nick Ask Tony to hold it for you if you're going to be getting Hardbone and Aurora as well, just say that you want to ship them all together. |

Despite his awe-inspiring name and Toy World's impressive pedigree, I don't think I'll be getting Hardbone. If the 9th rolls around and the Hardbones come in but there's still no sign of Aurora, I'll do as you suggest.
After watching a review of War Hawk where the figure had a broken wing hinge out of the box I've decided to give War Lord a body swerve, and MMC's glacial release schedule means I should be able to keep up with Feral Rex without breaking the bank.

You don't want a Hardbone in your hands, Nickos?

Whoof- chunk-tastic. No bad thing in a combiner, and the original Superion's skinny thighs make me constantly concerned he was going to fall over. It's a shame Uranos doesn't have the animation model's arm-cannon- I always thought that made him distinct from the other Scramble City combiners.

I had a shot of Nick's Not-Rollbar and Not-Shockwave. Rather good and fun toys of the quality Hasbro/Tomy used to put out until the last run of Universe. Really excellent and well made toys. Not at all fragile like the chat I commonly hear about 3rd party toys. Good stuff. So much higher quality than current official Tf toys it isn't funny though.

Razorclaw is bulky- at that size he'll be almost a match for MP Grimlock.

No I'm not convinced about him at all. He looks overweight! Chubby in the body!

I like the bit at 9.45 where he breaks one of the wings just by pulling it off to transform |

Only watched it for a minute around the breakage bit and all I have taken from it is, Why are you making a youtube video of a toy you have only opened 20 minutes ago, or 10 minutes before the start of the video, you clearly havent had time to study it so right away its a of limited value except to show off to people that you have it.
Does look quite nice, but I'm not spending £300 on a combiner.

I must have forwarded past that bit! Yes the review in general was poor, but I tend to tune out most reviewers voices anyway 'cos they're often rubbish and unprepared, and I just look at the figure.

Aren't the Unique Toys predacons around the same price as the MMC Feral Rex predacons?

The Unique Toys War Lord set are about $60 each and the limbs are about deluxe size, with Divebomb being about the same height as Classics Rodimus while the Razorclaw mockup is about the same size as (voyager) Classics Optimus Prime. He'll presumably be more expensive.
The MMC chaps however are... well it's not entirely clear. Razorclaw is massive from the description- about the size of Universe Onslaught, the big ol' ultra-class chappie. The rest are probably about voyager sized, although Bovis/Tantrum is said to be bigger and more complex than Talon/Divebomb. Talon/Divebomb is about $90-95 while Bovis/Tantrum is about $100-105. Yeah.
