Images Of New iGear Sharkticon Sentry

The photo with Grimlock and Wheelie made me LOL.

If they actually makes these, I will buy a caseload of them.

amazing!

This is actually pretty cool. I may actually get this. Makes a better Grimlock accessory than the mug.

Assuming I can get this cheaper than a G1 Sharkticon, I will buy it.

While it may be more accurate color-wise, it doesn't seem to have any added articulation compared to the original.

I'd like to have a Sharkticon army!

I have 3 G1s but these seem to fit the classic line better.

I bet they will be expensive. My guess is $89 for a 3 pack.

Pretty sweet! I didn't know that Legends Wheelie was the right size to sit on MP Grimlock. Not that I have either figure.

About the Sharkticon, these little dudes are pretty cool. I have to admit, for fan-made toys, iGear's toys look good, from what I've seen.

This.

Hell, all the Quints are made by 3rd parties. Why not these? Although this does push them into actual KO teretory.

They have a lot of good ideas, but very little finished products.

so to date, what exactly has IGear created that has been sold, and what has been planned and never sold??

this will help me to determine if I should get interested in their products..

Stop teasing and start producing

Classic!

Seconded.

Nice.

I've never had a Sharkticon before, and I'd be interested in these, but I'd prefer more articulation to just a rescale of the original design.

I will be very interested to see how/if Hasbro reacts to this. I'm sure some of the Fans Project folks are curious to see the response too. What happens here may impact if/when we see FP produce their Springer and Wreck-Gar figures.

Count me in!

Yeah I'd be interested to know this too

QFT.


I kinda want one, but I'm waiting to see if the stuff I've already preordered gets done first.

Been thinking about picking up a Sharkticon on eBay and making it show accurate myself, but I keep putting it off.
I've a feeling I'll still get done first.

Nothing yet. Oh and I am loving these. No lie. I want a bunch! I seriously hope they get made.

i love the pic with wheelie and grimmy, i need to get a wheelie. and those sharkticons are awesome!

Why not make the alligator robots (allicons?) from the movie instead of the sharkticons that already exist as toys!! I've been wanting somebody to do that forever!!!

I feel it's worth noting that Fansproject isn't dumb enough to actually call their "KO"s by their namesakes....

Those look fantastic.. If I have some extra $$ I might actually pick a few up.

I feel like it's worth nothing that iGear calls this "IG-TF005: Shark Sentry"; we're the ones calling them Sharkticons....

If they can bring these in for about $20 or so a pop (seems reasonable considering the price point on both the Justitoys WST Dinobots and iGear's own Autoscout) I could see myself getting a small horde of them. I've always loved the design, and they'll look great with my Impossible Toys Quints... and I don't really care about the articulation in 'bot mode, since they will almost never leave Lots Of Teeth mode....

Looks good to me.

If these are available at a decent price then I reckon they'll sell loads of them, definitely a smart move making a figure people would use for army building.

The bot mode is off-putting, but a troop of these would be cool!

First two I agree with. Last one, it seems stupid with the articulation they are able to put out to release a figure EXACTLY like it's G1 counterpart(but smaller) and not make an attempt at some kind of show accuracy.

I would freakin' jump at a chance to buy an updated design for these things that have decent articulation.

awesome...ANOTHER announced project from iGear when they've never released ANYTHING...

I'm finding it hard to get excited about their stuff anymore (no matter how cool it might look) since it's starting to feel like nothing they show us is ever going to reach the public...


IF this comes out I will definately get it...But I can't see Hasbro being too thrilled about this...They can call it whatever they want but there is NOTHING that differentiates this from an actual Sharkticon...The design is an exact copy of the original (even if it's smaller and even it were to have more articulation or a slightly different transformation, there has been no attempt made to mask what this is)

Yeah cuz they really went crazy with the Dinorobots to make them extensively different.

I never said the Dinorobots were ok either...But I wasn't talking about them...I was talking specifically about iGear...

It's shit like this that's making Habro start to speak up on 3rd party products...Seems like all these companys are doing great, just releasing addons and upgrades to the original toys but then start getting big heads about it because Hasbro hasn't said anything and then they decide to push it a little farther and start copying Hasbros stuff outright...

One of these days Hasbro WILL do something about this and then guess what? No 3rd party products for anyone...

Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't...

Yea riiiight as if i-Gear's ever going to release something.

I mean they keep announcing stuff and shoving it but have they ever released anything?
