True but it would be pretty easy to confirm since the first one has been released. All you gotta do is transform it into arm mode and place it next to God Sigma if you have one.

Interesting... Neck breaker has alt-mode feet!  I wonder where the Hercules hand will go. Exgraver was a genius design to hide the parts-former pieces in vehicle mode but I Neck breaker looks a bit more compact in vehicle mode. Hmm... looks like the wrist piece is on the back of the vehicle-mode? I like the Mad Blender cement mixer becoming weapons. I normally hate parts-forming but this is okay because I could imagine his detatching that part so and then pick it all up in robot mode. Transforming back into a truck though could be problematic... good thing he'll have 5 other friends to help pick up his parts-forming pieces! And I don't have much to say about Structor... I mean. He turns into a foot, which is practically his alt-mode turned vertical. No obvious surprises with this photos to me. |

Kneck Breaker reminds me of the Steam Hammer PCC figure. I really do not like the front of the cab on the mixer. Seems like it might have been designed a little better.

Why does Neck Breaker have Exgraver's legs and feet in the second picture?!

Maybe they wanted to see if anyone would notice. Or maybe they just wanted to make a point that they could have used the same legs if they wanted to be lazy, but chose to make new ones. The parts on the sides of his legs are on backwards, too.

Don't worry, it's definitely a prototype because the wheels are not even black ;D. Looks like the TFC is turning out really nicely, but I'm still holding out for the Maketoys version. I just like the overall looks of their product better. For people who has purchased the TFC's Not-Scavenger, what is its approximate weight, so we can estimate the weight of the completed bot? 198 grams or 6.98 oz, with both guns Also, just for giggles, and because I misread it the first time and thought you were looking for size, here's my crummy cellphone pics of what I just had sitting on the desk   Hmm, if each components has similar weight, the total combined weight would be about 1.2 kg. This is a big and heavy toy, I hope the designers have taken this consideration into the design for the connection points. Otherwise it will be floppy and won't be able to stand under its own weight without a support stand. But since we've seen the prototype standing independently, this should not be an issue at all. |

My Armada Unicron is king of floppy and I just opened it this week. It still is able to hold a decent pose though.
And also, this thing is beautiful and the wait is killing me. I'd even go so far as to say that from the pictures alone, this may be the most beautifully engineered toy ever made. Of course the final say on this will have to be made when it's fully done.

He's got those legs in all of his pictures. He uses the same design as Exgraver's legs, but with additional parts from the scoops. You can see the folded up feet that are normally deployed on Exgraver are still present even when he's using the shovels for feet. He essentially has the exact same leg molds as Exgraver, but with extra parts. |

Exgraver's legs are entirely different, different tread pattern and rolling wheels in the tread instead of the rollers shown here. Take a closer look at Devastator's two arms for a comparison.

Neckbreaker has two different transformations for his feet. You can fold the shovel style feets upwards to get a hip armor look, with Exgraver style feet, or you can fold those shovels down to get the new look. Those shovel are connected to those parts on the side of the legs regardless so it is not add on or clip on parts. They did this because the shovel style feet isn't so stable.
As for the knee articulation for the combine form, kinda weak because it is more like lower thighs articulation. Pretty much the connection sockets from Scrapper and Mixmaster is where it bends, like from Fansprojects Munitioner (Swindle). I was hoping that Scrapper and Mixmaster has some kind of bending mechanism in the middle part of vehicle leg mode for knee articulation, so that it looks more like knees.

I guess this is the final version of Heavy Labor.    The VHS ruins the vehicle mode T_T. I don't think I'll be able to load anything properly on him! |

the fun part is to put both hands to turn him into a gorilla :  About this picture, the orange version remind me the European G1 Devastator... Maybe TFC will produce an Orange one... Anyone knows if Exgraver crane gonna be automatically included in Heavylabor box ? |

Hey, I was not far from the original !
Now different schools will fight !
"The green barrel from the South", "the black barrel from the North" and "the middle east Grey barrel" !
^__^
Structor and Dr Cranck (no gun ?) are very green...
Love this big boy !

I am hoping that these aren't the final color schemes. The Devastator head looks odd. I know that the original is black and silver face, but I was hopng that this one has more detailing and colors to it. The eyes should be a light piping red piece, and they should extend that piece inside of the rectangular part on the middle of the forehead.
