That site does not allow hotlinking. And you need to be registered in order to see them anyway.

Comparing it with my Thunderwing, and you're right! He's got two right arms!

The irony is sooooo unbelievably thick. Seriously, who would have thought FP wouldhave QC problems on a figure! SURELY NOT I!!!
So... does this pretty much solidify Funpub's resignation as the "official fanclub" of transformers?

Even though everyone would love that, no. Keep dreaming. Besides, assembly errors are mostly the factories' fault, and should not affect the entire run of a figure. Plus, they happen more often than you think.

Apparently it's just a colour sample and not the final product.

Apnea wrote:Ah, sorry, it was from a link I previously had. If you Google BotCon Metalhawk it's like the third image on the page. I swear there was a better photo, but I'm not too keen on the figure, so apologies if I'm sort of being a loser here.
You are not being a loser but if you are refering to this photo:
It's just a photoshop mockup. While the one in the original post (looking like it may not be final product and at a weird angle. An obvious attempt to hide his missassembled flaw) is a physical figure.

Human faces do not belong on robot bodies.

Because every single Pretender homage ever has been to the shell, not to the bot inside. Every single one. And they just did the Cyclonus mold 2 years ago for Shattered Glass and they generally don't double dip on molds like that.
Still, I like it and can't wait to put it with my Classics Minerva (C Override).

I am with you. Human faces on robots wierds me out. It feels like it should belong to a different line of toys altogether.

I imagine there being a bunch of poor Metalhawks with 2 left/right forearms already sealed in the boxset.
Then Hasbro goes all like "We said the boxset comes with 6 figures, we never said the figures would come with a left and right forearm. Furthermore, this does not harm the toy." *cough*SG Drift's gun*cough*
