While I want this to be cool, SXS's has yet to wow me. Although it's good to seem more toys based on comic versions of characters rather than another MP style toy.

And each one seems to have it's own aesthetic. Really hard to find a shelf where they won't look out of place.

As long as this also ticks the "no partsforming" box it's a purchase for me.

This is an easy buy for me if MP scaled

Love the comic series

Pretty keen! I think their Blurr looked really nice so very interested to see how this turns out.

I sure hope it's not MP scaled, as the aesthetics will be way off, I hope it scales with the new CW Leader Ultra Magnus (IE significantly smaller than UM) then I will be happy.

What else have SXS done?

What else have SXS done?

That Gears (and Swerve repaint) toy no one bought, and recently released their take on Blur, Overclocking who is kinda IDWish but not really.

Overclocking looks ok quality wise in reviews I've seen, but I reckon he needs more paint aps, and to be more IDW accurate.

This could be interesting if it's roughly Voyager scaled and fits in with the Classics-verse. Will pass if MP

It's been a while since we've heard anything about this but SXS just posted an update on their Weibo account (http://m.weibo.cn/u/2771772471).

He looks fantastic but I'd be hard pressed to believe he transforms at all (or doesn't have a crappy crawl-around-on-all-fours transformation).

I think there's enough kibble and panels on him for us to safely assume that he does transform.

How much of a transformation it actually ends up being is something you do validly raise as an issue.

I prefer the proportions of this to MMC's Rodimus, though I have a lot more faith in their track record than that of SXS.
