Looks nice - but im going with MMC's version which will be bigger, better articulated and look badass next to my Hexatron

This is supposed to be a Prime? Seems to take it's design cues from Maketoys Paladin.

Wow that looks really nice!
Hard to believe that there will be a better one.

wholy crap I stand corrected! Thanks for the shots!
that looks even more amazing!!!

See THIS is what 3rd party companies should be concentrating on. Figures that are highly unlikely to get a HasTak release. I want to see a MP scaled Straxus, Jhiaxus, Thunderwing, etc.

While the Maketoys one looks cool, IF I get one, it will be MMC's.

No way, endless iterations of the same few combiners is way more important!:P

So this is meant to be Nova Prime from the early IDW stuff?

So MMC is doing the same character. Their version is indeed more grand if it does come out as good as that on the CGI model. it's bigger too is it? Just how big are these figures going to be? Don (Figueroa) must be a bit pissed hehehe as he gets no royalty from these 3rd party companies for a character model he created officially. ;)

MMC's is scaled to Hexatron. So it should be a little taller than MP-10.

I remember reading Don was making his own toyline - what happened to that?
