According to Cassy Sark's Facebook page and the TFW2005 Feral Rex thread, it looks like there's an MMC Overlord in the works.

So bought.

yay i really wanted an alternative to BTS.

hopefully he's made a lot more playable. i found hexatron slightly difficult to just freely play with.

'Freely play with' as in easily moving none ratcheting joints?

When i was playing with Hexatron, I was thinking "Man, an MMC Overlord would be fantastic!" And it seems the toy gods answer prayers more readily than the others. Although it's gonna be along three years to wait for it.
I just noticed "Megachild" in the corner of the Carnifex teaser. Yaaaaay!

Yeah I read about people talking about Megachild but couldn't see how they knew it was included in the design until I looked at the pic more closely.

Brightened up pic showing Megachild and the artistic direction (at this point) more closely:



It certainly looks very much to be in the same sculpt style as Hexatron.

The render has no IDW lips but that doesn't mean anything. I just hope the face sculpt ends up like the PE upgraded Botcon Overlord. Despite the terrible choice of body for the character, that retooled head was really good.

Looks like Overlord's IDW lips have become the new 'tilting ankles' at TFW for Carnifex. People are threatening exclusively to boycott if he doesn't have the lips and not just any lips but 'Sexy pouty lips that look good.'



Naturally there is also the opposition who want a strictly 'geewunn' inspired Overlord and for him to be gigantic for base mode. The IDW People point them to BTS Toys but they don't seem interested in them despite them catering to what they want.

I think the main impeding factor to free play with Hexatron are the sword sheath ports. Moving them around and getting them in their respective sweet spots for each of the modes meant that Hexatron needed to be handled with more care.

like if you look at MP-10 and Mp-13 - they're very easy to play with and dont have anything hindering the arm and legs. I love how i can dynamically pose them without trouble.

hexatron i find the purple flaps at the knees, those on the chest and the sword scabbards to be sometimes annoying - they make the toy more delicate

Yeah but they are removable which should fix that.

Ah ok. I don't find most of those issues so troublesome but then again, I don't know how you play with your toys. Plus those things are an mostly an inheritance of the G1 design, specially the chest flaps which the designers must have felt to be 'intergral' to the Sixshot character look and I agree with them. To me the only real problem which I agree with is the scabbards but as mentioned, they are removable.
