Co-incidentally, I had a crack at FOC last night and was thinking how little the official toy looked like the game model. Hopefully this guy is a lot smaller. If so I may be interested.
Maybe it's Planet-X?

This looks like not much more than a concept, it certainly has a style, though a bit bland looking at the moment.
I'm without doubt picking up the Generations Metroplex, which while not entirely modelled after the game, with more of a G1redux feel to it, I think the official toy will be so much more fun than this third party option, that looks even more like a robot sitting down.
there are plenty of characters in wfc/foc that hasbro/takara could have worked on to release to make collectors happy - but didn't
i don't actually have any FOC toys (surprisingly) because i feel they're mostly poorly designed and just filler toys until TF4 comes out.
I am not wow-ed by it. In fact if this is more than an early mock up and is being released i would be concerned for the backers.
Pros:
- game accurate
Cons:
- it is late.
- gen Metroplex out already.
- gen Metroplex and 3P Omega Supreme are on such a massive scale. This needs to be as big as gen Metroplex and compete with it.
- design is too simple so far.
Assumptions:
- IF big like gen Metroplex think of the cost.
- Not enough of a market now that gen Metroplex is standing-in in a lot of collections.
Better off trying to remould or make chest addons for gen Metroplex.

I just hope the edges aren't as rounded as they look in these renders. Base mode looks like a jello mold.
