    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?

    I'd be very interested in other city-scale-formers that Planet-X may be releasing - would be so sweet if they plan on re-doing an updated Classics Trypticon.

    A WFC Trypticon that transformed into the Nemesis would make me very happy indeed.

    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.
