    Non-MTMTE colors. Also needs MTMTE hands, but I'd settle for just a repaint with the darker arms & legs.

    Turben is the IDW Strormbringer design instead of something more MTMTE design, which is why I never got him. I would prefer a more MTMTE one and coloring, until then Hasbro's T30 Whirl will stay in my collection. :/

    Good lord, he's massive! I mean, I knew he'd be big, but actually having a point of reference really puts things into perspective.
    Now I really want a Tankor.

    Fat. Beast Machines Tankor.
    After MMC's Strika and Obsidian, I'd really like to have the other three BM Vehicons.

    Yes! I never pulled the trigger on Strika it Obsidian but I wouldn’t be able to pass on Tankor.

    the fact that they do retools and repaints means that they are able to utlize the molds more and are able to maximize their investments. hopefully they are able to pass some of the savings onto us

    I’ve also thought of this. Although maybe not tankor. Maybe if they did a hardhead but not guzzle. I would’ve thought they could do brunt.

    I would guess (and have before) that if this mold gets re-used, BM Tankor seems the most likely candidate. The BM figures from MMC are much more in the "interpretation" realm than "slavish recreation," so Tesarus's alt-mode is more than close enough. The size is right, too. I don't know how many BM figures MMC made, but I do know they sold out more or less everywhere, so they meet *some* standard of success - just don't know if it's enough to wager on making a larger (more expensive) figure in the BM line. I hope they do, of course. Still not sure who we'd get Thrust and Jetstorm from, but hope springs eternal
