    Checked their Weibo, it says 9cm which is good. Next question how much and when.

    Looking forward to these! Might not have the engineering that Magic Square is putting out, but they should prove to be more affordable and fit into that scale at 9cm. Plus, I don't see anyone else doing Diaclone homages, so thanks ToyWorld!

    Well I guess it’s a good time to buy with these and the MP+ announced this year.

    I didn't get a Wheeljack in case they make an anime deco one that I like more.
    But it was more by accident that intent to be honest I don't have Bluestreak, Tracks, or Smokescreen either. Heck I don't even have an MP-10 (I just have the Shattered Glass KO) But I find the upscaled and the downscaled stuff rather appealing.

    Tracks was a fair miss. Bluestreak and smokescreen are really nice. MP10 is a bit overrated anyway so there’s no real problem. There’s better options coming as well.

    I have a WST Tracks he's fun. I'd not mind a legends size or legends plus size one some time.
    I kind missed him out as I wanted one with rubber tires and I kinda hit a brick wall with the chinese sellers trying to find someone selling one with rubber tires. besides I already have Loud Pedal and Road Rage so I'm not missing much.

    Is anyone going to make a teeny Hound sometime - or get more adventurous with their choices like making one of the small sub-group characters - that might be really interesting if you took characters like Guzzle, Fizzle & Sizzle who were hampered by their gimmicks and made them as small toys - those G1 & G2 toys with hampered articulation would be a fun thing to do.

    Magic Square and Iron Factory have announced they are making a tiny Hound. But it has all been silhouettes and drawings, no prototypes yet.

    They are progressing quickly. I figured these wouldn't be out until after Chinese New Year. Once painted I might have to pick up Wheeljack.

    I'm hoping the end price is fairly reasonable. I always liked Toyworld designs but wonder what they will be like without the Zeta designers

    It's a shame they forgot where elbows go, because otherwise this is a really nice design. Dealbreaker for me though :\

    I mean if we're going to keep G1/Diaclone limitations/flaws intact, why even have modern figures? Not a huge deal at all and I'm happy for those who like it as-is, but I will just go for the MS Toys one instead.

    Just an homage to design elements.

    And that is the nice thing right now: there will be alot of options. Iron Factory will have their version for those who prefer a modern aesthetic and Magic Square will have G1 alternative. Who knows maybe X-transbot or NewAge will jump in with a fourth alternative.
