    Lack of transformation just makes it more faithful than mmc and it’s not allowed to transform. 3rd party license companies have to follow strict guidelines. Primary one is that the figures can’t transform

    I dont get why they made the hands like that. It\'s very similar to flametoys drift. This one\'s an easy pass. MMC\'s version is way better

    Because it’s a model kit not an actual figure.

    This won’t even fit in with CHUG, it’s like 6 inches tall, if that. It doesn’t scale with anything

    I just don't see what's wrong with it. it looks flat from the front, maybe but that's just like his illustrated form.

    If the nose looks too square for it, just shave the sides with a sanding sponge.

    here's the model:

    and here's one of Alex's more elaborate sketches.

    If you look closely at the model, you can see the subtle, curve of the face that matches this.

    Pssst! it does scale with something. The other flame model kits they’re making. They’re not making this so you can play with it with your CHUG collection.

    Only in Milnes sketch book that he sold at tfcon and he asked anyone not to please post it I believe. He finally revealed it early this year on Twitter.

    Essentially Megatron lays down his waist and arms turns around and his chest flips up and boom, tank. That’s it. Kinda surprised no one figured that out.

    I know that. I was telling the guy that thinks it will scale with CHUG that it doesn’t

    I am hoping that if the two IDW model kits sell better than the Amemiya Studio Trigger styled ones, then I want to see a billion more IDW kits.

    Maybe that is why these two IDW guys are being released before Amemiya Bumblebee just to test the waters.

    Bring on IDW Starscream, Bee, Hot Rod etc.

    I thought Starscream was out. I ordered him and Optimus from TFSource the other night.
