    You see, that's a tale long lost to Cybertronian Lore. Back in the days before the Golden Age of Cybertron, a Cybertronian known as Henrious Fordion was the pioneer of the transformation cog assembly line and produced the first Alternate Form that was affordable and practical for the everyday Cybertronian to use. The introduction of the Model T-Cog revolutionized the evolution of Cybertron, and was the start of a long lasting legacy of the Ford T-Cog Company.

    They'll go to any lengths to peddle their wares apparently. ;) 

    I will happily take this model in game. Don't hold back High Moon, let us have it. More, more, MORE!!!!

    Pretty darn cool.

    And I'm glad that Falcatron's character isn't necessarily a crazy Australian stereotype - Foster's, the Outback, kangaroos, "That's not a knife - THAT'S a knife," etc.

    It would be nice if a toy or a DLC existed instead of just concept art! Still, awesome! :D

    Hey, that Falcon (Falcatron, lol?) looks pretty cool - but he would have been much cooler as a certain heavily-modified 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon!:D

    This man speaks the truth.

    All this artwork does for me is makes me want a Classics Skids. Well, that and puzzle at the perspective going on in that right leg...

    Looks pretty cool, Id imagine it wouldnt be that hard to make a custom off it since the design is pretty simple.

    That actually makes far more sense than it has any right to.

    No DLC!!?!!?!?!?

    Ugh, it just shows how on-disk DLC is bad, because new ideas can't be made into DLC. Except for the part where you can see others using the DLC, but that's it.

    So has anyone noticed that in almost all of High Moon's designs, the car parts on the chest horribly shrinks between the vehicle and robot modes? Its extremely noticable on Jazz, Bumblebee, and Optimus when he transforms.

    This guy has the same problem and as someone else said, proves that High Moon's chunky robot designs are kind of weak.
