    looks more like a Lawn Dart than a Tetra Jet.

    Great Googa Mooga!!!! I've been hankering for some Tetra Jets for years. I've hovered over the "Buy" button on the Impossible Toys ones on eBay so many times and kept deciding not too.
    I'd love if these where MP scale, would probably settle for large Voyager scale, and if they're any smaller than that, I'll pray for massive success and popularity so that WeiJiang oversizes them.
    Edit: only just realised that MAAS toys are the one who did that pseudo-cybertronian Bumblebee which seems roughly MP scaled. If they keep to that general scale I'll be pumped.

    I'm amazed at how clean and nice that bot mode looks. The chest cockpit is really G1, while the Tetra Jet has a nice pointy elongated cockpit. If they're able to make these look this good, I'll be in for at least the seekers, and maybe even coneheads and possibly rainmakers... depending on price.

    I do have a faint fear the back will be a horrible mess. The first, hand drawn art seems to show the long tetra nose cone hanging down behind like an enormous pointed butt-flap, and that part is suspiciously absent from the computer render... but even the pointy butt-flap would be ok with me.

    I'll be watching this very carefully.

    This certainly looks better than the Impossible Toys version by a wide margin.

    This thing has to be hiding a giant backpack.

    Among all the combiners and Mp figures, finally this design gets a thread. Find it to be one of the most interested things unveiled alongside the GT Beast Wars stuff. 3P is choking itself to death with the MP madness. Original or derivative stuff like this (or the Maketoys Cross Dimension line) brings a breath of fresh air.

    I hope these are Voyager sized, too, to fit with my CHUG collection. A lot of people are suggesting they may be MP sized though... which would then result in them being "MP" tetrajets.
    Hopefully your comment won't be construed as unintentional irony down the line. :p

    On a serious note, if they aren't MP seeker size I'm out no matter what. Same thing that stopped me from getting Impossible Toys' version.

    i would prefer if they used the War Within designs for the tetrajets ... they had imposing alt modes and awesome robot modes, plus they were different yet alike between them
