    Already? Geez, these must be being made side by side with the IF Lambros.

    So far, these guys haven't shown any indication of making KO's. Both their Soundwave & Ironhide have been unique. The silhouette on these is also unique

    They always prioritise cloneable moulds. Next might be Fusos or Datsuns.

    These aren't KOs, just another case of several 3rd party folks making the same characters at the same time.

    If their Sound wave and Ironhide are anything to go by, I'm in for the Lambros.

    What main character isn't cloneable? Everyone has a palette swap of some kind.

    They make new products judging by their Soundwave and Ironhide. I haven't seen pre-orders for Ironhide yet, but their Soundwave is super reasonable. I'll buy these guys.

    Mech Planet is from the designer SpikeArt, the designer behind Arkstudio which brought the legends class datsun brothers(toon style) out around 2015. Arkstudio had prototypes of the Lambos back then, but for whatever reason, perhaps the unsuccesful sales and quality issues, Arkstudio never got to the Lambos.

    Finally, bring it on Mech Planet.

    I doubt this will come anywhere near IF for bot mode, but there are few alt-modes as glorious as a Lamborghini. I'll be keeping my eye on this.

    Price alone should make this the clear winner over the other.

    In the same way that Spam wins over fillet steak and Nissan Micras win Grand Prix races.

    No. We're talking about little toys made of bits of plastic and metal. They are directly comparable.

    This one will be more G1 I'm sure, and probably have a (much) lower price. Get price gouged it you like, I'll hold out for these.

    Do we know what HS 9 and 10 are? I'd love a blaster


    Can't say I agree, I would say their soundwave is much better than iron factories. No reports of breakages for starters compared to many broken hips.

    Both will be quality figures as far as I'm concerned but I'll be picking up this guy based on cost and alt mode.

    I hope these don't have short thighs. That silhouette looks worrying.

    If versions are a definite for me but will get these also provided they don't have that stupid short thigh long shins design that so many 3p suffer from
