    Not all of Black Apple's designs have been mass produced. He is a customizer and isn't directly employed by any one company as far as I understand.

    Yeah, has any of his post-Hound work been turned into a figure yet?

    I am soooooo ready for this though. This is EXACTLY what I wanted out of a MPM Prime. :D

    As stated previously, no one said it will be either.

    It's a logical conclusion though, just not a guarantee.

    now that i can see it better, below the gas tanks, there are two holes.

    Anyway, i do hope the gas tanks aren't like that in vehicle mode too.

    Now that's something. Wonder if they could allow those fender parts be towards the outside of the tanks, though. If not, this is a great solution!

    It's not up to him, it's up to Weijiang or some other company to pick up his designs.

    We don't know what's going on at this point.

    I think it's just the chest is a little bit too short and/or wide, though this design makes it way less obvious than on the og figure

    Edit: actually, the lack of tilt of the windscreens might play a part as well, but now I'm just nitpicking

    You and ratchet joints are the best relationship on TFW.

    I'd like the oversized version for scale. I'm hoping for an oversized firage.

    I'm hoping that TFEvo makes a transforming sculpture of Dino. I agree that this should be bigger for SCALE.

    To be fair, he uses all these renders to actually customize most of his figures.

    Wow, wow, WOW!!! I can't believe how elegant and beautiful the back is! Absolutely, absolutely brilliant! By having the wheel wells fold up like that, you not only get them in the proper shape, you get them really thin as well! Of course, you don't get the red pieces going over the tanks like they're supposed to, but who cares.

    They're the same guys making the Hot Rod, right? When you say "sculpture" that gives me the impression that it wouldn't be poseable, is that what you mean?

    That right. They're making Fire Hot. I say sculpture because their Fire Hot is a transforming sculpture meaning when viewed from any angle it's screen accurate.... in both modes.
