    Looks promising yes. But very much still work in progress, I think - doesn't look like it actually 'works' yet. Like parts of the fenders are missing/chopped off, or just passing through the back panels - e.g. where the rear lights would be.

    Still, cant wait to see the final result. Then lament how it never gets released, at least in normal scale.

    Maybe these are only the front part of the fenders that fold onto each other

    Start showing interest directly to Weijang and this will have a high probability of being produced and it'll sell. It's a flawed mold, but the corrections needed are easy for the most part, especially at a larger scale....

    Couldn’t someone with a weibo account message them or black Apple directly and express interest? I’m sure the demand is there

    Of course he knows there's a demand. You think it's coincidence he releases this photo right before LT about to ship theirs?

    Way better than Peru Kill. His alt mode is stretched and contorted and his bot mod has proportion issues too.

    Well, Peru Kill is much better than HasTak version of Lockdown.

    Yes, don't let nit pickers fool you. Peru Kill is one of the best out there.

    Now that the initial hype has passed...

    How tf does the fenders transform at all if BOTH bottom and top are in the same place?, bacuse the top of the fender it's the one that conects to the gas tanks in the mpm mold.

    This is the answer (or so I think): They're not connected to the gas tanks (red circle). For transformation the two halfs are on a sliding round connector, so one half slides down and then rotates under the other half, like the blue panels on the back of leader Class rotf prime. (sorry if it's not perfectly clear, I'm still working on my english)

    That's exactly what it looks like to me, too. But how they connect to the rest of the back, where are the missing/chopped off fender parts (e.g. where the rear lights are), where is the toolbox between the gas tank and fenders, is all a mystery so far. That's what I meant above by it doesn't seem to be complete or fully working yet, but can't wait to see more!

    Maybe the fenders are connected to the tool boxes that end under the blue panels. It's impossible to say from this perspective. The rear lights would be on the covered half of the fenders, so maybe are just a missing detail, or again they can't be seen from this perspective.
