    If I recall their seacons are around voyager size which suggests this guy is leader sized, possibly a little bigger.

    Plus it’s armour installed over a smaller inner bot so I figure he’ll be substantial in final form. Possible MP-22 height or so?

    Leader sized works for me, big enough to be imposing and fun but not crazy pricey.

    I reckon judging by his hands and screw holes he's mp10 sized by default and about an inch taller with his armor.

    let's say he's MP-10 sized

    doesn't mean he's MP scale correct? :p

    This is the cabinet next to where he was displayed.

    I think mp10 or slightly bigger height is a good call. In any event I can't wait to see the coloured version and find out pricing.

    Tfc are fairly consistent these days so should hopefully be a good release like King Poseidon was.

    Dammit, I have absolutely no scale of reference for any of those figures. Lol. But the pink and blue one that was right next to him was on a shelf raising him a couple of inches and they were about the same height at the head.
    Research suggests these are the TFC Piranacons and the figure is Cyberjaw. Seeing a listed height of 16cm (about 6.5 inches for you yanks.) add two niches or so for the shelf and we’re looking at 8.5-9 inches. MP-10 height give or take. I think lazyaza will be spot on with his height estimate. That works perfectly for my OptiMegs collection. Just need a classic red and blue Prime deco.

    If there were any designs made from the dreamwave gi joe vs tf ww2 comics I would buy EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. They can go next to my Hearts of Steel figures and this guy.

    I'm guessing 12" based on the pic that has it beside the Piranicon

    His add-on hands are the exact same hands as TFC's Road Caesar so maybe around that size.

    I could be interested, but it would probably depend on where the price hits.

    That was my first thought when I saw the multiple logos in different colors.

    I looked up the GI Joe Rolling Thunder because I didn't know either. Apparently it was a giant vehicle, 3 feet long (beats Fort Max by a foot!).

    All those pages really should be sent to TFC.

    Personally I hate articulated hands. I have no use for them and they generally just get in the way. I can live with fully pinned ones, but avoid KFC style like the plague.

    I've never even heard rumors of TFC and KFC being related so I'd be shocked. Also TFC's hands that are articulated (I think only combined mode hands) have been pinned rather than ball joints at the base (other than the thumb).

    I'm really excited to see this come along. Hopefully, with a fair price, I'll add it to my CHUG collection. Reprolabels will be getting some renewed interest in GI-Joe/transformer sticker sets, for sure! However, being British, I demand "Action Force" stickers...

    Also, I just remembered; we could, with a little imaginative stretch, call this character "Sergeant Optimus Prime"...

    Had the Joe toy as a kid so I'm mildly interested in this. Shame it's TFC Toys though; I haven't seen anything from them I'd consider to be excellent. =\

    I was just thinking today why haven't third parties tackled the Gijoe Crossovers yet. Honestly why not start with the ICONIC Hiss tank!

    It probably wouldn't hurt to go ahead and contact them and suggest the "Action Force" option. Without knowing who actually works there I could see them having room to overlook that on their own.

    All I know is from the first post which Scaleface was kind enough to share.

    I've already asked them about OS Titans Return stickers for Wei Jiang your toys, plus combined TR/Legends PM OP/Ginrai stickers, but haven't heard a peep from them yet...

    There have been several Transformers vs GI Joe crossovers, but this is a standalone design iwth no story attached to it.
