    How big is the main bots going to be? Imagine he's going to need to be pretty big to maintain scale with other combiners.

    Why would TFC photoshop in pertinent details if they had no intention of including those details? Just because those details aren't included on a test shot?

    As for Reprolables, while they seem super determined to crank out a set for every official Hasbro release they've really gotten behind on 3P toys. They haven't done any sets for Poseidon yet, and the first of those was out 9 months ago. If they do a set for these guys, cool, but I wouldn't count on it for making a purchasing decision.

    Looks like I may have to buy a TFC toy again after all these years. An updated Road Caesar has been another dream toy for me.

    Why did they add a front foot extension, looks like a rabbit foot.

    Kibble count creeping up, not liking that yellow thing for foot mode.

    This would be my question also.--^ I have a feeling that the final will include this feature and that the person who said 'not likely' to including the tampos was only guessing. Heck, I'm only guessing, but as long as we're both guessing... I hope my guess is correct. :D 

    Ultimately I hate after market stickers. They peel, they don't lay right over detented line detail and they're something the buyer has to buy in addition to the purchase of the base figure.

    Interesting that they're following the paint scheme of the real car---even closer than MP Sideswipe did. (The specific Countach that Sideswipe is based on is unique both physically and how it's painted). This is very much "that Countach, but in yellow".

    This guy still feels like the designer that used to do MT's combiners.

    Yeah the cars Sideswipe is based on is a Walter Wolf special that was only available in red or blue with black wheel fenders. TFC should have just painted the whole car yellow.

    Really, they should have made it a 25th Ann. Countach like the original G1 character was, rather than copying and re-hashing the MP Sideswipe mold.

    Nah, not enough ball joints.

    While I supposed they could have done a little more homework, I guess it really boils down to not everyone being a car guy. I'd imagine for most people a Countach is a Countach is a Countach. They just don't know that there's a difference between the type of Countach Sideswipe is and the type of Countach this guy is.

    Hell, I do know; I just don't care enough not to get him. It's close enough for me.

    I have little to no idea who these characters are, but wow does this look good. And with the stability and quality improvements on posidon, this is shaping up to be a buy.

    Yeah, considering this is the original G1 car, I am really not fussed about it, not being a Countach expert. My tolerance for accuracy increases once we're beyond Diaclone molds, and it's probably the only Laster we're going to get. I just hope they've learned something between Hades and Poseidon and apply it here.

    TFC Weibo
    16cm tall bot mode
    30cm tall combined mode
    6.30" bot modes and 11.81" combined

    According to the scale chart TFC Trinity Force is in scale with MP-24. He is partsforming so I don't see the problem with another design upgrading his height to match up to combiners while doing less with Blacker. I may get this to simply be in scale with Star Saber if I don't feel like anyone else will get to him. This is an excellent design.

    MF/Victory has been a problem that I have asked about before because it shows the leaders like Overlord, God Ginrai, Victory Saber, and Deathsaurus rivaling combiners. Then you have normal 5 or 6 member combiners that should remain somewhat equal to one another and then these weird Autobot combiners with one at 3 and another at 6 or 3 depending on how you look at it. Since MF/Victory combiners are separate from the ones up to HM, can downscale them to 16-18"? I prefer the Toyworld 20" scale for combiners where a couple may be less than that but it matches them up consistently. I can do with the leaders being outmatched and chalk it up to foolish heroic vanity. I will throw out what I prefer for MF/Victory scale wise based on what we have and where the toys are going. I also have the holy scale chart below for MF/Victory but it shows figures slouching, etc. Of course it will prove me wrong but it is inconsistent with the toon as always.

    Star Saber 34cm or 13.4" (TT MP-24)
    Victory Leo 33cm or 13" (KFC Simba)
    Victory Saber 40cm or 15.5" (TT+KFC)
    OP 24cm or 9.5" (TT MP-10)
    PMOP 30cm or 11.8"
    God Ginrai 34cm or 13.4" (Same as TT MP-24)
    Overlord 36cm or 14.2" (MMC Carnifex 31.5cm or 12" is perfect for me)
    Deathsaurus 37cm or 14.5"
    Road Caesar 50cm or 20" or (41cm or 16.1" to work with Victory Saber)
    Landcross 50cm or 20"or (41cm or 16.1" to work with Victory Saber)
    Dinoking 50cm or 20" or (41cm or 16.1" to work with Victory Saber)
    Liokaiser 50cm or 20"or (41cm or 16.1" to work with Victory Saber)
    Piranacon 50cm or 20"or (41cm or 16.1" to work with Victory Saber)
    Omega Supreme 55cm or 21.6" (FT-20 Terminus Giganticus) + all the steroids in the world = Galaxy Shuttle!
    Devastator 50cm or 20"
