    Even though I love Nick Roche's art, I wish they didn't base their toy off of it. The lineart here looks almost like a parody of Ironfist, or at least should include "SD" somewhere in the title.

    Same here. Looks pretty straightforward as far as transformation goes, and I like the bulk of it. But just like you said, a decent price and good quality will decide this guy, much as I want an Ironfist.

    I thought the same thing. With iGear seemingly having lost interest in putting out Presser maybe he took his design skills elsewhere.

    Holy cow. I just want to put him in my pocket and carry him around all day -- he's that cuddly-looking.

    Hope the final product turns out just as cute! <3

    This definitely looks promising. The only problem I see, is that we've got nothing to accompany the aesthetic if they are using Roche's design.

    I'd love me an Ironfist, but I need the rest of the wreckers in that design, otherwise I'd just have this figure that is completely out of place. Sure there's Hasbro's Springer, but unless the remainder of the wreckers get made with the Nick Roche touch, it would feel incomplete.

    If this lands in the $30-55 range I'll bite, the lower the better though, and I hope we can see some more Wreckers that need proper releases: Whirl, Roadbuster and Rotorstorm to name a few

    It looks to fit in with the current Springer and Mech Ideas Demo Crew so that's at least 4 down, hopefully Fansproject will do a massive Roadbuster next

    I'd like to see a Deftwing, Calcar, and Fearswoop made in this style as well.

    I don't know if MI's Topspin and Twintwist have the same styling as Nick Roche's design. They seem to be a more up to date G1 homage whereas springer and this potential Ironfist have that IDW Nick Roch look.

    Not trying to start a war, I just don't see it.

    I just hope they don't try to charge outrageously for it.... Like Transformazing is for that Magnus trailer.
