You see, that's a tale long lost to Cybertronian Lore. Back in the days before the Golden Age of Cybertron, a Cybertronian known as Henrious Fordion was the pioneer of the transformation cog assembly line and produced the first Alternate Form that was affordable and practical for the everyday Cybertronian to use. The introduction of the Model T-Cog revolutionized the evolution of Cybertron, and was the start of a long lasting legacy of the Ford T-Cog Company.

They'll go to any lengths to peddle their wares apparently.

I will happily take this model in game. Don't hold back High Moon, let us have it. More, more, MORE!!!!

Falcatron my ass, that's Skids.

Looks awesome though.

Pretty darn cool.

And I'm glad that Falcatron's character isn't necessarily a crazy Australian stereotype - Foster's, the Outback, kangaroos, "That's not a knife - THAT'S a knife," etc.

Yeah, 8/12 was a long time ago.

Here's the post of the announcement.

The car is going to be an Autobot, it will end up being a Falcon XR6 Turbo Sedan, coloured in Ford blue, and will be named Falcatron.

The concept art will be ready in a couple of weeks.

It would be nice if a toy or a DLC existed instead of just concept art! Still, awesome!

Hey, that Falcon (Falcatron, lol?) looks pretty cool - but he would have been much cooler as a certain heavily-modified 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon!

(also sadly somewhat confirms High Moons designs are still weak even when working from a more Earth-based alt mode ~ I wish they'd just do a game using existing G1 designs instead of their uninspired wedge vehicles and glowey triangle robots; their G1 Prime skin looks totally amazing...)

This man speaks the truth.

All this artwork does for me is makes me want a Classics Skids. Well, that and puzzle at the perspective going on in that right leg...

Looks pretty cool, Id imagine it wouldnt be that hard to make a custom off it since the design is pretty simple.

KnightHawkke · 08-24-2012, 08:25 PM

Colors sure are pretty.
