Third party group Iron Factory has just revealed new images of a Diaclone inspired repaint of their Ultra Magnus figure (which is soon to be released). These images show off a test shot of the figure, so we are still a ways out from full release.
For now, check out the first test shot images after the jump and sound off with the discussion link below!

It's fine. IF is pure gold.

This guy has been out to buy for while, but still no video reviews.
Help anyone?

Thanks for the link, that's the sort of price I'm happy to wait a couple weeks to get it for rather than paying $50 at North American retailers.

Got mine today from Uncle Billy's ebay store: Transformers Iron Factory If EX04G Dia City Commander in Stock | eBay
Really nice little figure. I'm very impressed with the amount of paint on this mold, though it makes me nervous about wear and scratching. I think the blue could have been a little darker, but overall it's quite eyecatching.

Mine is awaiting shipment at ages3andup. Can't wait. He is coming with Iron Factory Overlord.

Ive only seen it in stock in HK so far so NA and Europe probably waiting for theirs to turn up in stock still.
It's a lovely figure.

Nice! You beat out North America, no one here has it so far, I don't think?

Yep, and $54.95 so not a big jump over the previous versions.

Thanks.

Ages3andup has this up for preorder. Expected to arrive in June.

Yeah it can't carry MP12 and friends so obviously a huge Legends-sized failure there.
Is Robot Kingdom the only place that's going to carry this? I'll buy from them if I have to but their post isn't that great and their packages always attract customs-readings.

I skipped the original waiting for this version and I was starting to think it would never come out. I do wish just one set had the gun pods/shields in white though.

Aside from the wheels, these things can't really be held against it. It's a Legends Class figure, so obviously some things have to be sacrificed.
Although honestly I'm not double-dipping either, so despite defending this I'm being quite hypocritical.

I'm such a sucker for Diaclone Magnus colors, and I think I can live with the black cab. I still have mixed impressions about this mold after seeing reports of paint rubbing and minor tolerance issues, and that the vehicle mode is pretty abstract, but I might have get on board this time around.
