The Retro and Relevant Toy Show is underway in Vancouver – and Renderform are in attendance to show off some of their upcoming projects. In addition to their Death Czar kit to turn Predacons Rising Darksteel into Deathsaurus they are also showing off some cool other pieces including some alternate heads for the upcoming Mech Ideas Gauntlet / Ironfist, a painted version of the Overload-inspired head for FansProject Steel Core and a lion-themed sword and shield weapon set, intended for Transformers Prime Thundertron or rather, his Leo Prime redecos. Big thanks to daimchoc and Carissa Dutton for passing these along to us.

The little tag in front f the head for Steel Core called it "Project Magnum".

Can't wait! There's not enough female robot figures out there.
daimchoc
Sorry bud. I thought that was your handle here. Fixing my posts now. Thanks again for sharing that video.

So are most of these based on Japanese characters, comics, or ??? Just curious coz I don't recognize any of the besides the Predaking.
Peaugh
Oh, yeah, that. I was sent the last three test shots at the same time, and the cannon came fully assembled, so I assumed the Leo cannon part came with Leo, I wasn't aware that it was being packaged with Tigris at the time. The full cannon will definitely be all there when Feral Rex is complete.
Peaugh
This. They are most definitely still on the way.

There's never been any doubt that Feral Rex will have his cannon.
The confusion was simply the fact that Leo Dux doesn't come packed with his segment, so people started freaking out when Leo Dux shipped to them gun-less, despite Peaugh's reviews showing him with his cannon.
But it's been explained that in an attempt to even out the production costs, that portion's coming with Tigris instead.

WOW that Leo Knight set looks fantastic!! Esp the shield!
Venksta
Azalea and her sisters are happening. There should be a big announcement in the coming weeks.
Catatronic
Those females are the ONLY Transformers toys I'm really interested in. I've been checking for updates every week but all ever see is all that movie garbage on the front page. They better still be happening. I'm upset that they haven't been released yet. I thought they'd be out a long time ago.

Daim aka jimmynguyen41 here lolz!
Peaugh
huh? I've posted several pics of the combined cannon on Talon. It's how mine's been displayed for months.
Natephoenix
Azalea is still happening. I'm stoked.

SC was, according to FP, meant to be his own character.
However, many folks kept speculating/suggesting that he was some sort of Armada Overload (or specifically Magnus) take… even suggesting that the comics were hinting that. Again though, FP said no.
A while back Venksta figured to make this unintended homage more apparent by whipping up a mock-up Core and Head to homage Magnus/Overload properly. He has since mentioned that, while initially interested, it seems that FP/FPC won't be mass producing an Overload Core… and that the head itself might get a limited run by his own service. (There's a lot of parts to make, and apparently it'd be pricey compared to his other projects.)
Anyway… that Leo Knight set looks nice, as do all the weapons, but that's usually a given, isn't it?

I want to like that Deathsaurus head, but either it's too small or the neck is too long or both.

Its interesting that Rex does have the combined cannon on Talon. As I recall, there was concern about that be available or not when Peaugh received his test copies. I'm pretty sure we have seen in on Talon in other pics, but I've always chalked it up as possibly only a little blue tack magic. Hopefully this verifies it for the final release.
David Hingtgen
Hmmn, that's still an early Talon, probably same "age" as Peaugh's etc.
deaculpa
dont quote me but i thought the steelcore upgrade was supposed to be someone else. can anyone confirm?
