    Magic Square always delivers the best toon representation. NewAge and Magic Square designers continue to really refine their styles.

    this is almost an instabuy for me to replace my IF stand-in, as long as MS doesn't mess up the alt in some way. fingers crossed they give us something clean and inline with something like the MP FT version i'll be very happy.

    I have a small hope that they'll narrow his torso a bit. Shoulder to shoulder, he just looks too broad. It sort of gives him that Chris Farley trying to look buff appearance. Other than that, they seem to have nailed G1 Skyfire.

    I love IF Cygnus and I was thrilled when I finally got one, but his resale value alone would cover a couple of MST's upcoming figures.

    Is this confirming jetfire, ratchet, mirage, and hound from Magic Square? Oh how glorious the thought is!

    i don't have any hope they'll revise the torso width, it's signature MS broad and thick bot design. so i'm directing all my hope to an alt that doesn't significantly suck in some way that turns me off! as i really want a really good jetfire!!! :(

    This is very close to FT Jetfire, especially that head. But my first impression was its head is a bit too big comparing to its body, so the whole figure looks short despite of being a big guy.
    I'd love the head to be a little smaller.

    Skyfire usually was drawn with a large head

    Yes, and that image looks very good in size to me, but I just can't feel that with the MS Jetfire's head. Maybe it's just a half or 1mm bigger than my taste.

    Mirage and Ratchet seem well proportioned but Hound and Jetfire look a little too squat/smooshed. They lack real definition in their lower torso.

    Skyfire's head looks odd because we can't see his neck, due to the picture angle.

    I'll wait to see it in proper images and video, but right now it's looking awesome. Great size and perfect aesthetic.

    That was my first thought as well, the head is too big and it throws everything else off. Other than that though, excited about all of these!
