    I do hope someone picks this up. It's one of the few Micromasters I would like to have now as a Generations toy.

    The current issue of MTME with him in it is a very nice design. Hopefully if these guys don't do it we might get an official toy or someone else might run with the idea. Hopefully Countdown isn't killed though in the issue he is introduced in (they have being known to do that :(  )

    ^ Right? I read the preview and my first thought was, "Countdown!!!" followed immediately by, "Please don't die yet!" :lol

    Maybe Nonnef could produce this? If he was involved we might even see rubber tires. ;-)

    yup. They killed him. He never gets to live up to his potential. Leader of the Autobot Micromasters and all.

    Lesser 'bots have recovered from worse. he wasn't even a Micromaster in the MTME, so maybe this can be a catalyst for his miniaturization.

    I am sure this project is DEADER than dead, huh @CZ Hazard ? Tis a shame; I would be so up for a couple of these at the very least.

    I don't even know if the designer is still into Transformers or doing any CAD work tbh. Hope he is.

    But yeah, one of many dead projects. Anytime I've recommended any MicroMaster characters even as repaints for existing molds, the 3P companies aren't interested.

    Perhaps MAAS Toys could pick this up? They seem to work really well with niche items.

    Reviving a thread now that micromasters are a thing even Hasbro is paying attention to again.

    I've always thought this was a good idea.

    Okay, slight revision:

    I want them to get their act together. Produce everything already on the schedule and then maybe we can talk about Countdown.

    [Which is a shame because that guy is a personal favorite of mine.]

    And it better not be a crowdfunded effort.
