    Definitely want Megatron and would get some vehicons, but it would be even better to jump right to Airachnid and Hardshell right after Optimus.

    Man - i didn't realize at first this is a non-transforming line. I got back into TF's watching some of the TFP cartoons and thought the animation and stories were pretty cool. I would have been all in for updated 3p takes on the TFP characters and designs but probably not if non-transforming. Just not enough space!

    Looking forward to all the pics from those who do pick him up!

    Okay so I'll take prime, megatron, as many vehicons as I can get, airachnid, knockout, some insecticons and maybe an Arcee.
    Honestly I'm loving this already, I just hoooope they fit in scale with the figures we already have.
    This is going to get expensive....

    My Optimus collection is lacking a TF Prime representative and this would be perfect.

    I would love a Megatron 2.0 and even a dragon mode Predaking would be cool (even though I hate him as a character, his design is incredibly awesome).

    Just think of the possibilities :D

    Sweet! Hopefully this will lead tp us getting more show accurate figures of Knock Out and Airachnid in the near future.

    I swear to Primus that this dude and (holy cow do I ever hope) an accompanying Megatron with Dark Star Saber would be dreams come true.

    To be honest, I'm not seeing the need for this. First Edition OP was a very decent figure - I can see the appeal in a improved and possibly upsized KO in the vein of Wei Jiang's M-01 Commander, but not in a new and non-transforming sculpt.

    Supply and demand.

    I am waiting for a supply of screen accurate, Mp scaled TFP figures to meet my demand. I've already collected the supply of transforming versions of them and now demand bigger, more detailed ones.

    Transforming or not, TFP Optimus is the best update of the character we've ever gotten so I will absolutely buy this.

    While it's true that FE Prime is good it was also extremely limited edition, HasTak preferring to replace the line with the over-gimmicked Transformers Prime- Robots in Disguise line/ Arms Micron line.
    Additionally the official lines are limited by size classes and price points that affect quality, if Tron Warrior intend to further adapt the characters we may see a more authentic take on the others and better scaled. The name Pioneer is encouraging.

    I wish the mods would alter the title to read ‘Iron Warrior’ instead of ‘Tron Warrior’. I’m unintentionally misinforming the masses! :D

    Iron Warrior? uh?, so this is the same company who's making that jetpower kit for the MPM04 prime and that DMK style ratchet?, this looks nice.


    I'D LOVE to see soundwave or knock out.

    Damn, this looks good :)  . It also looks expensive :( 
    Like others have said, I'd prefer an mp transforming tfp line (seriously, I'd buy every single character!) but if these are affordable, I'll probably get some, especially prime himself - he just looks amazing! I'd say my limit on affordability for a non-transforming figure if this size is probably around $90 so if he's any more than that (and I think he almost certainly will be), I'm out but I'll be happy for those who enjoy him. If he transformed, obviously I'd be willing to pay more.

    [Edit] what does dmk stand for?

    A set where you build your figure on a skeleton as base withe these kind of pieces.

    By "DMK style", this TFP from Iron Warrior it's similar, because it doesn't transform but it's very articulable.
