    While I always love Milne's designs, I like how MMC chose to de-chunk Deathsaurus' legs--looks more refined. I do hope they start throwing in more accessories though, Tyrantron kinda spoiled me.

    His hands are proportioned so much better, in my eyes, in that panel. They’re the only thing holding me back on this figure besides the wing, but those will get changed for the G1-based version.

    If our Deathsaurus were a humanoid he'd look like Bane in Arkham Asylum:

    Poor transfomers, so much body expectation with them.

    Yeah, out of context, he's built. Compared to this piece of comic art, he's not.
    (I'm not saying this is bad, because I don't particularly care for how he looks here.)

    Mmm I think he was drawn better in the later parts of season 2.

    I do like that zef doesn't just have a massive set of beast arms hanging off his back also. Kinda funny how kibbly so many idw designs actually are.

    To start, I think we should all calmly wait for painted prototypes before we get all hot and bothered about boutique brand loyalty... even if I may be abandoning the PX Ship for the MMC Cruise! =3

    Now, I’d like to see something in the middle of where the legs are at now and what the most extreme moments in the comics depict. As it is, the slim stalks contributes to “FT Grinder” syndrome, so to speak. But, I dunno that they can really be changed that much at this point without the Kennedy’s Fried Dragon mode looking like he has a hunch back—or giant love handles! :p 

    Similarly, I think the head should be a touch bigger and maybe the hands should be a touch smaller, but not so much as to lose the current proportion entirely. That might be possible, but it really depends on how much space is in the chest cavity. But, my guess is that there probably isn’t a lot of room to tuck in a bigger head, so this might be as difficult as beefing up the legs a smidge.

    I'm on the fence about this figure but if they make a Red geist repaint, it's bought

    Kennedy’s Fried Chicken is a fast food not quite chain or franchise of restaurants on the east coast USA.

    They’re more like Burger King, McDonald’s, Nathan’s or Wendy’s plus Fried Chicken than ye ol Kentucky Fried Chicken, which itself is more like Boston Market, if those still exist.

    Oh, and to bring it full circle as to why they’re not a real chain and why this is relevant to the board, Kennedy’s obviously can’t get a full trademark or license because they’re often copying Kentucky Fried Chicken, from the acronym to even going as far as to copy the placard and menus in some places! =D

    Until right now, I didn't know a Kennedy's Fried Chicken existed.

    I’m digging the champagne gold and the new wings. And, I’m also guessing the wings won’t actually be a very desaturated pink. :D 

    But, they are a little flat without the blue, though the gray silver touches at the base of the wings do help. Also, there’s those pairs of circular divets near the feather joints that are begging for paint, or panel lining.Yet, I don’t think that’s something I’d be doing right away with my current capacity to wield a Gundam marker! :p

    Ya, we push the whole color signature to a cold take -> you noticed the champagne gold ;) 
    The black parts and some blue navy turned to dark purple.

    While I’m usually appreciative of comic accuracy, I really like the changes here.

    The slender and more refined boots are the main reason I prefer this over planet X’s
