    Just a few things throwing this one off for me.

    - the head sculpt.
    - lack of bulk, most notably in his legs.
    - he’s teeny tiny!

    He’s good for the scale, but I want a big guy that can stand next to my MP Beast Wars guys. On the plus side, seems more and more 3rd party BW stuff is popping up lately, so clearly there’s a market for it.

    Too early to tell. Nothing has actually been released yet, so no idea how well these things will sell. Look at Skysnake...they released 2 WfC/FoC molds and went promptly out of business. They had several more releases planned/shown off but none of it came to fruition. Positive comments on a forum doesn't always equal lots of sales.

    BW is a much more popular property than a heavily stylized video game series. Takara Tomy wouldn’t touch a MP WFC Optimus Prime for example.

    Will def be getting this guy then, if for nothing else than he is my favorite Megatron and in his best or I should say my favorite form(TM). They really need to fix the head sculpt though.

    At this stage I think it's too late. They could always throw in a second optional head though

    Sounds fair. I'm down with this on principal, but still hope they tweak the head. Kinda wish the dino arms had an elbow, but considering they have filler struts that's probably asking a lot of this scale.

    Hoping for more Transmetals down the road...


    I'd love a TM Rattrap with a correctly placed backpack for sure. :D
