    Well that's cool to hear.
    I got all kinds of Beast Wars Transmetal designs that I love and would love figures of.
    Not this one, but lots of other ones.

    I had to get out of the Legends scale -- it's the worst value in TFs, and it's like crack -- but I'm in for Legends scale BW figures; that scales to my MP G1 figures. If this is roughly the size of a Deluxe it will work for me.

    I agree, but then again it is kinda personal and sometimes for certain designs I do need to get a bigger version :3

    Iron Factory in general is the worst value in Transformers. For the price of an MP car you get a Deluxe figure. (Contrast that with XTB Stunticon cars going for an average of $60). But they're ALWAYS pretty awesome figures. I don't collect them for the most part specifically because of the prohibitive cost, but IF fans don't have any complaints.

    I'll probably end up getting this since this particular version of Megatron actually interacted directly with G1 'bots.

    I didn't say QUALITY, I said VALUE, which means "cost for what you get." The best VALUE in TFs might be the XTB Stunticons or the Zeta combiners. If you live in the US and found MP Soundwave or Optimus at retail, that was a good value. Trypticon for $50 or Overlord for $12 at Ross is a great value.

    $70 for a Deluxe figure will never be a good VALUE even if it's a "worthwhile purchase." I got YOTH MP-10 for $70. That makes IF WWI OP a poor value.

    Really hope they don't, because Iron Factory figures aint cheap :D 
    Hm yeah, but that's cheating... LOL

    Then again, huge size differences between characters makes for lousy display and play.

    I get a butt-ton of satisfaction from IFs. The price stings only once, but the happiness goes on forever.



    /Or until I ham-hand something and break it; whichever comes first.

    Correct me if i'm wrong but does it not say that it is pic's of a unpainted sample so saying it hasn't got enough paint is silly. I like this because i never got the chance to have the original toy and the other third party ones are way too big for my shelves. Not to mention expensive. I would like to know if the optimus has his tank mode as well.

    This looks pretty cool. I'm not a legends scale collector but I am tempted to take a punt on this.

    Now that I see the color images, I don't want it. They should have taken color choices from Perfect Effect. A silver face!?! He has a silver face?!?

    I hope that this is released soon. I want to know what price will be as not familiar  with iron factory as a 3rd party company.

    I'm curious, does he really feel that fragile? I'm probably getting their Cryotek as a birthday gift for myself and have heard mostly good things, but a few others have said the plastic doesn't feel great.

    Iron Factory - IF-EX43 Heat Death

    See the US retail price there. Can probably get it cheaper on eBay direct from China.
