    What if during the massive alterations, given this is still only a render, they make many small details diecast.
    - Side cab bars
    - Side mirrors
    - Windshield wippers
    This way, small details can be made even finer than what is possible with plastic. It would also add a premium feel to the figure, making it feel like a diecast model.

    Better yet, have the trailer... become the stand, make that box on wheels do something for the consumer while they have their figure in bot mode.

    Sometimes I wonder what a 100% diecast figure would look and feel like and cost.

    They will be strong and tough in quality, but would be a nightmare to transform when there is no room nor flexibility as plastic provides while transforming.

    Diecast/Plastic/Magnet Figures -
    Imagine figures that had a metal skeleton, covered in plastic, with the connections being plastic tabs and or magnets. This would be most effective on larger figures. Given the figure would be atleast 15" for this to be effective, and given how advanced transformations have gotten, the figure would be an easy $700. Hmm...

    Marvel Legends - Affordable - $20
    SHF/Mezco - Premium $80
    Hot Toys - High End - $400
    Statues - Top Tier - $600

    CHUG - Affordable $30
    MP - Premium - $150
    Flame Toys - High End - $450
    Flame Toys (that transform) - Top Tier - $700

    Hmm... things are starting sem rip-offish...

    Depending on the metals used.
    Iron could be used for most of the figure, with major joints being made from steel.

    Hmm... I just read the subtext on your profile...

    I would use aluminum, steel, plastics and composites to make the figure lighter and stronger.

    Dude... you know the SS truck mode is a completely different truck to the film, it's actually Ironic, cause the BB film truck lines up more to the AOE evasion prime toy/'s Truck mode, while It's film counterpart's truck mode is a lot closer to the BB SS figure

    Yes but did you actually see the figure? It’s fantastic. From the robot to the alt, there’s nothing about the figure I don’t see as a major issue
