Sorry to kept everyone waiting. Revealing our first color test shot of TC-02 with full body weathered paint. It's still in testing stage and some adjustment might be expected. The following product is in development stage

 

Like a mini-3A, except transformable too. In terms of aesthetic, none of the 3P other attempts are even close to this. Wow.

 

Other than wishing they had made his gun arm look more like a gun arm rather than a gun under his wrist, this guy is phenomenal!!

A shame that those hinges are still horrible looking on his alt mode top as well, but mine will remain in bot mode anyway.  

 

Development stage my arse...

Release the damn thing!

 

Exquisite! The only thing that bothers me are the silver battle mask eyes. Hopefully the production version will use transparent blue for the battle mask.

 

That was what I needed to see.

Pre-order at Show-Z now placed.

 

This is incredible

 

The eyes on this need a little reworking. Either make them a tad larger or airbrush blue around them to fill out the sockets, since his eyes are supposed to illuminate that area. An interchangeable set of eyes would be nice too, with the eyebrows posed around.

The battle mask needs transparent eyes, but I'm assuming this is just a painted opaque proto and the lenses have sculpting on the back side.

 

Incredible indeed. The fact that this is a transformable figure is pretty mind-blowing.

The weathered paint apps look great! The alt mode does still look pretty panel-y, but that's easily forgiven. It's hard to see but the windows appear to be transparent, which is awesome.

 

This guy must explode when transforming....

I hope he comes packaged in bot mode.

 

Sure it's beautiful AF even if I'm not a fan of the way his gun is implemented. Now I'm curious about the transformation and how he'd look like next to Freedom Leader.

 

The parts that are painted yellow look good
the unpainted yellow plastic just looks dirty and bland

Just paint the whole thing!

 

Yes but when do we see more of their OPTIMUS!??

 

Ok Trans Craft, if you make a Cybertronian Bee and jeep Bee as good as this guy, I'll buy those as well.  

 

Based on head size it looks like the battle mask is actually a separate head. I just don't see how the wider head can shrink to the streamlined battlemask head with different color and sized antennas.

 

It's exactly the same way how TC and TE implemented and that's how it was appeared in screen. From this poster, you can see the fingers are like wrapping the cannon

 

Never argued with that but I've never been a fan of this design choice. Also many VW Bee figures tend to ignore it.
Anyway, it's a minor nitpick from me.

 

Huh....I thought the fingers splayed over the cannon more when deployed.


Learned something new today.

 

Articulated Charlie figure please Trans Craft.
