    Yeah from neck down they have an interesting design, being mirror images of each-other, it's a shame that was wasted on two of the worst facial designs in the series, right up there with Mohawk, Drift and Daytrader.

    Brought him to work with me so I can oblige you. It’s not oversized (cause I wanted him to be able to still transform) but I think it’s a big improvement in sculpt:

    To be fair, the TLK Bee, Cogman and Drift we got in Studio Series were all straight redecoes of TLK figures. Crosshairs does have a solid TLK figure so I am assuming he'd get the same treatment, or you can just use your existing figure.

    Seeing Dino being made makes me hopeful for a Sideways figure. The original toy wasn't all that great but hopefully they can do him justice again.

    Bonus points if it can be engineered to split in half long ways in car mode.

    Similar to when Cliffjumper came out, the challenge will go out to all the brave souls who are willing to cut their figures in half.

    It makes sense to release a TLK repaint but I would've expected it earlier on in the line. I wonder if they're actually waiting all this time to end up releasing a new mold. I wouldn't mind either a repaint or a new mold.

    A lot of the ones I'm seeing on eBay are around €60 after shipping, which is way over what I'd be willing to pay for a deluxe figure

    I'm based in Ireland actually! If you don't mind my asking, is yours customised? Nothing against your work of course, just that all my collection is stock Hasbro paint, so I wouldn't want them looking out of place :lol 

    Sideswipe and Sunstreaker Who?

    *cries waiting for leader class Fallen* ...

    Yeah their body designs are fine, I never minded that. I just hate their faces, but even worse, their personalities.

    Huh, making his neck not sunk in anymore really does wonders for the silhouette. Makes the figure look much better, nice. Wonder if Takara will rerelease this mold for DOTM or something. Still need to snag one eventually

    Yeah it was a joke... instead of just calling him, “Megatron” I said screw it, and typed “mackatron”. I really didn’t mean to cause any confusion. And I hope I didn’t trip anybody else up by this.

    People just get antsy in this thread. They think studio series is gonna end without XYZ character being made and they think that once a week. I wouldn’t worry, unless your favorite character in the world is Trench or Onslaught or one of the KSI bots that doesn’t even have a name.
    I’d also love to get a Que!
    Yes agree with this, but at this point hasbro has definitely done every bayformer that’s “priority” for them. The next couple years are gonna see them scraping the bottom of the barrel, except for guys like knight prime and the fallen.
    I’m guessing and hoping they do a remold, since as much as I love the MPM4 mold there are definitely improvements that can be made. Mine is upgraded but they could still rework the back kibble to peg in way better and also have his shoulder pads look better. And the DotM look is a favorite of mine so it’s be cool to see them do that. Also I want his huge triple barrel gun!
