    Energon Megatron most likely. I really hope they get the combiner partners before moving on honestly.

    Really cool especially the slimmer ver.where all the wheels are on the back. I know its still early design stage but those legs are really thin i hope the final will have thicker legs. Oh and please make it the same height as their other Primes in super mode

    So far it's just a little bit shorter in combined mode. Which means they're either being liberal with scale or their Energon Megatron is going to be much larger than most MP Megatrons.

    They wouldn't. Fire Convoy may be who they tackle after the UT but Energon shows they're investing in rounding the trilogy out

    I just wish they finished all of the major Armada characters before moving on to Energon.

    Then you can get a bunch of KO MP's, paint them, and have the MP Armada Autobot/Decepticon armies of our dreams.

    Although I would love to see them do the RID bots.

    I want more than one company to do them. FH is great at the big bulky guys but their Minerva is noticably less good than her leader. I think MMC would be good, given the vast range their Reformatted line carries

    Basically you're wishing that 3rd parties collaborated? Awesome, I wish they would do that. We could always have the best of both worlds. But I think mmc is busy with whatever they're doing

    Personally, will never like this design. Just.... man Energon was not a good thing to me in any way.

    However, does look like an accurate interpretation, so hopefully Energon fans are happy with em

    Man, I am digging the core bot, looks super nifty.

    I always wanted the all the Primes from the UT, but was unfortunately old enough at the time that my family felt toys weren’t for me, but not old enough to have disposable income to spend on what I wanted.

    good to be able to experience versions of them now

    With the soft focus and without Armada prime in the photo I thought this was legends scale and kinda got hyped so a tiny TubbyConvoy but I'm also cool with him being a normal mp-ish sized toy. Also I love that it's got the option to trim down FatimusPrime.

    I still have the remains of the one I blew up. Never liked this design.

    While the cartoon was crappy and some of the gimmicks were extremely questionable, I think there were some neat toys in Energon. Mirage and Landmine are two of the cooler designs from the Unicron Trilogy imo, and I've gotta respect how sentai the Prime/Wing Saber combination is.

    They need to pull a Studio Cell and cram the all wheels inside the torso.

    That's not possible, as all of those wheel assemblies are larger than any part of his torso.

    It may not have been enough, but I think they should have shown the tease for the one half of his super-mode if they were going to front-page him.
