    This is XTB we're talking about, don't be ridiculous.

    Better late than never! I always applaud whenever a 3P company can successfully put out all members of a certain team. In this case, the Galv/Cycl/Scrg trio gang.

    They better get the colors right the first time around. That sample pic's colors are very ugly. Will the fans have to raise a stink again, to get them to tweak the pantone?

    I know many have complained about unnecessary light up gimmicks in the past, but I think this figure would be cool to include the cannon light up feature, as a throwback to the original toy.

    I have the DX9 and FT versions. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I like the DX9 one better in almost every regard except the shoulder pylons.

    Alt mode is big for me, and the FT pushup canon mode is too goofy, JMO. I don't think FT would make that same design choice today.

    I like very much what I see... I hope the QC and design choices are on par.

    Working treads or something that looks like working treads would be the icing on the cake.

    Only worthwhile to do if they're going to make them as properly linked segments.

    Fake rubber treads are simply the worst.

    This will look great and end up falling apart

    For God's sake don't download that picture. It'll probably crash your computer.

    Well, right now I'm saying that about this figure. I'm not concerned about others at the moment.

    This looks to be just another render, so who knows if those colors even apply whenever a physical model happens.

    How anyone could show anything but derision for this feeble little "tease" (distraction) of a photo before the Locke situation is anywhere near resolved is deeply mysterious to me.

    Well that's why there's this thing called fans.

    At the end of the year, XTB will win the most improved company based on their rerelease of Locke.

    Because some people can handle all of these like adults... Why should I or anyone else make fun of this situation?

    And it doesn't have anything to do with people being fans as @divinecomedy said...

    Let's wait and see how things evolve... But maybe that's too much to ask for some people.
