    I think the bigger question is if this is going to be made or not. I’ve heard Bobby Skullface say in a video that he heard from an insider that FT was going to try their best to make this happen, but that sounds far from a guarantee. Is there any other/new info that this is really going to happen? If they make it I will likely buy it, but I have no idea how real this is, or when it could be produced.

    I dont think we can really ask for more than for them to try their best to accomplish this. It goes without saying this is a massive undertaking for any company. I feel like there is just as much hope in seeing this as there is in seeing my s7 thundertank.

    I heard from my cousin who talked to the girl from dairy queen and she said that her pet groomer got the word from her tik tok friend that bsf was legit yo and that Bobby's inside source(the guy from YouTube with the transformers: the fallen mascot) says that this is definitely getting made. Truth

    So I take it there’s no real info out there then? Only speculation?

    I know... I know. It's a double standard. But I won't say any more because this will get deleted anyway.

    Hold up man, my real estate agent’s best friend went to high school with JJ’s die-cast dealer. He said the whole thing’s cancelled cause JJ gambled all the designs on a double or nothing blackjack run. I wish I had better news!


    We’ll, it is literal classical art. They don’t allow Nicee or Mocha into the Louvre either! It’s about consistency.

    With as much die cast as FT uses for their products, a 30lb estimate might be light. I'm afraid I'm not in good enough shape to handle this guy. I better ramp up the training.

    My postman's going to think I'm smuggling midgets from China with how heavy these boxes are going to be.

    The first mass produced Transformers figure that requires a dolly to be moved around. Ha!

    I think it depends what you mean by doubled in size. If you mean doubled in volume, then (assuming the same density), that should just mean a doubling in weight and each dimension would be multiplied by the cube root of 2 (approx. 1.26). If you mean a doubling in each dimension (height, depth, width), then I think that would mean multiplying by 2^3 (8).

    Or I think so, but it's been a long time since I took math, and even longer since I paid attention.

    I read somewhere (reliable? who knows) that FT-40 would have very little die-cast, if any, for exactly this reason.

    The joints could be diecast for this 4 feet bot but some heavy duty plastics would do as long as it can hold the weight of this thing which is one of the main problem for this figure.

    Yeah if they're not careful, this figure is gonna end up falling over and seriously injure someone or kill someone's dog or child or whatever, causing all sorts of controversy about 3P's lack of safety regulations. Fanstoys is entering furniture territory here.

    i know it will drive up the cost a little but a base stand for the feet to lock into would be a great idea

    This is how I’m hoping he will come. Fortress mode, packed up tightly as you mentioned in a solid square box. Would be a decent size box but IMO preferable to multiple boxes with assembly required. Besides, with the head separate it makes sense that he wouldn’t be in bot mode without his head attached :D 

    Edit: unsure if this has been mentioned already but the Show Z listing for Cerebros estimates Q2 for release this year! No idea if that’s anywhere near accurate but would be awesome if so!
