    i’ll defend Thrilling 30 Sandstorm; it’s a retool of one of the best transformer molds ever made. And for better for worse it is a good representation of the IDW comic’s version. But I am equally frustrated by our lack of a true update to the G1 toy. In the War for Cybertron trilogy we’ve gotten a G2 Sandstorm, a Beast Wars Sandstorm, and a Rotorstorm which of course was the basis for Machine Wars Sandstorm. It almost feels like we’re being taunted at this point.

    It certainly looks great in grey!

    Hey, Mechanic Studio/Toy has changed from MFT to Dr. Wu as producer for this toy.

    10cm seems rather short for a MFT triplechanger.

    I mean, it's alright being it's the only legends representation I know about...worried about that clearance in buggy mode though.

    This looks so, so good. G1-toy accurate with better articulation, and small and handy. Bring it on! :D

    This new prototype looks way better than the earlier renders, the buggy mode looks especially inproved.

    Looks the same to me. Just missing the guns and doesn’t look as busy because it’s all one color. Lol o_O

    Edit: Actually the back section looks a bit cleaner and compact. The tail fin is also changed in direction.

    Looks good, 10cm is bigger than what I want but I'll take what I can get.

    I wonder if 10cm is correct… Because that would make him HotRod’s height.

    My guess would be that the 10cm is to the top of the head and the extra framework of the body is higher? I dunno, he seems a hair small if the 10cm is to the top of the extra junk. Eitherway, I really need to catch up cause that photo of yours with the current multichangers is gorgeous. I'm only 2 bots in so I better start placing orders!

    Maybe he's the Octane of the Autobots. Will Broadside be the Autobot Astrotrain?

    I think Sandstorm's nickname should be "Tent Head."

    Get it?
