    So as not to make this too off topic, here's an idea: Iron Factory Eris! :drool: 

    Also, in that case, they should call it Discordia, which would be heckin' meta given the Roman repurposing of Greek culture.

    Still, Iron Factory and Infinite Finity making their own Solus Primes, would be cool, too, but if we're going to talk about a femmeformer who deserves some 3P attention, then I am all about some 3P Megatronias or at least Megaempresses.

    Granted, I would prefer that Megatronia and/or Megaempress were not in the Iron Samurai line.

    And, of course I would like a more involved Slipstream from IF, but I would think Windblade is most readily deserving of a revisit so she at least has ankle tilt and, uhhh, actual feet. :rolleyes: 

    But, ya know who is supposedly working on a Windblade that could then quite possibly be repurposed to make a Slipstream of their own? Infinite Finity! ;) 

    Oh, finally, assuming Iron Factory makes their own Deathsaurus as I think they will likely do to accompany their Liokaiser, then I think Iron Factory should make their own Esmeral just like InFin's Eris' head sculpt already hints at.... though Iron Factory should also make their own Lyzack, too, perhaps from their old or even a new Slipstream mold!

    Those are some neat ideas though.

    Kinda doubt another 3P would ever release their own version of another company's original character or design (even ones that skirt the line, like Eris)

    If it ever happened though, there'd some old Fansproject pieces I'd love to see revived and given fancy MP treatment, particularly Steel Core, their Dino Grrrls and Glacialord.

    As for Armadon, I hope the hands and fingers are a bit more durable than the original. Still waiting for replacement parts for her.

    I don’t know how the extra drool gif got attached, and hitting the edit tool immediately afterwards didn’t show it at the bottom for removal, so, alas, it stays.

    And, yeah, I have no expectation of IF doing their own version of Eris, and it was more just a moment to bring up the Goddess of Chaos. Fnord.

    The actual evidence based speculations were Esmeral and Slipstream from InFin, and Deathsaurus from IrFact.

    Also, you may be wondering~ Fnord - Wikipedia

    I would have been okay with a repainted /retooled of Eris: Kultur as Esmeral, in her original( Deathsaurus) Victory colors

    I hear ya, but, again, I feel like you could get away with just remolding the feet, shoulders, and backpack and you could get Eris to look like the old Beast Hunters/TF Go Dragons, since we don't even know what Esmeral's alt mode would be.

    Then again, maybe Esmeral is more like Jhiaxus and her bestial wings are not a sign that she has a beast mode and she just has some sort of flying vehicle alt mode, instead.

    But, I would still prefer that she have a dragon alt mode, like her beau.

    And her SG definitely turns into a draconic critter...

    Also, FWIW, I'm not sure she even has an official coloring, since she only appeared in the finale to the black and white Victory manga, and only her SG version did get colored. But, most fanart of her has her with Deathsaurus' coloring, which I think is appropriate.

    Yeah, I feel like they took a step back on the facesculpt while keeping the slightly brighter deco.

    I'm still into it, but a little iffy.

    Alsoooooooooo, I was thinking this week that it sure seems like MMC swept the Eris Kultur Alternative face issue under the rug, and... well... :rolleyes:

    I love this. The head/face really sell the badass bruiser vibe.

    I understand that some of you enjoy refined female facial features, but that just isn't the goal here.

    Hmm, seeing it like this, I may pass. I was finally able to buy the regular retail version, and until I have it in my hot little hands I may change my mind, but as of right now, it's a pass for me.

    It’s throwing me off too - even when I try to think of it as a stylized female face (like Trevor von Eeden’s artwork, for example), it doesn’t really work for me, even if it is a good recreation of Armada Megatron’s head. On the other hand, the brighter colors here look a lot better compared to previous images. A decent attempt, but I’m going to wait and see what MMC does with Eris Bludgeon.

    This is neat. I love the Chameleon-like concept behind Eris. I’ll probably pass on this version but I’m excited to see further takes.

    I think people are misunderstanding the face, the sculpt is incredibly nice.
