    Vos would be hard to make, as they could not pick a mold that turns into a gun and not sacrificing his general shape in bot mode. The slimmest thing that come close to Vos would be T30 Arcee or Chromia.

    They posted a full pic of the teaser art. Can't fucking wait to see this come to life.

    Only thing I'd be a little concerned about is whether or not Tarn's design is a little cluttered for this kinda treatment. Might be why they seem to be streamlining him a little.

    I just want his legs to be longer. But given that line art usually indicates the final product, I won't hold my breath. Still looks awesome.

    I hope they make Optimus and Megatron. Or characters like Rodimus or Cyclonus

    The quoted post said that the other DJDs could be done with older molds, I'm just pointing something out.

    Yes. And I'm using sarcasm.

    Not really. They could give him FOC's Deluxe Shockwave mold, heck the FOC "Air Raid" remold makes a better Vox than Air Raid IMO or one of the Legends class Shockwave molds.

    So with all these sets popping up anyway, the possibilities go as followed:

    Tarn = TR Blitzwing
    Nickel = TR Legends Gnaw
    Spark Eater/Agent 113 = TR Legends Pounce
    Kaon = TR Deluxe Perceptor
    Vos = Deluxe or Legends FOC Shockwave
    Tesarus = Leader class Ultra Magnus or Sixshot
    Helex = Leader class Ultra Magnus or Sixshot

    If done right, I'd buy each and every one of these on sight! Be it together in a set or if sold individually!

    As an owner of Cultur and a fan of Tarn I will definitely buy this figure. Hope to see some new pics soon :)

    Really!!? o_o Then that Tarn is really tempting if that's the case. If the price isn't ridiculous.
    Do we even have a price for Drift yet? And how big are these going to be?

    No official pricing yet, although I'm willing to bet prices will be, ahem, premium to say the least.

    As for sizing, no official word again, but my judgment is telling me he's around Voyager size, with Tarn being larger given the line art. :)

    People have been mentioning how Tarn's legs seem short. They're not, it's his slightly bloated arms that make his proportions seem iffy. look at the size of his hands & shoulders.[​IMG]

    The arms look too long I think? His hands are nearly to his knees.

    After years of lurking here, this....this made me finally make an account. Non-tranforming Transformers figures... I have been waiting for this! As someone who collects video game and anime figures, this appeals to me a lot more.

    Licenced figures that look more like their comic counterparts~~!! Yaaaaassss!!
