    They look very nice! Looking forward to see more of them.

    Will they be straight upscale or will there be other differences?

    Probably straight upscales, though it's interesting to think of what changes could be done with the extra mass.

    Current plan is packs of 3, 5 packs per Autobot/Decepticon, 10 packs total. Multipacks help cut down cost with the shared packaging.

    @NOCV

    I am mainly interested in your Robot forming cassettes (autobot and decepticons). Any chance of giving them ankle tilt?. This is the single most important feature if it can be added. Afterwards, and much more secondary, hand rotation maybe.

    Thanks for the consideration.

    Thanks! I don't have anything worth mentioning, but things are moving fast. I wouldn't be surprised if we got some out before MST.
    The Legends scale ones will probably be too small, but that may be something that can be done for the Legends Plus ones.

    7 or 10 degree inward tilt is sculpted into their feet already, to help give them some tilt and stability. It's not much, but it works well with how tiny they are.

    I'm sorry, I just hadn't seen this mentioned here and I'll absorb all flame attacks for posting it if they do indeed come, but this really made me laugh the first time I saw it(a month ago) and it's just so apropos!

    Dunno' why you expect to be attacked for that. I've always loved that pic and I kinda' wish I'd thought to post it.

    that is great to hear and something that will definitely help with sales. it is a good thing MS is garbage when it comes to their releases.

    I've been hounding you so long for these, I can't wait to finally buy all of them and in a more solid plastic than Shapeways 3d-printed material.

    That was my main gripe. Plus I would probably butcher the paint job.

    Yeah, sometimes I just don't know what's gonna get me Flamed online anymore(uhh, does anyone actually even say "flamed" anymore?). I'm from a previous Age of internet-ing.

    That said, this place kicks @$$! :rock

    I’d love to go into the future and see if these would be compatible with IF’s upcoming Soundwave 2.0.

    I was never sure what size I wanted cassette bots to be alongside legends Soundwave, but I’m looking forward to seeing how these turn out in full colour.

    they wont be compatible or have the same aesthetic as the IF soundwave.

    but that shouldnt stop you if you like the way they look.

    i think variety is what makes this hobby so great. you can pick and collect whatever tickles your fancy.
