    Having given the vid a watch, it's very clear that they have nothing actually new to share, and the simply ignored Huffer because you can only just barely make out his faded legs from behind the opaque Girl'warp.

    So, I can't tell you when IFEX-58 will actually be available, but I can say that you shouldn't be worried because this youtuber forgot to include them.

    On the IF Weibo page they've been showing Blue Drift (Bayverse AoE) and Lockdown. On their separate threads some video reviews have been posted. Show.Z has final prices. So I expect that they will be the next two. After that maybe Soundblaster because IF posted a few pictures on their Weibo.

    Huffer is taking his time while I prefer him over Drift, Lockdown or Soundblaster.

    Jaw dropped..... wow, oh my gawd, soooooo beautiful. I need this!!! And BOTH modes too.

    Alright, I got to start selling some toys and re-arranging buying priorities, this one I super want (and if samurai ironhide too). Damn, I hope they KO upside it too to legends plus, such a beautiful sculpt needs that bigger + size to admire the face and all its details even more. Heck, even MP scale would work for such a beauty.

    I kid you not— I look forward to buying this figure more than any other on the horizon, legends or MP. I love the execution on this— proportions, colors, surface details, and that head sculpt is a work of art.

    Normally I think Huffer looks pretty stupid and any attempts to recreate his G1 animation model inherently don't look good, but as always I'm digging IF's stylization (even if I don't collect them anymore.)

    Yeah, I’d much rather get an update on Pipes and announcements of Tailgate and Wipeout since they were essentially mold mates in IDW.

    I like this but wouldn’t fit in my collection. Very nice.

    This really makes me wish Pipes was a repaint of this version, instead of the retool they're releasing (I don't like Pipes' front wheels on the "arms" like that).

    I had already made up my mind to pass on this, as the initial renders continued to make Huffer look goofy like he always does, but man after seeing these new pics, I'm going to have to pic this up. Now to wait and see how Pipes and the 3 Datsun bros will look as GTR's.

    Could it actually be coming? I've waited for so long. And the extra hands!! I really want to see transformation since that backpack looks pretty flat. Another Huffer for the collection!!!

    I hear ya, but it is accurate to Pipes' depiction in the IDW comics.

    What isn't accurate is that Pipes' alt mode isn't as compact as it is in the comics, and I wonder if that might be from sharing tooling with Huffer.

    Then again, the only thing they seem to share are their hips and thighs from the looks of it to me.

    He’s so nice. Too bad Pipes probably won’t resemble his IDW-self much though when he eventually comes.

    Edit: Or does he? Was there a reveal?
