    Come on TFD, make a BA MPM Prime in scale with your ROTFMegatron!

    Nah their ROTF Megs is more in-scale with MPM-04. With all the small armatures/hinges on the OSKO, they'd be terribly fragile scaled-down. The original Black Apple scaling should be adhered to.

    I hope it's actually cheaper since their quality it's not really "as good" as WeiJiang. A smaller one wouldn't be so bad too.

    Any genuine sources or confirmation that TF Dreamfactory got the designs? I love TFD, they're plastic is good and they make solid figures. They tend to do MPM Scale so I'm hoping they don't downsize this Ironhide

    Given the complexity of BA's engineering, on his MPM-04 at least, I suspect they wouldn't be able to downsize it because of use of small hinges and clips that couldn't be further reduced without breakage, and it might cost them more in dev time to re-engineer those parts for simplicity than it would to just pay for the extra plastic. The paint apps probably wouldn't be as good as WJ's, but at least those are easier to add by the end user than any modifications.

    Oooooooh yes, the OSKO aspect was the only thing I didn't like about the WJBA boys, would love them to match my DF RotF Megs

    This is interesting but the fact TFDF releases toys in another scale worries me.

    It would cost them more to release it in a new scale (non-OS) and the questionable risk of downsizing wouldn't be cost-effective.

    True. But i would buy the Challenger sized one definitely. Challenger looks well with almost everyone from WJ, TDF and BMB and official. He is somewhere between different scales.

    I hope you're right. Otherwise I'd have to wait for someone else to oversize a downsized oversized updated KO. @_@

    According to this baidu user, looks like Black Apple Mpm Ironhide has been passed to Fire Scorpion and apparently Fire scorpion is TF Dream Factory.

    Fire scorpion was the name of the company that teased the M09 Bumblebee Optimus before they sold it to WeiJiang.
    That screencap says FS is actually Dream Factory and they'll produce the WeiJiang figures such as ironhide.

    TF DreamFactory is the one who created the OS Boneceusher right? This means MPM BA Ironhide is in good hands. Can't wait!
