    Looks so good. I just hope it's one of the ones they are swift on and not one that sits in drawing stage for a year.

    I really dislike single-joint hands like that, especially if it's MP-scale. CHUG is fine with a peghole. MP deserves fully posable fingers, or at least moveable joints at each knuckle so the fists can look more natural and are able to point properly as well.

    I am curious to see how this turns out. For the most part Hova looked the best, and MT has too much of an anime aesthetic (mainly their proportioning) with most of their products, but the line art looks decent.

    waiting to make the decision on this one. I like MT stuff, but typically not for the autobots. Headmasters and Decepticons fit their style perfectly (for me).

    I will keep a close eye on this and the supposed MMC/Ocular Max version. No interest in that Toyworld pile of crap concept.

    All the MMC Jazz is at this point is rumor.

    I haven't liked a Make toys figure yet since their Reflector. I'll reserve judgment until a prototype is shown, at least he doesn't look to be so toy based or have fat legs...fatter than the character actually had that is. If this turns out as Chuggish as Despotron to me once in plastic or resin, I will still be waiting on a Jazz.

    But, another Jazz option for people...not a bad thing I think.

    ... Which would be an awesome name for their MP-Jazz.

    I know, right? I thought XTB had a Cliffjumper advert on their Windcharger box, but no luck showing at this TFCon!

    Nope, Jess, the designer of Backdraft and their Trailbreaker said as far as she knows he's still happening. And I kinda love how mt and mmc will continue to be directly competing with characters. Now watch as MMC teases a megatron and starscream next haha.

    Has anyone else noticed that Maketoys have removed a number of last years remaster teases from their website?
    The missing ones are Crosshairs, Starscream, Darkwing and Dreadwing. I'm not going to try and second guess why but it does seem odd that they've removed those and announced three new ones.

    This is pretty much why anouncementsprior to at least a serious render mean very little. Really the chances of something bgetting dropped, sucking or taking years and years at any point prior ro the actual proto are just to high to take these things seriously.

    Eh projects shift around all the time and those pics are all really old so maybe they've just changed up their schedule.

    I'm having similar thought about FT Hoodlum even though there was a render. No mention of it at TFCon (as far as I am aware) and it is still not up for preorder several months after the render reveal.

    this looks very good. i hope there is a door splayed out option for those that like that but so far i think this may be maketoys most MP-like MTRM series release. gundog for one was too....stylized i'll call it. this looks very very good.

    No, MMC confirmed it themselves. Have you seen the screenshot?
