    If no one repaints this as a Batmobile I will be surprised.

    I don't think the head is that accurate to the comics...

    I mentioned this in the Alpha thread, figured I'd mention it here too^^
    A: looking forward to these two, they look VERY cool
    B: It was pointed out to me that with new heads and decos, these two would make AWESOME Autobot Clones

    I really hope that a 3P makes more accurate short swords for Beta (Drift) the ones he comes with are so odd looking to me. Paging Dr. Wu, paging Dr. Wu.

    Bonzaitron upgrade set has some long and short swords in it? Not sure if it fits your taste.

    Looks good in cg drawings, but would need to see actual prototype. The swords aren't for me either, I will probably want to get more Hex swords or something else, depending what I can find or see others using.

    I will also be considering an Iron Factory legends scale one if they make it.

    This was linked to upthread, but here it is again, from https://www.Instagram.com/byrin

    It's possible this is still early in tooling, so now would be the best time to see if MMC is willing to change the swords, if that's what people want.

    Yeah, I meant more like the ones he uses in the comics, the fat wide ones along with scabbards that plug into his hip area just like how his current swords do in these pictures.

    That's honestly the only critique I have at this point, he's looking really good so far. Can't wait for him to come out.

    How would one do that? Yes, that's the only critique I'd make at this time. He's looking great so far! I just want the cleavers with Scabbards.

    I believe MMC monitors threads like these, so I'd say that if you know like-minded people who want different swords, get them to post.

    Or maybe ask MMC about it on Facebook.

    I'm personally not really bothered about the swords either way. I just find it funny whenever people start asking for changes AFTER they see the near-complete test shots. By then it's often too late.

    There might not be space for the wheels to tuck into on the toy though. There's a lot of stuff they have to fit in there, after all, between transformation joints and motion joints.

    As it is, Alpha and Beta both have backpacks as well that aren't depicted in the comic art. Nor are they really completely faithful in reproducing the comic art in general anyway. More of a semi-original MMC take.
