    Today I learned that "over and over again" means two posts. In the two threads where the controversy came up. Folks (clearly not you) expressed an interest in the origin of this mold and since no-one seemed to know for sure, I reached out to someone actually involved and posted the information in the two most relevant spots.

    If you want to be a mod, stop cosplaying as one and apply for the job.

    Whatever man. I counted a little more than two posts. Have fun digging up who's ripping of who and what company is pulling what kind of shenanigans. I really don't care.

    Really? Cause I just went through his posts. It was two regarding this subject in the last 24 hours.

    And a lot of us do care about one company flat out stealing another's designs. So, yes, this is valuable information.

    Do you think they might revisit Bumblebee/Flipper with some better engineering to give him rolling wheels like Brawn/Outback?

    I kind of give them credit for not going down the tried, tested and true path of releasing an Optimus Prime early in their run but I think there has been enough time passed since Dutch for NA to now do their version.

    They would be the true kings of G1 Legends if they could make Ultra Magnus work with a white Optimus cab.

    I’m also very keen for Dinobots. I’m so close to buying the DX9 set but I’d prefer to have gold instead of yellow and I’d rather have just NA versions.

    Aside from TE, which companies had an early Optimus release?

    You should take a look at the MS Prime. It goes great with NA car bots. I'd much rather see them finish the s1/s2 car bots and then mini bots.

    If you are referring to Armored UM as in white robot cab wearing the trailer, not only will they be true king in G1 Legend scale but also true king in 3P as well in my eyes. In my years following the TF franchise/collecting UM, not one 3P dare to make a tranformable G1 Armored UM figure! The closest we ever had is the Planet X FOC Apollo/UM while the others were just added on kit of an existing figure e.g Fansproject City Commander. With that being said, I'm rooting that to happen too despite the odd of that happening is zero chance, lol.

    Personally I'd be more interested in a legends scaled Ultra Magnus (And Delta Magnus more than that) who scales with NA figures in bot mode and can hold them in alt mode.

    I feel like it's only a matter of time before they tackle the Triple Changerse. And the one that seems easiest to pull off is Astrotrain.

    A Blitzwing would be awesome. But I prefer Mirage, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz and Wheeljack... There isn't good legend+ figures from these guys.

    I agree, but that's more MFT's thing. New Age produces at a smaller scale.

    Bumping this because I’m watching G1 right now. I really need New Age to put out Shockwave and Devastator.
