    Perhaps so, but the Xi Gundam isn't the most common design of Gundams either, it's kinda like saying that all Jetfires are Macross valkyries :p  but we're getting way off topic now, lol.

    Hope they reissue the red and blue Optimus to go with this or I won't be picking it up.

    Daimchoc has shared a gallery of the prototype. Looks incredible. Also a size comparison with the Rolling Thunder Optimus, which shows it's bloody enormous when fully armored up.

    I have to admit, aside from the large tank, the alt modes all look like a bunch of fudged together hot messes.

    I dunno. I need to see the final version but I’m strongly leaning toward skipping this in favour of Megatank.

    This is a very small thing, but I think my only criticism of this set is that the cockpits are just...Empty spaces. These are meant for Diaclone interaction, give me full cockpits with seats and controls! :lol

    I dig it. I'm a little surprised its slated for Q2 2021 though, but hey, cool if that's true. I am curious about what paint scheme they're going to go with. Traditional Megs Grey/Silver? Or the red and black of Destro's Dominator? Or both? Interestingly enough, the original STC commander was in Traditional Prime colors, and then in camo, but neither the original nor Figueroa's illustrations had the camo pattern. So if they do go with the GiJoe colors, will it be straight red/black, or a camo pattern similar to something like the Python Patrol's?

    Yeah, and air condition too! I don't want my little pilots get too hot there while killing autobots!

    I don't know, the MSRP price $170 is retail price, NA seller or oversea seller they don't get the toys as MSRP price, so profit should be there already. Of course, they can always want double-dip profit.

    I recall STC-01NB being $160-165 in China including shipping (ShowZ), $140 without shipping at sites like RTB. I'm curious if STC-02 will be closer to $200 at Chinese retailers.

    STC-01B, ShowZ price to NA was this. (it's from my showz record).

    About the STC-02 price, as I posted in up there, China MSRP will be $170. I guess ShowZ or other Chinese retailers won't be closer to $200 because $30 shipping right now it's not possible for a big package. Maybe just slightly cheaper than BBTS.
    TFC's price increase this time is a lot.

    I think they will do both. I hope they release in traditional Megatron colors first since I have the original STC commander.

    Not sure about this guy. Head size occasionally appears to be too small.

    Absolutely must see colors first. We can't assume Megatron colors in this case. And I want Megatron colors.

    I’m the opposite. I’ve got plenty of megatron in megatron colors. Gimme the gijoe colors! Hopefully they’ll release both and then some like for the optimus
