It looks nice, and if it's anything like their (also pictured) Salmoore he'll be top notch and a fun figure. At the same time, he doesn't really look particularly masterpiece-y to me. I don't know if it's the big obvious joints or the not-quite-there headsculpt or what but it strikes me as being about 80% there. Now, their Gobots Crasher version of this mold? Tempting. Veeeerry tempting. Especially re: their Salmoore. Where did you see pic of a Crasher version of this mold? That would be nice to stand beside "Cy-Kill"! Crasher was actually the first version of this mold that they revealed, I believe it was in a product preview slideshow for one of the TFCon events in Toronto:  |

Guess I should mention the KO 3rd party MP10. Looks like they are doing a white ultra Magnus version. Might be nice to display next to mp22 or maybe another 3rd party can make him an armor.

TFC design are a bit "blocky".
If price is nice, I will probably get one.
For sure Ironhide and Ratchet are perfect candidats for official MPs...

The Ironhide shares the same problem of the iGear versions in that it looks a bit too "Classic-y" in robot mode to fit in with the MPs. The vehicle mode (again, like the iGear) seems pretty spot-on otherwise.
I'm really hoping that XTB Apollyon turns out to be a solid and nicely designed bot. So far it's looking pretty good. It's the in-hand "feel" that will make or break it for me.

Don't get me wrong the vehicle mode on this Ironhide is amazing but I really would have wanted to see the actual vintage Onebox van sculpt instead. The robot modes are really clean, but look a little too much like classic/generations, I would rather see something in between the original toy and the cartoon depictions. |

Still bulky... remember the G1 :  s29.postimg.org/ph7zsyznb/g1_ironhide_cartoon.jpgImo, this artwork (G1 Reissue) could be a good modern version for this character :  www.tfw2005.com/resources/attach/4/0/5/9/7/ironhide1_1214478900.gifG1 Cartoon designs are not easy to create : shapes are very a mix of block with curves and rounded parts. Badcube and Omnigonix are so far the best in this game. When I am looking the MP Lambor and his repaints, torso (car hood) is really large. Having this part going smaller by engineering could be better, but torso surface will loose the flat and G1 "spirit"... and also increase price  (Alternity is maybe the best engineering so far) I did a quick overpainting :  DX9 Invisible (Mirage) review : |

are soundwave ,sound blaster and bumblebee official products? is it out in the market already? All three are official. For Soundwave, there is both a Takara MP version and a Hasbro Version. Hasbro version comes with the 5 Cassette. But the Hasbro version has the yellow eyes like the old g1 toy. TakaraTomy version has the red eyes but only comes with one cassette (LaserBeak). TakaraTomy version also cost more than the Hasbro, it still retails for around $140. The Hasbro one retailed at around $130 or so but was really hard to find being a toys r us exclusive. When you said SoundBlaster, I think you mean Blaster right? Cause Soundblaster is the Black Repaint of Soundwave. TakaraTomy did release Soundblaster with Ratbat cassette. Bumblebee is also official TakaraTomy, no Hasbro version yet. As for Blaster, the Autobot boombox, that one is a unofficial 3rd party, made by KFC (Keith's Fantasy Club). |
