It looks like Flame Toys, the non-transforming Transformers figure licensee behind the extremely IDW accurate Drift, has their next project set up and teased - and it's another big presence in the IDW run of comics, specifically a More Than Meets the Eye character: leader of the Decepticon Justice Division, Tarn! The image was posted by user 断翼华尔兹 (of either Baidu or bilibili location), and may be part of the Drift packaging or promotional material. Check it out below!

It doesn't even transform 
... what is the point? A transformer that doesn't transform isn't a transformer. These are just action figure statues basically.

Let me just say... I completely agree with you.
However, the budget to make some characters transform and look like what people see in the comics would be huge (probably). These are action figure statues, essentially, which is what some people want. As for myself, I'm not highly interested, but I understand the sentiment.
On another note, if extremely media-accurate, articulated, cheap-ish TF models were produced, I think it would be cool.

To be quite honest, if there was any character to get this treatment, Tarn is the perfect choice as I doubt a character as defined by, uh... ahem, violent acts as him would ever get an official transforming toy from Hasbro. Maybe I'm wrong about this but it just doesn't seem like it would be within the realm of possibility -- so this is the closest to an official Tarn as we'd get. Still seems weird when one of his things is that he's literally addicted to transforming, though -- maybe this is his punishment

While there's yet no update on the Tarn figure from Flame Toys based on the IDW More Than Meets The Eye/Lost Light character of the same name and design; we now have a better, clearer look at the teaser for the non-transforming action figure to allow us to look in closer detail thanks to Flame Toys' Facebook page. Though nothing else about Tarn has been revealed as of yet, take a look at the picture below and tell us what you think in the comments!

Oh the irony!
Not saying this is a bad "figure" just taking note of the situation.

Heh heh -- I do love that myself. I'll just envision this as post-transformation cog burnout, pre-Delphi Tarn
I wonder if the size of this layout next to Drift is relative to the actual figure though -- like, if Tarn is that much bigger than Drift as shown here. What size would that make him; Leader? Either way if the price turns out to be low enough, this could be a nice alternative to Kultur if you don't care about transformation and just want a display figure and don't have an awful lot of money. Or if you're just a bit uneasy about third parties to begin with. I wonder if they'll make the rest of the DJD or other IDW-original characters like Rung or Aileron; their focus does seem to be on IDW which would explain why they went with Drift first -- being easily the most well-known IDW-original character
Either way this is getting me excited.

Nah I don't buy third party stuff besides reprolables and even then only conversion ones like the Dispensor one since I hate stickers since I have shaky hands/fingers.
Their too expensive as well like the masterpiece figures for something I'm only going to keep on display and sometimes Transform and fiddle with.

Yeah, naturally the price is a huge turnoff -- if I had a ton of disposable income I'd be buying half of MMC's stuff and a ton of Perfect Effect upgrades, but it's simply not an option I have. That's one of the big reasons I'm hoping this'll be relatively cheap besides the obvious; makes it an actual option compared to Kultur.
Of course, if this turns out to be a really expensive statue situation and he's barely cheaper - or, even worse, more expensive - than Kultur, then that's gonna be a huge turn-off when I could just pay a little extra or a little less for a figure that does everything this does but also transforms.
Hopefully though, either way this should reduce the price of Kultur; much like how MP Inferno and Shockwave reduced the price of the many Third Party MP Infernos and Shockwaves.

This could be a good alternative to Kultur if the figure is attractive and the price is reasonable.
And even though Tarn was addicted to transforming, I can't remember if he actually transformed in MTMTE.

Most of his scenes in the comic were of him torturing his victims physically or mentally - which is why it makes perfect sense for Hasbro to release a toy of him. A family company!
- so we didn't see it happen an awful lot. The only one I remember was during his fight against Overlord in Dying of the Light.

Actually, I think in Who's Afraid Of The DJD he did it a lot...ah, here, quote from the Wiki (sorry, don't wanna dig out the issue to check myself)
This issue makes clear Tarn's transformation addiction, as alluded to previously. When he steps off the ship, he transforms while everyone else walks the short distance, then transforms again to inspect Grimlock. When fighting Grimlock, he transforms to run over him with his treads, then transforms again to try his "talk to death" trick. When Crankcase unleashes the Cybernought, Tarn transforms to shoot it, despite having a perfectly good gun on his arm, then transforms again to address Fulcrum.

Flame Toys has teased via their Twitter the next figure in their line of non-transforming figures. All we get right now is just an illustration tease of their 3rd project which is IDW Star Saber. Check out our San Diego Comic-Con 2017 coverage for images of their 1st project Drift.

Well that's... very random. I've gotta assume they're relying on his popularity outwith IDW to sell well because Star Saber is certainly not the most prolific character in the comics.
Either way though, looks awesome

After weeks of knowing Flametoys had a non-transforming statue based on IDW's Decepticon Justice Division leader Tarn in the pipeline; we finally have a picture of the prototype! The company's put up a Tweet showing the greyscale prototype of the psychotic Decepticon loyalist and MTMTE villain in all his glory, giving us a rather good idea of how he'll turn out. Check out the image below, be sure to check out Flametoys' teaser for Star Saber and tell us what you think in the forums!

There are some slight Gundam-esque design cues (especially the stance), but if you put this design in a Gundam show it'd stick out like a sore thumb.

Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of the 'classic' Gundam stuff I used to collect. Stuff that looked like this. And even with this very basic Gundam design I can see many similar elements in that Starsaber figure illustration. Less so in the IDW comic panel. I reckon Flame Toys artist has some experience or interest with Gundam.

So the preorder for Drift just went up on BBTS. I was considering picking up him and Tarn to go with my IDW collection, but turns out Drift is $300. Which means if they scale Tarn is going to be even more. I'm glad I picked up MMC's Kultur, because he's only a fraction of the cost. Yikes.

As reported in our earlier post, about the non-transforming Tarn figure, the Flame Toys Twitter account is bustling with all sorts of new images today! Here we get a peak at an Optimus Prime from their booth at AGCHK!
So far the sketches represent their designs for IDW incarnations of Tarn, Star Saber, Drift, plus Optimus Prime, who does not follow the same aesthetic, for some reason. What else do they have in store? Keep your optics here as we post them here for your viewing pleasure.

I dunno. Looks like he's really trying to hold his gut in. Also the chest reminds me more of RotF Bludgeon than Prime.

That Optimus Prime reminds me of a piece of art I saw a long time ago. It featured a giant profile of Megatron's face on the left side and a hyper anime style Optimus Prime on the right.

Flametoys has revealed via tweet that their non-transforming but fully licensed figure of Drift - based on the original IDW design as he appeared in All Hail Megatron and his own original miniseries - has gone up for pre-orders on their official website, D4Toys for the fairly hefty price of $276. In addition, they've revealed that pre-ordering or purchasing the figure on their website also nets you an exclusive bonus Helmet piece for the figure; complete with pointy yellow spikes. Check out the image of it below and click on said image if you want to pre-order the figure before telling us what you think in the forums!
