I sense an incoming Masterpiece too. Yet again, I am no Jedi (nor Sith, unfortunately).

Forget the MP. They couldn't even make Select Bugbite into the VW Bee in the first place.

That actually makes sense, since there could have been licensing issues that they could only justify for a major character such as 'bee.

As much as I preferred the first MP 'bee, for the second one they barely homaged a real-world car, meaning they probably can simply repaint it without any additional fee, thus amortising all the engineering behind it on a new figure.

Yet, as stated before, I am no fortune-teller.

VW have a tight leash on their license. Even in super deformed "toon car" looks, the license still apply with the logo and everything.

You're probably right, I saw the VW logo on the box of MP-45. I didn't remember it well, since I skipped that particular toy.

I do like the nod to the Action Master Bumblebee figure.

That Fallen is absolutely BAD-ASS!

Being rich with the mansion to go with it, I'd be all over that figure. But sadly, my Titanium Fallen will have to do.

Honestly, Titanium is the best representation of the fallen there is that does not cost $400 bucks.

My only issues with it are his rubbery guns, and his non descript hand blocks. Outside of that its one of the better Titanium Figures, and i own G.I. Joe Megs. So I kmow.

I was cool with it until they said he was $400

Officially speaking yes. But including 3p? I respectfully disagree.

Is the any other fallen figure outside of the titanium? Excluding the bay design.

The point is that talk of 3rd party figures stay in the non- Transformers and KO forum this toy forum is for official stuff only.

I'd love to see a "G1" Commander class The Fallen figure.
Because as good as the Titanium is, it's pretty outdated.

A Fallen in any size class of Voyager or up would be great. Him and an actually accurate Nova Prime- I've never cared for IDW but he had such a cool design.

Speaking of old perpetually on fire comic characters that need new figures, when the hell are we getting a decent Sunstorm? A friend of mine had a cool idea of molding parts of him in clear orange plastic that had gold chrome applied to the inside, as if he were blazing with solar power.

Damn. That would be cool as hell!

Some, not called out as "The Fallen", but by his original name of Megatronus (Prime):

If you feel like customizing, in the Train Wars manga, he appeared as a redeco of FoC Onslaught:

No need to refrain from commenting no harm was done.

There are several nods to him as pointed out. And of course this very $400 dollar figure.

And yes I agree he needs an update. A retool of Siege Megs would like work.

-Kanrabat- wrote:Because as good as the Titanium is, it's pretty outdated.

No, it's shit. It had potential but the over-abudance of die-cast ruined it like most of the Titanium line.

Its interesting that hasbro have moved away from the monkier 'The Fallen', we haven't even had a movie version of the character in Studio Series yet. Then again, who knows what the next generations line will bring.

Of those nods, the non-toy FoC is the closest to the original Dreamwave one if I may add:

Flames and a knight-like visor or bust.

Yes. Exactly.

I could see them release him as Selects figure.

Well, it's good... as far as Titanium go. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's worst figures. There's better ones. Titanium Fallen is at least average in it's category. This ain't saying much.

Flame Toys The Fallen looks like their Tarn. Weird gorilla proportions.

According to that post this will be a Furai Model, so one of the kit releases. Looks good, even if I'm not a fan of the design.

I really hope it is, I was so bummed when Primal wasn't a kit and he was almost $200. That's a no from me

Fingers crossed.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Powered Convoy and -WonkoTheSane-, we've learned that Flame Toys have taken to their social media accounts to show off the first coloured image of their Furai IDW Rodimus model kit!



Through the post, they've also announced that preorders will open for this kit on December 12th, at 12 p.m. (Hong Kong time)!

This design, as the name suggests, originates from the IDW Transformers comic series, More Than Meets The Eye (later rebranded Lost Light).

Will you be picking this model up? Have you made many of Flame Toys output so far? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

That Rodimus looks PERFECT!
The colors are a little too dark for my tastes, But this is probably a painted sample, Versus the plastic molded coloring one that'll be released.
I'm happy this great design finally has an official figure (obviously non-transforming, But that's a small price to pay, IMO).
Will be preordering the minute it goes up.
Also planing to do a review of it when it comes out, So watch out for that.
Oh, Also gonna need a black/purple repaint.

That Rodimus look awesome.... if's Rodimus was a human in armor. Because this one have the "Bayformer syndrome" of looking like a bot that cannot transform into anything.

That's a problem with a lot of the IDW designs after the aesthetic shift, IMO.

This kit remains my favorite that Flame Toys has put out. Devastator is a close second. Love this guy

Sad thing is that he'll probably be the only autobot megs we ever get

My favorite too.
On the note of other Autobot Megatrons, There was that Combiner Wars one, But that looked nothing like Autobot Megatron (And was officially sold as Decepticon Megatron), And just inexplicably came with an Autobot symbol.
I always hoped that since the whole Autobot Megatron thing was done so well, That people would eventually get over the initial knee-jerk reaction.. But the very concept is so subversive to what is expected (Which is one of the reasons I like it so much), That some people still have reservations to the idea.
From Hasbro/Takara's point of view, They probably see Decepticon Megatron as a safer bet; What sells easier.
If more ambiguity is portrayed in Megatron's motives in future media, More people might warm to the idea, But as of now, I wouldn't expect any Autobot Megatrons from HasTak anytime soon.
:Shrug:

Autobot Megatron ended up working out so well, I love it.

I do have the CW Megs with his Autobot symbol on, have had him that way since I bought him. That one in particular is and will remain my transforming Autobot Megatron

WOAH!

This redesign is WAY better than the previous one. More "comic accurate" and she look like Windblade, not some Frame Arms girl cosplaying.

She may be my first Furai purchase.

Aside from the wings and the colour layout, there aren't that many changes over the original as the comparison gif from this post shows https://twitter.com/JangotheBlueFox/sta ... 2784972802

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Powered Convoy and ThunderThruster, have let us know that Flame Toys have revealed new coloured images of their Furai Windblade model kit prototype!



The announcement was made via the companies social media accounts.

The prototype is based on an updated design rather then the one that Flame Toys originally unveiled, with this one bearing wings that resemble her comic/TV/toy character, instead of the more butterfly looking ones which were intended to compliment her geisha look.

What do you think of this model? Will this be your first Furai model kit when it releases? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Looking back at what's about to be the one-year anniversary on the meltdown over the model, I honestly felt more upset about the lack of wings than the rest of the proportions since man were they puny in comparison.

ThunderThruster wrote:Aside from the wings and the colour layout, there aren't that many changes over the original as the comparison gif from this post shows https://twitter.com/JangotheBlueFox/sta ... 2784972802

More importantly how does she look from the back? That seemed to be the thing that angered most people (that would never have bought this in the first place) the first time around.



Funny thing is every bit of original model concept art and the prototype above showed her from behind, but this time they seem to be being careful about how they pose her.

Anyway, the wings were always my primary issue so I'm happy with this. I also like that they made the gold headpiece more visible from the front.

Emerje

Pretty cool.

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if there are any changes in the rear, although I suspect not, due to the lack of shots from behind.

She's looking awesome! Give me preorders please!

Evil Eye wrote:She's looking awesome! Give me preorders please!

I expect within the next month or so

Looks a bit generic or play arts-ish, I think the third party fem Starscream is more my thing/frame arms/macross fems but definitely needed her wings.
