Sandstorm art has no wheels in shoulders, for one.
I'm not sure how you could say the toy is "derived" from this art, as it's only marginally similar.
I guess it's the same way you can say that skyscrapers are derived from wooden block displays.

You're right. With the exception of the head, lower arms, chest, waist, upper legs, knees, lower legs (albeit turned 90 degrees), feet and placement and design of the VTOL and props, there are no similarities. Except the gun. That's pretty close.
Maybe someone has trouble with the concept of concepts. I'm actually amazed that they didn't change more in three years.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

all in all there is no way to know which came first -but does that matter we got 2 triple changers out of it and neither character has been given a decent triple changer figure since the original g1 and lets face it some of the older figures don't hold up that well compared to others

Simple: some fans like to see how the design process went for a particular figure. In fact, I have Complete Works books of some Mega Man series, detailing the development of some characters including sketches. Pretty interesting to read.
