If a proven 3P was producing this, it may be worth it. But this seems too ambitious for a newcomer.
You never know, it could turn out to be a proven 3rd party behind it but using a new off-shoot name the way Fansproject (Maketoys) and CHMS (X-Transbots) did?
I would like to see a teaser prototype photo with size comparison against a familiar favourite such as WFC Prime or Megatron? Just a leg shot would do for the moment!

Yep, just read that in my inbox. It's too bad but I can see why. It appears to be an exact replica of the WfC character model for Omega Supreme and Hasbro and/or High Moon could certainly pursue legal action if they chose to. BBTS, being based in the US, has to be a lot more careful about that kind of thing than other etailers.

I think this is probably more likely a case of BBTS not wanting to get stuck with a bunch of $350, 11lb, 3rd party figures that could have some serious QC issues (have these guys made anything else?). I mean, they still have various devies from Maketoy and TFC.

I would agree with your assessment. Anybody remember Sonicron? At least he was only $60, but BBTS had him on clearance for about half off for the longest time. I'd hate to know how much was lost on this guy (even though I purchased one at full price). I still think the forearms are going to be too heavy to support properly (a la City Commander's BFG).
Maybe if this company produced a few prototypes and had them make the rounds for about a month to get feedback, folks would feel more secure in their investment. Whether or not this changes BBTS' decision to carry the product remains to be seen.
