Very interesting. I'm definitely going to watch this. And if it scales well with Giant, I'll be happy. I don't see Computron needing to be huge like Herc or MMC Predacons.

Now, just hold of a liiiiiitle bit for the credit card to recover from Menasor, Predaking, and Sixshot...

This will be the same size as that of Giant (Green/Yellow) as well as FansProject's offerings.

No love for Computorn, but it does looks pretty cool.

This won't be for this year I'm guessing. Will be watching this develop.

There's far too many things going on at the moment for me too even care about this right now.

I want Computron, just not from Maketoys.

I prefer the larger scale offerings, and hope one of those guys announces a Computron before this one starts coming out.

I may buy it with a plan to resell if TFC or MMC does one.

TFC does have plans of doing Computron... When? We don't know...

Yeah. They've still gotta get through their Superion first.

I'll get excited when I see prototypes.

Someone please tell me that Quantron is more than just concept images at this point. This has been in the works for a long time and not much to show for it.

Tru dat. Hopefully they're taking a page from FansProject and keeping things close to their chests until it's almost ready to go.

I really do like the designs, and like FansProject's Stunticons I'm OK with these figures being on the smaller end of the combiners.

My one problem with this is that it's going to look ridiculous going up against the Hasbro Abominus so MT better get working on them too!

I thought some 3rd party had mentioned Abominus down the pipeline. Can't remember who. Am I imagining it?

The concept image of Scattershot has a very huge cannon on his back. Looks a bit strange.

TFC posted some concept art a long while back. They also posted some Technobot-related stuff too. I guess we'll see if anything comes from either, since technically at this stage neither company has posted actual figures.

I think that is based off the G1 toy. The TFWiki article has that cannon on his back in the first image and talks about the cannon and the animation model in the Notes section at the bottom.
