FP has teased their newest figure Function X-09 Positum, scheduled for release in September at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention. Positum is a variant of Croc, the Decepticon known as Skullcruncher, redeco'ed as Optimus Prime from the episode "City of Steel".

Here's the newest teaser pic:

I always thought that was neat.

Not $80-$100 neat, but neat.

A con exclusive paying homage to one of the worst episodes in Transformers history?

OK then.

Neat, but pointless.

Maybe that's WHY it's a con exclusive instead of a regular release.

It will look good in an Optimus collection. Personally, I'm still on the fence.
Clever name fansproject.

I might get this to get the mold as I am still unsure of replacing my TW version Skullcruncher...

I think I will pass on the Crox mold completely with all the rumors that Titan wars will include a lot of headmasters. that Highbrow though will be brought. =D

Looks like the cockpit of the mold can become the chest.

Nice Easter-egg, but in the episode the "Alligat-icon" was made of Prime's Disassembled Parts, and certainly didn't transform. This mold might have been better recycled as a Quintesson Guard or something.

...Now this has my "kitbash" instincts going...

8-)

This is transformed the same way their Crox is.

I like it. Not sure if I'll but it looks alright. I'm a little bummed the headmaster isn't new.

I'm pretty sure it is. Looks the same to me anyway.

Here's a pic of Crox:

I wonder if we have a thread on Crox....I couldn't find one quickly.....

We do, it's just buried. I think the picture you just posted was one of the last posts added to it. i think both color schemes look good on this mold. I just really wish the Prime re color would have gotten a new head. Maybe an FPCore exclusive or freebie...something to set it apart.

A potentially great figure ruined by shoe-horning in this stupid homage. FP's Skullcruncher suffers for this redeco.

Crocodile. Toyworld's is more of an alligator.

Sorry, I'm such a nerd sometimes.... :-B

I hope it didn't appear that I was picking on you. *sheepish grin*

And I think Skullcruncher was intended to be more of a croc, if memory serves. I think that was one of the complaints about Toyworld's take on him.

Even though I have never seen the GI cartoon (too young) this guy is such a quirky transformer that he deserves a spot on my Optimus shelf. Gater not Truk! Instabuy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
