IMO i gotta say Seraph Prominion is the weakest project so far .

I'm all over Seraph. The most recent pic in that thread makes him look pretty sweet.

I'm like 100% biased here lol i wanted Jaegertron from day one and have no interest in nova prime at all .

But even stepping back and judging them fairly i honestly think Seraph Prominion is the runt of the mmc litter so far .

If anyone else didnt know who the severed heads are in the trophy case , like me They are IDW styled predacon heads to swap out with feral rex members if you so wish

Makes me wish the Lockdown was IDW designed even more. I might buy it then.

Now this is what i'm waiting for!! (i know i'm alone in being super excited )

Oh boy , this is (for me) fantastic

Thanks, AG! I've also been waiting on this. Think the storage locker is a great idea. He's looking quite good.

Really? I thought the exact opposite. It's kinda dumb, and probably needlessly drives up the price of it. All he really needed was the meat-hook and some spike studs.

Remember, this is basically an excuse "pre-paint" of Death's Head.

Really? Well that explains a lot; thought there was a faint whiff of him about his head. But I still stand by my point - it just doesn't say lockdown to me, animated will be a tough one to top.

Too bulky to be Lockdown for me. That said, anyone buying him and not into the Feral Con heads, hit me up. I'd really like to have those.

Don't care what any one says i love it and will buy whatever retools they put out .

Looks like it's being retooled into Cyclonus.

He does look really awesome. Not enough for my wallet to give, but awesome none-the-less.

I would definitely want a Death's Head; he's a much more interesting character than Lockdown.

(Yes, I know he wasn't an actual Transformer, but he's still awesome.)

Whoa That cyclonus is sexy

If everyone was focusing on that fantastic cyclonus

i would just like to point out Lockdown here has his iconic hook hand and an IDW head

Is it a shame his body is not IDW accurate ..maybe , but the MMC RE-formatted is outstanding and ill take everything they knock out .

That's my biggest complaint. When I think of lockdown, I picture a very sleek, skinny robot. Something that makes you think he's fast & good at getting in & out of places. Unfortunately, this mold doesn't say that too me. The head & hook are a nice touch.

I'll need to see more of Cyclonus. If the backpack is still there, he won't be a buy either.

Personally these days i don't care for the "classics" look . I do like the IDW style , However when it comes to choosing figures i lean more towards a different look for a character were i can .

I've recently started collecting fresh for the 3rd time and i'm trying not to buy anything I've had before aesthetic or design wise from G1 , so most CHUG and MP have been knocked on the head

Anything cybertronian is what i'm looking for especially 3rdp wise , i want to have a unique collection of designs and aesthetics .

Yeah, I get it, for sure. I normally just look for the best representation of a character for my classics collection & I don't think this replaces what's come before it. Maybe if it was slavish to the IDW design my opinion would be different. I do think the tool/weapons locker is pretty cool & the IDW heads for everyone are very appealing to me. The price of this set could sway me one way or the other honestly.

This Lockdown isn't my cup of tea... but that Cyclonus!

I agree with McGrath though. If that backpack carries over to Cyclonus, deal's off.
