From the PP 01 series I've got:
Optimus Prime
Ultra Magnus
SG Optimus Prime
Nemesis Prime
Clear Optimus Prime
Gold Optimus Prime
Silver Optimus Prime
Are they scaled down MP Optimus Primes? Absolutely.
Does that bother me? Not one bit.
The quality control is amazing. Seriously. My favorite part you ask? The chest panels line up perfectly. Every one of my MP Optimus Primes have misaligned chest panels. They aren't weighed down with diecast, I can pose them however I want. They don't feel cheap, they feel like quality, tested and perfected transformers. This company, like KOToys, is producing figures for collectors who feel that Has Tak isnt giving them what they need.
The market doesn't want coneheads, it wants Bumblebees. Transformers fans who have been with the franchise since before the movies hit theaters are the customers iGear is selling to. No kid that jumped on in 2007 knows who Thrust, Dirge and Ramjet were. These figures are for guys like me. They fill a void in my collection, they do so perfectly.
I own the Kup replacement head and the IG-001Wreckers Leader upgrade for City Commander. Like you said, great quality and excellent pieces. But, that isn't really the debate that has been going on. It's not that iGear doesn't put out quality items, it's not that they fill "voids" left in people's collections, it is how they go about doing it. Had iGear created their own mold and used some originality for the MP seekers, most of the people that don't care for them wouldn't have a problem. Now there are some who don't want anything to do with 3rd party companies in general. Like Seibs himself said, in theory they are all "stealing" from HasTak and he is correct. Personally, I'll buy 3rd party items that are original and of good quality regardless of the manufactuer. IGear has proven they can make decent sets without having to con ideas. That is what they need to focus on.

Seibertron.com is a Transformers fansite. It is not a fansite about 3rd party products. I do NOT care for 3rd party products. I am TIRED of seeing the stuff here on this site. That's all it comes down to.

iGear doesn't have the talent to pull something like that off.
Unless someone did it first

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

Neither of the KOToys Sunstorms look like this.

I believe it's one of the test images KOToys used to advertise that they where working on one.

There's the thread with the images you're talking about. Nothing like what's shown here. KO Toy's Sunstorm V.2 was always pretty slavish to the G1 "reissue" version over the more popular PVC / comic version. I recall being disappointed by the first showing.
If it's just a placeholder image it's of somebody's custom Sunstorm.

Nope, that's not what I was talking about. That thread shows off the final toy shots of the Second KO Sunstorm based off the CHMS KO mold.
The image I'm talking about was a sort of WIP teaser that was floating around the net before actual photos of the first KO Sunstorm where shown. I just can't seem to find it anymore, the only trace I found now was a thread with a deleted photobucket image.

Not to doubt you, but I think you're wrong on that being a KOToys image. I visit their forum all the time. Let's just leave it at that.
Anyways, it's pretty weird for a placeholder image whether it's supplied by iGear or TFSource.
