We only know that it's a new project as per CenoKibble. Not MMC nor Mech Ideas. We should know more by end of the month.

I'm hoping it'll be the Mayhem Attack Squad members.

If it is I'll be passing. Building a Squad and adding the odd 3P piece, but not willing to pay mostly 3P prices for something that is just a sideline for my collection

Can only see a red cross, is there actually a photo of anything or just their logo?

I wonder if they have saught any type of permission, if needed, from Marvel Comics..?

LOL. Let's hope it's not Impossible Toys under a new moniker

could be...Junkions? I wouldn't mind some Mayhems. I'd happily throw some 3rd party money for a good Carnivac. And there aren't enough big moustachioed blokes in brown pants out there for any of us.

You have got to be kidding me. This is ridiculous. No pictures, concept drawings, or announcements of what they are making? :roll:

Sandman...sweep them off the stage.

From TFCon 2013

Et-tu Computron? Trying to meld the updated first post with what I see here.

Oh, and now that's more like it for a reveal! :APPLAUSE:

[Edit] It looks like daimchoc may have posted the wrong pics here. The pics on the first page are prolly what was supposed to go here:

This looks intriguing. Breastformers or Brainformers? Kinda gruesome riders.

Exactly what in the hell is this meant to be?? Terminator meets Tron?? I initially thought Junkions, but seeing that robot mode with the mini-figure makes me think Armada Sideways.

Whatever it's meant to be, it's not grabbing my attention.

News Credits: 10 · by **Agamemnon** » Sat Jul 27, 2013 7:34 pm

I was thinking Terminator meets Akira...

Are these anything like the mini-bike Junkions from FansProject Broadside? The chest/powermaster thing looks like the one FP release I never got. (Blanking on the name)

These are looking completely pointless! Any explanation as to what they are supposed to be?

Looks like Deathshead watched too much Batman.

I'm going to need to see prototype's at least to buy into this. Going to have to be cheap too.

There's only one reason for me to get one of these: if one was done in the style of Vroom.

These bikes look like a 100% Megazone/Akira melding.
Which actually, I'm ok with, as I need more Megazone stuff.
From the blurred picture, that looks like Transformers Prime Arcee. I'm pretty positive of it.
So, there are some sort of minibikes that function as powermasters for Arcee?

The transforming motorcycle obsessive in me is intrigued.
The scale fascist in me is concerned.

So basically this is in the wrong forum, this is its own entity and has nothing to do with TF other than being partially inspired by it.
So it's not a new 3rd party, but something original and new.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking as I was looking at this thread. "How is this a third party Transformer?"

Transforming Mech ≠ Transformer. There are plenty of other transforming mechs out there. The many different aircraft in the various Macross shows. (Well, aside from the VF-1's connection with Jetfire.) Megazone. Heck, while they don't have individual bot modes, I'd consider Voltron / Go Lion to be a transforming mech. So if someone made a third party product based on any of those, I wouldn't call it a Transformer. Thus, it shouldn't be in the "Unofficial Transformers 3rd Party and Knock Offs Toys forum."

Actually... In a way, there is no real place for 3rd party products or knock offs for properties other then Transformers to go. Should they go in the main Non-Transformers Toy Discussion forum? No. Because if 3rd party or knock-off discussion belonged with the official toy discussion for non-Transformers toys, then it would be a double standard to not allow it for Transformers toys. But non-Transformers based 3rd Party or Knock Off toys can't go in this forum, as it clearly says "Unofficial Transformers in the title... So non-Transformers based 3rd party or knock-off toys are kind of in a grey area, with no place to exist on these forums.

So, back to this thing. Nothing about it says Transformer to me, it doesn't look at all like it fits into any Transformers aesthetic I can think of... It isn't a third party Transformers toy. It's just a transforming mech toy. Could be cool, but nothing to do with Transformers.

But it doesn't look like anything else I know of either. Isn't it just a completely original toy? So really, I think this thread would be better in the main "Non-Transformers Toy Discussion" forum, rather then in the "Unofficial Transformers 3rd Party and Knock Off Toys" subforum. It's not a third party Transformer. It isn't a knock off of something else. It's just an original, non-Transformers toy, not really affiliated with any line I am familiar with.

You could have just petitioned a mod to have it moved. Please go ahead.

It was placed here as the initial information was that this was TF related. Oh Sh*t, even SteelCore isn't a Transformer since it doesn't even have any TF ties. It's a made up character that could fit in with current TF figures.
