R-04 Leo Dux - Squadron Commander premiered today at Metrocon! Sadly no prototypes, and the render itself was rather dark, but I hope that things turned out ok.

I also had a chance to chat with one of MMC's designers who said that the Protectobots are in early conceptual stage.

Leo Dux is looking pretty awesome. Since we're nearing Q2 2013, I'm hoping that a more narrowed down ship date for Talon is offered soon.

If only Not-Rampage could form a leg as well. I would be very tempted to buy 2 Razorclaws and 5 Rampages =P~

The alt mode doesn't blow me away like the other two.

I agree with Stormrider that the alt mode is a bit disappointing but since my figure may never see this mode, I don't really care. It's all about the gestalt mode here!

You try having a lion's head for a spare tire.

Maybe he convinced his wife that "round" is a shape too... I know that's kept me off of the treadmill. :oops:

It's probably just the angle with it been a shot of the chest and side.

I rather like them revealing Razorclaw as the next one in the lineup. it means we can get Preadking going a little bit quicker.

Really thinking about picking these up. Wasnt going to because im happy with my G1 but they look real good.

....same strategy as TFC? :-?

News Credits: 119 · by **daimchoc** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:38 pm

Looks like MMC is taking a stab back at TFC's Ares as well as UT's Warlord Beasticon... :lol:

I like it. Sort of a gentle little bitch-slap challenge to TFC for attempting to pull from their market and they did it without insinuating sexual relations between people and animals. ;)^

I do wonder though... what's an RPBOT COBINER?

I think it's a jab at their advertisement for Ares, rumoured to be another Predaking.

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 1:19 pm

And a small jab at UT's "rpbot".

I find it interesting they have the sixth member sitting on the shoulder like its a sout when it supposed to be an arm roughly seven inch in robot mode.

If I had to take an educated guess, I'd say that's Divebomb on the shoulder. Since the left and right arms look so similar, I'd venture a guess the sixth member, the Saber-tooth Tiger, is one of the arms here.

Not a bad guess but wasnt divebomb on the back ment to give more stability i asumed he would have been a back pack still strange if it was him they would show him as an extra with no wings.

I'm with you. I had pictured Divebomb as a backpack with the wings still attached to Divebomb's back. I'm not sure what the purpose is for the shoulder hump. I guess we'll have to wait for clearer pictures.
