I wonder if it'll be that Arcee mold recoloour we saw a couple years back?

I'm oddly excited by this.

So its an mmc fembot mold with a renderform head? I would be more excited if they werent trying to create a new character when there are a handful of fembots that they could homage.

I believe they already have plans on homaging all the fembots. (Did I just verb homage?) (Did I just verb verb?)

Me too!! I've been excited about this possibility since it was first teased on April Fools Day over a year ago. (I think it was then.) For some reason, the Predacon colors on the fembot mold look really, really good to me.

It could explain why Venksta was posting all those pics of the recolour prototype a while back , maybe he's been helping out with a design for a retool or designing a head sculpt and weapons .

I hope MMC are not playing around this time and they have some prototypes on show .

I need some femcons .

I'm much more enthused by a Renderform collaboration with MMC than with his collaboration with IT.

Curious to see what we get! Would love an Arachnid head on a black fembot recolor... but realistically, we'll get that April Fool's Feral Rex recolor.

Still don't think there is any need for this toy. HasTak, 3rd parties and TFCC have all aready released so many femmebots and repaints in over excess already.

In 2014 HasTak is set to release 30th arcee and Winblade. These Two molds will no doubt get repainted and remolded into more femmebots characters.

Rather see MMC Cancel the fembots and move up MMC Carnifex Overlord for release this year.

I think Transformers like to call them "pistons."

If it's that Feral Queen tease from last year, I'd be in for one. I thought it was interesting enough and I would love another extra member of the Predacons.

But if it's not... hmmm... still intrigued.

Whatever happened to those 1980's Season 2 Femmebots or arcee that MMC delayed. MMC Had them planned for 2014 after they released all the Ferocicons. I thought this Feral Queen was the MMC Season 2 Fembots toys.

With MMC slow pace,Think it's a bad idea for MMC to release Both Feral Queen and those MMC Season 2 fembots. These fembots projects will no doubt delay everything else for One to Two years until they stop releasing these toys with all the repaints, Remolds.

I'm as patient as the next guy. However waiting till 2016 until MMC Releases Carnifex Overlord is too long of a wait. Think Carnifex should get moved up while the fembots and feral queen get delayed more.

The fembots are still on the MMC website. Though they all have a release date of Q2 2014, which since there is 29 days left of Q2 I don't think is happening. R-09 Zinnia is a PSX exclusive. I've been keeping my eye on PSX to see if a preorder goes up. Haven't seen one yet. It's a waiting game, but there is no indication that they have been canceled. In fact, with the info on this page, I am more convinced that they will happen at some point. Plus, with the lack of good, high quality (and highly available) fembots, I'll take these!

I know there was a huge push for this, but it's just not for me. Give me one of the canon femmebots from G1. The trio that hang with Alpha Trion, Nancy, and any of the other canon girls. But a Predacon coloured Arcee? Meh.

Was this just an on going joke or what :BOOM:

News Credits: 10 · Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:00 am

I thought there was enough interest that MMC was going to make her along with the other 4 planned fembots. (Unless she is one of the 4 planned fembots.) I'd like to get her and pose her just like that on my Feral Rex.

News Credits: 12 · Mon Jun 02, 2014 4:10 pm

Looks pretty good. I hope they give her a sort of "Amazonian" vibe- leopard print deco anyone? :lol:

But seriously, more femmes is always a good thing, G1 based or not. A shame she probably can't combine with Feral Rex- her forming a weapon or a backpack or something would be awesome.

"Bow to my command Predaking, for I am...FERAL QUEEN!"

Renderform have posted what could yet be another tease .

Renderform and friends MMC and Mech Ideas will be sharing a booth at Botcon this weekend and have teased once again the MMC "prototype" Arcee only this time in another post from Venksta there's what looks to be an alternative head and weapon molded in the same colour ? .

Isn't Greeny G Green the head for the Prime-BW mold? Or is that what you are talking about with milking a mold?

Wed Jun 18, 2014 4:42 pm

I think X is referring to the GGG as Renderform milking the mold, since the original offerings were blue for Dark Steel and red for Bodora. Green is using the original release of the character for Grimwing.

Look, it's a limited run of 25 for a special occasion. It's not really homaging any character, so no worries on my part.

Back on topic, that's a gun and... a gauntlet? I'm not sure what's that 2nd piece being teased is. Guess we'll find out in a few days.
