Cool, so this is based on FoC Swoop?:
(reference)
I'm with X regarding it being a cassette. I'd much rather have a figure that transforms into this:

Yeah, I dunno. It's a nice cassette, but ... Swoop? What? This is a very solid "I don't know" from me. I collect cassettes, but I have a strong "no non-official guys" policy. Otherwise KOs would count, and most of those are ****.

Technically it's not Swoop. It's a cassette that turns into a Pteranodon and based on the FOC Swoop design. You can even see (sort of) a Decepticon logo on the dino head. Also, KFCToys was also planning on doing Dino Cassettes. There was even a photo that Scaleface posted that looked like a T-Rex. I'm under the impression that this one as well as the one that Scaleface posted are somewhat related.

Yep, you're right. I can see it's a Decepticon symbol molded in place of the Autobot symbol on its beak in the last pic. Weird that they designed it based on FoC Swoop (clearly). I wonder if the T-Rex is going to be Overkill.

it looks like a nice toy, but I can't see myself buying one. there are plenty of actual Cassette-formers I'd like to see first before we start making up entirely new ones.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Shame that it's so small and transforms into a cassette as that's an awesome rendition of FoC's pteranodon.

When I first saw this I thought of an MP sized Swoop for a sec... then I saw MP sized cassette... MP sized cassettes are the same size as regular cassettes so why do these guys advertise them as MP size? lol
Looking for:
Botcon Redux Spark (Pyro)

No idea, and you're 100% correct. MP sized cassettes are only different in details, transformation and articulation. Size has nothing to do with it.
I also can't see how something like this would fit in anywhere. It's an oddball concept really. An MP cassette that transforms into FoC Swoop's alt mode but is a Decepticon. I don't think there's a very big market for those these days

Thanks for posting.
It kind of looks cassette shaped, but I wouldn't go so far to say it is a cassette.

Yeah, other than the overall shape, it looks nothing like a cassette. Was a little interested until I saw that image. Easy pass nowStormrider wrote:Thanks for posting.

It's nice to see that it's painted. That's a step up for Eagle and I hope he continues to improve.
But, yeah ... unless they make this in red it has no place in my collection. I gotta draw the line somewhere and made up cassette modes for official characters is it.
