That looks annoyingly good.

He's looking nice, and there's something about his shape that makes him stand apart from many other Decepticons.

Bring him on!

Enjoying all this MMC 'Con love coming post-Azalea glut.

first pic of bot mode looks a bit poo, but the prototype pic makes up for it in a big way. nice alt mode too.

Stopped buying IDW TF comics almost Three years ago. Recently read some Wiki info on the Decepticon Justice team. Have no connection to these characters and don't care for the torture decives alt modes they turn into. Wasn't a fan of the Microman TF toys that turned into house hold items and tiny electronics. These DJD guys seems like Horror versions of the Microman TF toys. I won't be buying these toys

I'm not really liking any of the others they've revealed so far, and while I'm not a fan of the bubbly 'Transformers Animated' looking tank alt mode, I am really digging that big, beefy bot mode. He looks like Megatron on steroids or something. I'm waiting to see the final colors etc., but I just might get this to represent some 'generic' Decepticon on my shelves, perhaps with my WfC/FoC figures.

I was just going to ask if this was a particular character. I have a Megs feel. I was thinking this would go with the Knight Morpher line, but the feel isn't quite right.

I do like the idea of a generic Decepticon soldier. I use a number of Prime and Movie figures for just that sort of thing...

For non-IDW fans, Turmoil was Deadlock/Drift's commanding officer.

Never read IDW. Don't care, want this anyway.

Also, PLEASE tell me those treads work...

Looks cool. I think I have enough IDW only characters to make an IDW oddities shelf. So I guess Im down for this too.

Just don't feel comfortable in my budget to spend 3rd party prices on non-1980's not-TF toys.

This guy looks fantastic . i love the treads in his legs.

If those treads work I might join the bandwagon hahaha

I like the design, but with no connection to the character, I'm probably not going to spend the $$$ on this guy.

I can make do with repurposing MMC's Turmoil as Alchemist Prime. Somehow, that makes sense to me.

Same here. Especially not at 3rd party prices.

Stopped buying IDW TF comics years ago. Don't know these DJD guys. Did a bit of quick wiki search months ago. Even if these sold at Hasbro USA retail prices, I'd most likely not even buy these toys.

I still like Turmoil, but if I get him or not depends heavily on whatever else is being released around the same time.

Robot mode looks really awesome!!

But......

Turmoil isn't DJD, he's Drift's boss when Drift was still a 'Con.

MMC why you do this to me!!!!!

It's been almost a year since this thread showed these test shot pics. How long does it take MMC to turn a test shot into a final release version toy.

At this MMC slow rate. It'll be 2020 when MMC finally releases Carnifex Overlord.

Alright!! We get the hint that you don't like it. Do you really need to keep commenting on the same thread with the same opinion over and over?


I for one like the Turmoil Character and I will probably try my best to pick this up.
