Caught this just this morning. Definitely intriguing; I'll be keeping an eye on the development. A big concern for me with new company names is QC.

Looks like he shares a lot of similar engineering with MP 'Bee. Not a problem; just an observation.

Gotta say. I'm diggin these. They're a spot on match for the official MP aesthetic (which is not easy to do) and very impressive for this companies first outing. Not sure if I'll pre-order, but I'll definitely wait for an unsponsored production review

What a non squeeshed Cliff Porsche should look like when given the MP treatment. I wonder what's the holdover on Takara's side at making an official Cliff or Jazz for that matter.

Honestly, I'm surprised he's not squished. 3P's don't have to conform to anything or anyone, so they could have chosen to go cartoon accurate all the way. Whereas if there is an official is made, official licensing would force them to make him like this.

this looks like it might top mp bee for the price since it has diecast leds and all the other stuff

But it won't look Masterpiecenesque which a lot of 3P makers have done with not Hound,Sunstreaker etc

i no longer like this one.
x-transbots looks soo much better

That Cliffjumper looks good next to Bee

I'm cautious, because I think we've only seen renders from XT so far, and not actual figures. Plus, the one or two products I bought from them weren't the greatest, quality-wise. I like the feet better on the XT versions, but not so much that I'd never consider these guys; they still look good to me.
