Iron Factory is making something REALLY interesting. Sure, she will not transform, but anime waifu wearing armor is a thing since a while and now it's the transformers turn!
I'm pretty exited for this line actually and I hope for more girls to show up.

What do you guys think?

The trio will ne made for sure. I juste hope for Wrap ans TC to each have a different head. Maybe some face-plates with different expression too.

I thought outside of upgrade kits, I was mostly done with third-party.

How wrong I was...

Woah... I'll bid my time for now. Because preordering for too long in advance spell trouble for me.

In the same spirit, I'd really, REALLY want a figma-like figure of Sari Sumdac.

Hell, yeah! Although I'd like figures of a lot of the humans over the years.

I kinda wished they left out the rabbit ears and saved that for a Cyclonus redeco/retool...

The "bunny ears" are cute and odd at the same time. It's indeed a brilliant idea for a Cyclonus though.

While I'm not a super huge Seeker fan, a nice bright green Acid Wing deco would be cool. Also, this design doesn't look too sexualized or Lolita-esque, so I wouldn't mind having one on display with my kids around.

The actual figure looks a bit primitive (not a great deal of articulation) but I do like the idea and the design. Gives me an idea for a Frame Arms Girl custom, assuming I ever move my colossal modelling backlog along enough to buy any. Though I am a bit disappointed that she's not based in appearance on Alexis from Armada.

And +1 for Sari. What I'd really like is a TR-compatible figure with a robot mode based on her "powered up" appearance, a vehicle mode of...some kind, and a headmaster that represents Sari herself.

I did a custom of Sari using a TR Windblade. But the paint is completely messed-up.
I'd link to my custom thread but the pictures died long ago.

After all this time, it's still just a preorder.
And Corona-Chan is not helping.

Anyone have a clue when it will truly come out?

I reached out to Age 3 and Up to ask what's up with Starwing's status and here's what they told me:

Age 3 and Up Support Staff wrote:Sorry Kanrabat, we don't have any good news. Right now we know that Iron Factory is behind, because a lot of factories are working at half speed in China. They don't have enough people to work full shifts. Right now Iron Factory is scheduling a release of the red dragon Heat Death - and that's being short shipped in an effort to just getting it out and keeping somewhat of a timetable. They're going to be behind, as people fight with factories to try to get product out.

Keep in mind Kanrabat, you can always preorder this product without having to pay for it. You're committing yourself to buying it without paying for it, and you can cancel it without penalty before it arrives.


Well, I'm still not preordering. When this thing finally exist, maybe I'll buy.
