The cyber key gimmick was in the shoulders, there were hoses going through the arms, the lion head was covered by armor, the claws were hidden in the arms instead of laying on top of them. There's something that sort of looks like thumbs on the knees, but what about the rest of the fingers?
As for an MP, that would require them making a Cybertron Prime first and that's not likely to happen any time soon.

Not as different as you might think, since there's plenty of vestiges of it (including the funky outward articulation designed to accommodate the shouler claws); also, I think the forearms had Cyber Key slots even on the prototype (meaning 4 slots total) because of having to disconnect them for arm mode. The biggest difference is that they dropped the "vestigial SUV front" chest that would have covered the lion head in robot mode (for the better IMO, since it woulda clashed weirdly and Overhaul didn't have a hood chest anyway).Emerje wrote:Has the prototype been shown in arm mode?

Yeah, it's honestly relatively simple. Add the thumbs back on to the obvious mounts for them, add the finger mounts on the upper back/inside top of the knees back in, make the paws and heel piece thin enough to not get in the way (and possibly double-jointed), and make the backs of the upper legs open so that you can fold the lower legs into them. Maybe hinge part of the front of the leg to open temporarily for clearance for the fingers? Folding the lower legs up would push the fingers into position, and voila! You would need new 5mm ports or some other mount on the front of the legs for the forearms, but that's ultra simple.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:

From what I can tell, the fingers are tucked away in the upper legs, pushed out when the legs are folded up. Shame they had to simplify it, can anyone design new lower legs for a proper Savage Claw Mode?
