Wow, that is nicely detailed. Maybe this comes with a Galvy mini-fig?

Twas my first thought too. I might get this figure purely for the chance that this fella might fit in that cockpit.

I've noticed this too.

I wonder if the # of units produced are pretty close between TT & 3P for the masterpiece sized stuff?

Someone over at TF created this gif. Notice the pic is a bit animated as the pic shifts from short wings to longer wings.

Some members over at TFW don't like the short wwing span. Their hoping X-T creates longer wings. or another third party creates add on clip on longer wings.

Don't mind the short or long wings. Willing to buy this toy regardless.

Think this is the best thing ever.

Think X-T is really hitting some home runs out of the ball park. With X-T Megatron, X-T Scourge and X-T Cyclonus.

If I had to choose some words to describe this it would be. Work of art, better than anything we've seen done before. can't imagine anyone else doing better. Toys i've been waiting ages for. perfection, breathe taking. must have, heres my money take it.

Wonder what scale X-T is making this toy? Will it scale evenly with X-T Scourge and the MP Seekers? :???:

Hoping X-T Cyclonus is a scale bigger than X-T Scourge. As G1 Cartoon Cyclonus was taller than G1 Cartoon Scourge.

Would like X-T Cyclonus to be MP Leader class 9.5 inch tall robot height. or close to it.

XTB company designer wrote: XTB Eligos re-work.

After going through some of the comments over at tfw2005, I've decided to pull Eligos back to the drawing board. I'll see what I can do about the lower body which seems to be the main issues folks are having. The wings have already been adjusted slightly before the bot mode pics went live. One of the issues with Eligos is to keep the jet mode's body relatively short so some adjustments will have to be made there...perhaps lengthening it a touch. Another thing to keep in mind is photoshoping a render doesn't always translate into 3D terms. Those changes have to work in both modes. However, I'll see what changes are possible and resubmit it back into the production flow.
Thanks you

The chest I'll take a look at. might add a little more. but it has to feel right. a lot of folks are gonna fill that space with a big sticker.
I actually loved that G1 toy....don't know why. But as season 3 toys went, he was one of my favorites.
The gun master will be the same height as Rimfire (Andras's gun master) which is slightly taller than the TRU partner. They have ankle tilts though! that's gotta count for something, right?

Comparison with old version

Amazing!

Sharp! I really like the head.

News Credits: 4 · Wed Jun 03, 2015 9:15 am

Can't see the differences from the old one to the new one.

Think the only thing different I see are the lower legs are more curvy.

Guess i'll head on over to TFW and read their thread on this. to see the differences.

Yeah... I ain't seein anything either.

TFW Shiro1 wrote:The changes are slight, but significant.
The head is higher up thus giving him a more defined neck
The 'belly button' is a uniform shape now (not stretched)
The crotch and front hip panels now have beveled bottom edges
The knee covers are more squared off (again not stretched)
The shins now taper up to the knees (huge improvement)
A lot of the small details on the shin have been removed, which gives it a more refined appearance and better matches his top half
The toes taper at their ends perfectly
All are small changes but add up to a much improved look.

Another TFW member says he thinks he see more curvy thighs.

I might be wrong but I'm seeing longer wings hanging off the back shoulders on the robot mode.

Wings look the same to me. Which I thought was the main complaint? Odd move XT....

News Credits: 10 · Wed Jun 03, 2015 12:08 pm

The hexagon belly button is definitely smaller and more....perfect....

I meant geometrically

No, not that I like Eligos's perfect belly

Seriously, why is it sounding like that? Next thing you know I'll be complaining about the backs of some transformers being hollow because I like to display them backwards and bending ov....wait, what? :-s
