For a short period of time, iGear's Facebook Page has a picture of their Shark Sentry prototype. It seems to have been removed at the moment, but some of us news crew were fast enough to take a copy to share.

If this is anything like the Shark Sentries that were seen a couple of years ago, their size would be about scout-class to dexluxe-class, however plans may have changed since then. Keep an eye on SEIBERTRON.com as we learn more about this figure.

That's looking pretty sharp. I'm glad they abandoned the old rescaled knock off and actually made a new design for them.

Now this is awesome, I was wondering when I was gonna see some pics of this guy.. I was lucky enough to get one of the few prototype shark clones from DR WU before they canceled production. So I'm really happy that I-Gear picked up the slack.
And this guy looks like he'd be great getting chased by MasterPiece Grimlock!

Now if we could just get a release date..

I'd be happy with a preorder. They've done a lot of announcing lately. Or are they waiting for their Weapons/Medical specialists to come out first.

I like it.

That's excellent work. I'm interested. If it's not too expensive, I'll bite.

Probably, April will be a busy month. Weapon/Medical Spec., the new Abominus Giftset and Wierd Wold Headmaster. And now we see Gnaw here.. I'm so broke, lol..

Looks great. I want 3 to replace my Botcon sharkticons. But the tail looks like a christmas tree. Hopefully a 3rd party company can make a nice mace weapon for him.

Damn Yeah!!! iGear tell me when can I order?

GIMME!!!!!

The Botcon versions just aren't G1 enough for my tastes; these are EXACTLY what I want! I kind of like the idea that the entire Neo-G1 Quintesson court is made up of 3rd party products; it gives it a real theme in my eyes. Plus, my main focus in collection is getting Neo G1 versions of the movie cast .... so get these out quickly!

I think all the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly.

Doesn't look too bad. My dislike of anything Quintesson prevents me having an unbiased opinion of this.

OMG! Total want!
I hope these are affordable, if they're priced similarly to their mini warriors I'll take a few!

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I WANT THIS

This is neat. I'm assuming these guys know to produce these in high numbers because you just know people are going to want to build troop armies. Can you imagine how cool it would have been to see this on the store shelves back in '86 when we were kids as opposed to what we got back then.

He's not fat! He was supposed to be a big fat giant robot!

When my sister first saw Sharkticons, she said they looked like me. She's right, fatties with big noses. Look like me alright, now it doesn't!

damnit.

That aside, these are looking really good. I wonder how big these things are going to be, if they'll come in groups or singals, and how much they will cost in either case.
