Yeah, looking at all of the ones shown, I'm really only feeling the Bumblebee and Devastator. Not a whole bunch of extra flashy bits on Bumblebee, and Devastator has just the right amount of robot nonsense on him. The others are too over stylized for my taste.

I love that design, and the deluxe didn't do too bad with it, but this dials it all the way up to 20!

No Windblade, but I don't see Primal either. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'm hopeful that they're reevaluating the design.

If they do decide to change it, I hope it's by adding optional parts that leave it possible to keep the original design if we want to

The thing I'm disappointed with if we lose the Windblade kit, I was looking to kitbash her into Slipstream using parts from the broken Starscream kit I have. She'd make a great base kit, not just for Slipstream either.

Not sure if it was a kit however. It may have been just a very expensive "posable statue".

Autobot, it's the Shattered Glass version.
It's a kit, says Furai Model right at the top of the pictures.
Because...
Also, I don't have any problem with Primal's stylized fur. The sharp edges are a lot like Lio Convoy's robot mode mane. He's a shaggy monkey, but should match well with the Lio kit.

I don't own the franchise & I'm not trying to ruin it either. So it's not the same & doesn't apply to me.
No! I'm upset that A. They don't really care about the figure. They're starting trouble for no reason at all. And B. they're directly messing with my hobby. If they want to be jerks that's fine. Just don't directly affect me with your stupid nonsense. Go be a jerk over there, in the corner, somewhere else. Be as jerky as you want to be! Just don't involve me. It's okay for them to try to get the figure cancelled or changed but I'm not allowed to say anything?
Oh no I can't insult the lesbians, God forbid! That's just the end of the world right there! World War 3, 4, 5 & 6 all rolled into one. Give me a freakin break! Who cares if I hurt their stupid feelings? WHO HONESTLY CARES??? Absolutely nobody! That's who!

Too lazy to quote here but if Flame Toys finally notice that the Twitter activists will NEVER buy any of their figures anyway and release that Windblade kit as it is...
Well, mixing and matching this kit with the Starscream one could result in one hell of an awesome Splitstream! This would be one hell of an expensive custom but in the hands of someone competent who also know how to paint figures, this would totally rock.
However, it would still be a Flame Toys kit.
And Splitstream should have the mandatory bulging and thrusting crotch or it wouldn't count.

Given the presence of lots of IDW based kits in this line, I wonder if they'll do a Nautica given her popularity?

You know, I've been reluctant to comment on this "Twitter activists" stuff, considering my history with them, BUT ... what you're saying here Kan, is giving them too much credit. You're feeding their egos by thinking they actually have made a difference.
They haven't.
The figure is still going to be made, maybe it'll be modified, maybe it won't.
But I say this not as the Forum Admin, but just another TF fan, don't let people like that impact on your collecting, don't let them impact on how you interact with other fans, don't acknowledge them, don't give them the time of day, don't give them anything, give them nothing and take their power away.
Give your support to Flame Toys, let your voice be heard in a positive way.
Someone let me know when this post is picked up on Twitter, I need a good laugh.

Another idea (what I did) is to email Flame Toys and tell them you think the kit looks great and you want to buy it when it comes out. Show them there is interest in the kit and that it will sell. Positivity is a hell of a tool.
Anyway!
I REALLY hope we get an "Attack Mode" Megatron ala Optimus and Starscream. The IDW kit looks good and all, but I adore the stylized redesigns from this line and I'd love to see Megatron get one. Also Shockwave, because Shockwave is literally never not good.

One thing is sure.
MONEY TALK.
And corporations are finally taking notice.
If FT stick to their guns that's good.
Personally, I find that Windblade incomplete. And what would be the best thing for FT to do and would satisfy most people is to ADD things in the box. Sure, this would make the kit more expensive but it would be nice to have the option to be able to build either "full waifu" Windblade, full bot Windblade, or an hybrid of both.
Akin to those wonderful Kotobukiya Frame Arms Girls kits:

If Wingblade does get cancelled, I think the actual fanbase should stop buying the Flame Toys model kits altogether. If the company is going to let a bunch of people who were never going to order it in the first place dictate what they are going to release, then the people who are supporting them should stop doing so.
Until that happens, these companies will continue to bow down to that hate filled minority on twitter.

I'm not going to claim to be representative, but I collect the Furai kits and I very much want them to change the Windblade design. My favorite kits are the ones that match IDW designs, especially for characters like Megatron and Rodimus who haven't had Hasbro toy versions of those designs. I don't think their version of Windblade is a good representation of the character or of the brand, and I want a model that is.

Boycotts don't really work, you'd find that there would be just as many if not less, people supporting a boycott then people initially complaining anyway. Burn is right, the model hasn't been cancelled, it just wasn't on show because it wasn't ready to be on show, same reason Primal wasn't there.
Now on to an idea I had. All this talk of slipstream got me wondering if there was a viable market for Flame Toys to make a sort of custom expansion... Thing... For the seeker mold, like extra facial expressions, different sort of eye types (visors etc) with the end purpose to encourage fans to not only customise to other seeker characters, but to create wholly unique ones. After all if thd seeker body type in fiction is mass produced then stands to reason there's more then just the 20 odd that we know of.
Actually in a war that lasted 5 million years, I'd imagine the list of dead seekers is several hundred times greater then the list of the ones we know
