Or Dezefticon said, you can wait for MMC and shared an image of the head render.

BADCUBE!!! (Badcube whatcha gon do?)
Steamroll = Sideswipe. Recon = Red Alert. Holy shit. Breast reduction!

Recon! Red alert! Has door arms! And toon accurate car mode (Drew thinks it’s ugly, but he’s wrong), differently molded parts compared to Swipe. Real arm tires on Recon unlike the MP.

Badcube spent a good 20 minutes chatting with me (let Drew have his 15 minutes of fame) and showed me Sideswipe head shots!

On their FB page, Badcube said they are considering making his face/head “sexier” due to the feedback.

There is also a low res video showing the transformation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1fBRGUM_fQ
It seems less complex than Peru Kill and still hides most of the truck inside of it with little kibble. Impressive!

New pics of SS Megatron and Brawl:

Discussion Question:

“What I’d love you to discuss is how you envision a MP Prime 3.0 or Grimlock 2.0? Looks, scale, transformation, colors, toon look? Accessories etc.” - Erik Rosenquist

Transformers Animated is now 10 years old. It was a very successful show with an equally successful toy line. It's still loved by fans. We have seen no celebration or acknowledgement of this anniversary from Hasbro. Why is that? Will 3P do more animated characters? - Drew
