Yeah, he looks like he could just step on the other four.
Is this design even based on anything? Or is it just more of the same generic, overly detailed, "Anime/Gundam-esque" stylized look that was more popular in the 2000s?
That's my problem with it. It looks like the worst sort of third party "reimagining" of the Predacons, without even the impressive robot modes. Just a bad combo of overwrought aesthetics and not great engineering.
Shouldn't something called Adamas Machina transform into the Battlestar Galactica?
I'd buy that for a dollar.
At the recent T-Spark event in Akihabara, MPM Nucleon Quest Super-Convoy and other toys were on display.

SOmeone's got to play The Touch while its happening.
I don't know how much Predaking was but I am pretty sure people will pay $400 but only have a $500 bill. They will hand this to the cashier who will ring it up for $650 and receive $740 in change.
And then it will pan out to Swindle holding a pointer and saying "And that concludes my Ted Talk on Inflation." and cut to Takara's logo.
On a more serious note I was honestly hoping for another Dinoking style mini-combiner, but there's no real chance of that with what we've seen so far.

This month's "Figure King"magazine in Japan is a Transformers special.
While we're waiting, there is a scanned pdf copy OF ANOTHER, UNRELATED MOOK ABOUT TFs, which is available here (until we get scans of the version above). - Thanks for the heads up, Powered Convoy.
Amazon Japan listing is here (¥1250).
There's also an (older?) edition that might be a bit similar, which can also be ordered here.

More info about the original Bearbrick TF line(s) can be found here.
Like the originals.
This is the one black Optimus that can excite me. That and Jafcon Convoy.
Mad that we were getting G1 reissues from Tamara as early as 2001, and this is the first time Sunstreaker been reissued (albeit in modified form). Guess the moulding was that difficult to rebuild from scratch…
CAD is probably a game changer that makes it much easier to re-create lost moulds.
