Iron Factory has shared new promo photos of Wing of Tyrant, their iteration of Starscream for their line of Legends-size figures. The figure looks very highly detailed - so much that it would be hard to tell it's a small scale figure if not for the size of the hand openings. The photos include coronation gear and a Megatron pistol, showing a good accessory loadout. This figure is more based on some IDW interpretations of the G1 Starscream design, and naturally, Thundercracker and Skywarp are to follow. The pictures are mirrored below, click through and take a look!

FansToys has shared a small gallery on Facebook featuring the prototype for their Hoodlum figure, based on Hot Rod. Joining their ever-growing lineup of Masterpiece-scale figures, Hoodlum represents a potential alternative to the already existing official MP Hot Rod.

The prototype is shown in robot and vehicle modes, and uses FansToys not-Kup and not-Springer for some group shots to show relative scale. We have the photos mirrored, so click through to see!

We've got another review video from diecast on the RFC Reviews channel, talking about Downbeat from Maketoys. Downbeat is one of a surprisingly small assortment of unofficial Masterpiece Jazzes, which bring slightly different ideas to the table. Downbeat seemingly isn't perfect, though it presents as more a collection of small problems than any one significant one. You can see the details of vehicle and robot modes, and the lengthy, but honestly pretty nice looking transformation process in between. The review is embedded below, so go ahead and watch right now.

Changing gears a bit tonight, diecast from Radio Free Cybertron has posted a new video to the RFC Reviews channel showing off a testshot of Arch Enemy, the first figure in the Master Builder series from new group Fans Hobby.

And about twice the volume of the original official Robots in Disguise Scourge toy! We've embedded the review below, so go ahead and take a look!

The Transform Mission not-Menasor project has been pushing along for quite a while, though a bit quietly recently. But to break that trend, a new gallery of photos have been released showing a full color copy of Powertrain, the set's requisite Motormaster-alike.

We've got the full gallery mirrored, so click through to see it now!

Planet X has shown off a few new photos on their Facebook page, giving us a peek at Apocalypse, their Trypticon based on the High Moon Studios video game design, planned to be sold as two components later this year.

A video has been posted showing the process of upgrading Combiner Wars Devastator with parts from a testshot of the X2Toys add on. Interestingly while providing almost entire new forearms and hands, the kit still calls for the original wrist plates to be used with the new parts. Otherwise everything seems a simple matter of snapping pieces on during the combination process. The video was originally posted to the Miaopai service, but we've mirrored it to Youtube for easy viewing. Click through to watch!
