Hello,

I just watched Vange1us's TFcon vid a couple hours ago and was introduced to your SkyGuardian. I must say, that I look forward to seeing more on this project as it develops. I don't have any comments to add on SkyGuardian, besides he looks great so far!

Hi. And welcome to Transformerland! I noticed your project as I was checking out all the reveals from TFCon, just didn't know who was making it until now. From what I can tell about the renders this will be PERFECT. The 10" height will make this fit in with Masterpiece and Classics collections alike.

I like your design a lot more than that other Jetfire/Skyfire coming out from DaCa Toys: Titan. Their design, head sculpt and overall scale just seems off to me.

I buy a lot of 3rd party Transformers from many different companies, but my Skyfire/Jetfire will be coming from you Mechaform! I just have a few questions?

When will Pre-Orders open?
And will major stores (BBTS, TfSource, exc..) be offering this?
Projected Release Date?
Suggested Retail Price?

Thanks!

No, that was a selfish plug to get my hands on a prototype since I am impressed with the renderings.

Hello and welcome to the forums. As a big fan of skyfire, its always been hard to find a good quality figure semi close to the cartoon. This figure is amazing and there is nothing at all that I would change about his build. The one thing I think would be cool as an addition, would be to make a reversing decepticon/autobot symbol on his chest signifying his cartoon heritage. Having the ability to switch symbols would be pretty awesome. Kind of a bonus. I look forward to any more developments and will be awaiting one for pre-order. Third party Transformers are awesome!

Hi and welcome to TFL!
It's about time someone made a MP not-Skyfire! Overall he looks really good, but to be honest I'm not crazy about his face mold. Personally I'd prefer something closer to the cartoon version or the Classics Jetfire.
I would also like to agree with Dinobot; having a reversing Autobot/Decepticon symbol (if possible) would be cool.

Good luck, and please keep us updated on this project!

Just looking at the render shot above, it looks like the chest panel can be flipped to show either faction symbol. They're showing him off with both symbols anyways. Really looking forward to this!
