Coming straight from the Facebook of MakeToys we have the first prototype for the company’s new Cross Dimension series, Striker Manus – an unofficial take on the big bot himself, Optimus Prime! We had previously gotten a colored render of this guy, but this is our first look at the actual prototype. This bot is looking especially stylish, with hard edges and all sorts of attitude inscribed into his sculpt. While we have plenty of bot modes photos here, there are unfortunately none of his vehicle mode as of yet.
Check it out after the jump, and stay tuned for colored pics!

Does Fansproject's Classics Prime Trailer work with Manus?

Hey, what's the going price for a Striker Noir? I have one MISB and I was thinking $300, but that may be a bit high.

I think they work for the most part, if you don’t mind your leaders being a little taller. I use my Seige figures with him, the only one that kind of bugs me is Ultra Magnus, he’s not tall enough.
I use Rioter Despotron with my Seige chugs too.

hmm darn

Way taller than my Ironhide. IH comes mid chest but that's with the add-on extensions on IH's legs.

How does this guy scale with siege figures? Anyone got any pics?

Anyone have a pic of Striker Manus next to Planet X Vulcan?
I’m thinking of getting Vulcan to go with him.

A NECA stand. They sell them at target for $10. It’s what I’ve used

Would anyone happen to know a good display stand for Manus? I have one with me that looks like an old Tamashii Nations stand but it isn't large enough to get him in the air. I'm trying to find a stand large enough to let me do the jumping pose from the 1986 movie.

I think if they were to make a Magnus armor, they would need to design new shoulders to resemble the Gundam or Generation Toy IDW Prime ones so that the biceps could move out independently in order to facilitate for the long shoulder stacks.
Alternatively, have Magnus shoulder armor stacks over the shoulders but have some joint that could independently rotate the stacks. But then shaving the top portion of the existing shoulder just above the notches would be able to provide more clearance.

Just don't get mad when first release is Duke #lol

You know what I saw in that video that I wanted? Energon Tidalwave, or whatever the repaint was called, but redone. Make it happen someone!
