Custom Robots has updated their Facebook page with their next project, Tracks. If you are not familiar with Robot Customs previous work, these are basically Revoltech style figures. Which means they will not Transform but are highly articulated. More images are attached after the break.

Dont tempt me into coming back. LOL Had to give these up as my collecting was expanding too much and need to save money somewhere.

Man! I was hoping to spread the cost out on these two, having to get two every time is getting expensive.

Thanks for the new pics, cybergeeks alliance

Yeah, I'm definitely one who's not familiar, but I guess I am now. This isn't my thing, but it really looks fantastic, so I'm thrilled for everyone who's into the non-transforming action figures.
I agree with your second point, too. I was going to make an exaggerated example to make a point, but I think your example hit the nail on the head, and nothing further needs to be said.

+1. My thoughts exactly. I personally love the Revoltech line though I know some folks hate the Pat Lee aesthetic/proportions (I think it works fine for fun, highly articulated, non-TFing figures), or lambast Revoltechs in general (the only real issue for me is getting them to stay standing), or hate non-TFing Action Masters or whatever ("If it doesn't transform, then it's not a real Transformer!" – Dude, you're in the 3P Forum — none of these are "real Transformers" to begin with. )
I personally love Custom Robots stuff and CGA hasn't steered me wrong with their customer service either. Looking forward to picking up Hound and Tracks (they both look great)! Not sure if I like Sixshot enough as a character to get him too, but I'm definitely down for an Ultra Magnus. I'm hoping Mirage is up next as well. He'd make for an awesome looking Revoltech!

Oh here's more.

I was hoping for the next reveal to be Sideswipe to go with their Sunstreaker *hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink*

Yeah, it's clear that a lot of people here are not familiar with Custom Robots. This isn't a new thing. They have been making 3P Non-transformable Revoltech style/scale figures for over a year. If you like the official TF revoltechs produced a few years ago, then you'll love these. If you are crazy about transformations and scale charts, then you should stay far far away.
I personally love the hell out of these guys and will buy any '84-'86 figure they produce.
However, anyone that compares these to an action master is missing the point. These are as much like action masters as MPs are to G1 bricks. The only trait they share with AMs is the fact that they don't transform. I simply don't care, as nothing I own spends a single minute in alt-mode, but these Revo bots are spectacular.

Well, I love the RTS Tracks figure, but I do love me some Tracks, so if there was going to be a new Classics-styled figure, oh boy I'd be excited. Oh boy, that's a run-on sentence.
Too bad if this doesn't transform.
Ellamin
yeah, I was talking about the design, not this specific figure, the design is well proportioned enough to be transformable.
Avon
Ha!

AW MAN! I saw the thumbnail, and I thought it was MP Tracks. Looks nice, though. (Damn).
MegaMoonMan
Cool, thanks. Because that's EXACTLY what I do. Every time.
DogFriedRice
I'm saying only 20% (if even that) of transforming robots available are of the MP type. Yes, they are nice (and I also collect them) but there's a hell of a lot of great robots that aren't MP.
Anyway, I'll let you get on with jumping on every reveal and being disappointed when it's not MP.

I don't think so Hound is already in prototype form.
daimchoc
Tracks will come out after Hound.
