Via Alucardlee on Weibo, we have some images to share of Fans Hobby’s upcoming exclusive figure “The Red Dragon”. Red Dragon is a reworked version of the group’s unlicensed take on Generation 1 Monsterbot Doublecross (or Twinferno, if you know of him from Titans Return). This reworking is based on the cancelled 3H (and resurrected by Fun Publications) exclusive Beast Wars Dragon Megatron redeco of Robots in Disguise Megatron / Car Robots Gigatron.
Obscure references aside, this is (as name suggests) a red dragon version of Fei Long, with altered wings, new accessories, a new head with alternate faceplates, and optional hand parts so that the robot mode can have hands rather than dragon heads for hands (or, one and one, if you want to go full Beast Wars Dragon Megatron). It’s also got a 300 piece limited edition production run, which will be exclusive to the 9th SGC in Shanghai this October.

No problem

Yep, you're correct @Fenrys . Although I should of just taken the time to read through this thread for clarification. The ever-reliable @daimchoc posted some pics around the time it was released clearly showing laser-etched serial numbers on inner leg. but thanks for the response anyway.
Fenrys
I don't have mine anymore, but if I recall correctly the etched number was on one of the knees (on the side)
Magna Jet Convoy
Bumping a VERY old thread with a simple request. Can anyone confirm the convention exclusive version MB-03A has its ID number laser etched somewhere on the figure? If so, could they post a pic and description where please?
Thanks in advance, MJC

Posting to give this guy some love. I never cared for Transmetal 2 Megatron, so the fact this guy isn't accurate doesn't bother me in the least.
Happy I finally bought it!

i think a has multicolored wings whereas b has orange wings (going off memory, my a wings go from yellow at the tip to orange to red, all translucent), b comes with flame effects a didnt, a comes with extra faces b didnt, b has modified wings (not entirely sure in what manner), a has a sgc convention stamp and a laser engraving for number out of 300
MasterScale
Is the difference between 'A'/SGC and 'B' the more transparent and somewhat different colors on the wings on the 'A' version?
Fenrys
thats a damn good price considering his price at release. mine is 89 of 300

Just picked up the SGC edition of Red Dragon for $65. Very happy with it. I know some people prefer the more toy accurate Megatron's, but I prefer this take.
I got number 269 of 300.

I don’t have a comparison on hand, but here he is with two of mmc’s figures which are roughly voyager. He’s got a good bit more mass than potp optimal Optimus

I'm waiting for this figure to come in from a trade. Any idea how he scales with PotP Optimal Optimus?

Ty!

If I have time later I will

Hey guys, quick favor: Could someone who owns both Red Dragon and GT Gorilla take a picture of them together so I could see how they scale? There are plenty for PE's megs and Gorilla but I couldn't find any for red dragon!

These are stellar shots. The robot mode flying one… wow!

Finally, have the money to buy this fella. I'm probably going to get B than A. I'd kill for the smug, "yeeeessss" face. But flame effects, paint job, and a better paint job are better than just paying extra for a semi-different paint job and an alternate head.
