Via Mech Fans Toys Weibo we have our first look at the gray prototype of their Chivalrouser (G1 Chromedome) Prototype.
This another new release for the popular Legends scaled market. Mech Fans Toys is bringing us a very detailed G1 Chromedome. The image shows us the robot mode (which includes 2 guns) and the alt mode which looks very cartoon-accurate for a figure of this size. While it is not shown, we should expect a Headmaster gimmick too.
We still don’t have price or release at the moment, but you can click on the bar to check out the promotional image after the jump. After that, you can chime in your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

The little movie figures have been great. I have Mohawk and the microscope dude, and have been meaning to pick up Wheelie but find him a little expensive at $30+ for what he is.
ph4zed
Oh yeah this stuff doesn't exist in my head lol
lilcarus
they did the lambos already. but they have their v2 set that is basically ninja-fied. but their sunstreaker actually looks pretty good since he doesn't have all that shit hanging off his hip and back like the other bots do.
**also, i absolutely hate anything legend related Wu produces. some of his little bots are ok. but when he tries to do the other stuff you can really see that he is way out of his league.
ph4zed
That dr. wu arcee was ugh… Have they put out any non-sub-legends figs since her? I'm a fan of their normal microbots, so imo, they should stay in their lane lol
Didn't IF already do the lambros? I thought they were some of the super early ones released.
lilcarus
oh, i don't know about that one. i feel like since DR.WU is involved on that side of MFT that bot will be released. i am pretty sure he had a hand in designing it because it looks like one of his half assed creations.
with that said i would still wait for NA,MS or the IF bot personally.
ph4zed
FWIW that sunstreaker may never materialize, and their sideswipe had shoulder joints that would snap if you looked at it wrong. Wait for magic square or newage

So, being extremely late to the game, I saw they made a Sideswipe. So, I had to get that. I see a preorder for a Sunstreaker on ShowZ but, it's sold out. Any ideas if it is still coming? I gotta have both the twins.
lilcarus
yeah, but MFT be doing silly MFT things since the beginning.
it really doesn't matter if there was a random disappearance or if things are moving along like normal.
i think black shadow took a really long time to be released. if i remember correctly
magicube
Magnificus has been listed for preorder for years at this point. It was announced prior to MFT’s temporary disappearance. I wouldn’t say there is any guarantee we still get it or their other previously announced (around that time) repaints.

TFsource (Though I'd never shop there lol) has the Preorder date listed as Jan, wondered if it got held back for any reason.
Destron1
Saw some stores have it as Q1 2024.
RameezTheElite
Any idea when the black Preceptor is dropping? Will it also come with a Faceplate alt headsculpt?

I don't dislike the colours and I guess one can always see them as "Off Camera" Seekers.
But it does seem a strange choice when they could have made Nacelle, Red Wing or the like.
Shattered Glass would be logical to do as then they could use making those to build up to doing SG Dinobots too.
But they may be thinking of a specific Market for these where Evangelion is popular… one has to wonder what the thinking is though behind this colour choice at this time.
Did they make Magnificus yet for example ? They also didn't do Alternators Rollbar yet either (Or Trakker Hound or camo Hound) those would be other options…. So would Microchange Blaster or Microchange Megatron.
If I am being honest the other Overscale Legends Zeeker mould is nicer. Heck the KO overscale Iron Factory one in other colours would be delightful and much much more welcome too.
magicube
I actually think the color schemes are really cool and I'm all for more Evangelion homages but using these molds is a baffling choice.
I still believe that MFT is in a zombie state but this atleast signals that they are willing to do new repaints outside of variations of their originals (transparent,metallic,battle damaged). I'm hoping they still follow up with their SG Blaster and Perceptor, two repaints of well received figures.
RKillian
And here I'd like for them to deliver that yellow Sideswipe.
itMFtis
Can't get onboard with these. The molds are pretty dated now, especially the way one hand sits in alt mode beneath the jet.
UltraMagnusLRLL
Evangelion was transcendental. Tho I would preferred they do the regular Seekers or the Datsun Bros(or even Reflector?) in this Deco, I DIG IT!
…Probably won't buy them, due to limited space. But I do like the thought of these being secondary mechs that they use to get to the EVA Units if they had to be stored in remote locations or something. Maybe these are the emergency escape ships that could be used in the event the that EVAs get too damaged… I dunno, lots of possibilities. I loved that Show/Movies/Concept.
GrimLocke
It’s worth watching once, but Bones did it better with Rahxephon, Eureka Seven, and Bounen no Xam’d.
Warpshard
Ahhh Evangelion, my eternal blind spot when it comes to deco references.
