Via their Weibo account, third party company Rising Force is sharing images of the gray prototypes of their take on G1 Dragstrip And Wildrider.
It’s been a while since we had heard from Rising Force. They first showed a prototype of G1 Motormaster, and they entered as a new alternative for a Masterpiece scaled Menasor. We finally have a clear look at two of their Stunticons: Dragstrip And Wildrider. The images reveal very nice molds, with a cartoon-accurate approach in both modes. They are planned to go with the Masterpiece scale, and one comparison shot next to MP Prowl shows that the robot modes are a bit taller than a Prowl, and almost the same size in car mode.
There’s still no concrete information on the release date or price of these news 3P Stunticons, but we are glad you have one more alternative to choose when looking for Masterpiece Stunticons for your collection.

I'm sure as soon as he has an update he will post it here.

Just out of curiosity, is this still happening?

I’m more concerned about how strong the joints will be on RF.

This elbow gap of DX9's looks awkward. I'm sure RFs will be better

Genuinely serious @risingforce I will buy the pink version after this releases.

Glad these are still moving along. I already bought the TFM set in the meantime, but I'm sure I could be swayed to double up if the finals look good…

That MMC Sphinx G2 exclusive has some competition now! Lol
Maximus Danz
Umm, can I have these colors?

Wow, I\'m impressed… I\'m not a 3p collector, aside from Fansproject core Retro-Future, but these guys look amazballs.. Idk, maybe I could get behind these at some point? Very nice indeed.

I recently got Newage Harry, Capoeira and Cyclops. Really good stuff and thank Unicron we finally have a good Legends Datsun

I have to say I agree on the legends stuff mft, HS and newage stuff has been great got them for my boys when they asked for their own transformers.

My main passion as far as 3P goes is Legends. Perhaps the most unfilled gaps of any scale still. IF has rarely let me down, so I'm happy to keep giving them money.
Main reason I haven't bitten the bullet on MP combiners is space. 2nd big reason is most haven't impressed me as far as aesthetics or stability or QC. Roadking is tempting and may bring me over to the dark side though.

"They" are likely the same people who cry "the sky is falling" whenever an egregious KO shop gets shut down by local police that third party is going to dry up any day. And yet, here we are.

Wow, seems some collectors are only gonna have room for Menasor, Predaking, Briticus, and Devastator! Now THIS is a Combiner War!
Pretty good, simplified look. Additionally they kept the bot and car mode scales intact. Gotta see the finished product though, whenever one of these companies decide to finish one….

That this got double-posted made me chuckle.

And people thought 3rd party is dying. If we get the same combiner 4 times within a year or 2, I'd say its pretty freaking alive

Can never have too many Stunticons. Perish the very thought!!
MrUniqZ
If this scales shorter in gestalt mode I’m interested. I prefer 18inch combiners.

Oh geez talk about overkill. Already getting dx9 and xtransbot menasor. Maybe fanstoys too. Too much of a good thing. Companies should go work on defensor or computron or seacons. Get an updated version of those.
