Via Reddit user u/yinfandi, we have images of the new Mu Model Transformers 3D Metal Puzzle IDW Tarn.
These officially licensed Transformers metal models are great 3D laser cut models that are assembled from metal sheets. They use a simple slot and tab design so no glue is required, just bend the metal tabs where instructed and attach pieces together. Mu Model had already released some Movie and G1 characters before, and now they give us a nice surprise with IDW Tarn, the ruthless leader of the Decepticon Justice Division.
According to the information shared, this new model should be out this month. You can check out the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards.

Gave a quick look at toy dojo, captured prey, and the chosen prime and they are out of stock as well, however; the chosen prime site has a waiting list that you can be put on. Just go there and type in "Kultur" in the search. Hope that helps!

Can't really help you there, maybe there is a website selling him out there but not sure what the name of course would be,wishing luck
soundwave144
yer welcome! And good luck! He is worth it!!
And thank you @mx-01 archon for bringing up the actual name of him… Totally slipped my mind, lolz

Edit: I need these two to scale together for a fan film I’m making if your wondering
mn_128875
Thx but instead do u know if there is a posable legend class Optimus prime that will fit with the legends tarn

Bigger, by about a head. MMC's Tarn is closer to the old "Ultra" size class than a true Voyager.
The figure you're looking for is called "Kultur", by the way. Good luck on your search. He's currently sold out at most of the major sites (including MMC's own Planet Steel Express storefront), but there's probably some smaller retailers or eBay where you might be able to find him still.

Is it the size of siege prime?
Edit: never mind but do u know where to find it though because I looked through bbts and couldn’t and tfsource is out of stock and I really don’t trust eBay
mn_128875
But do you know where to find it though because I tried looking at bbts and couldn’t find it and I don’t really trust eBay
mn_128875
Thanks I’ll try finding it

So apparently I was off on the price… Seems like its gonna be closer to 50 bucks. BUT I would pay that if it really is 9 inches tall.
Voyager Tarn? MMC is about that size and superfrickin cool! Def one of my favorite toys that I own
User_124141
No, there is only Flame Toys, and this if not including 3rd Party, in my opinion I would choose Kultur.

Thanks for the info do u know if there is voyager sized tarn figure out there
Cosmoglide
ok, at that size, 50 doesn't sound outrageous, if I'm being honest

I don’t understand your point here? You claim John doesn’t know who Rung is, so there’s never be a Tarn toy, but we factually are getting a Rung toy, so what relevancy does that actually have? I feel like I’m missing what you’re trying to get across.
Either way I think an official Tarn toy is an inevitability at this point. Yes he was vicious in the comics, but not anymore then Overlord was in his first English appearance and he still got a toy. Tarn ultimately just transforms into a big Cybertronian tank, which is pretty standard for a Transformer. Nobody’s parents are gonna flip out because in a comic not aimed at their kids the big tank robot murdered some people, just like they don’t freak out about toys of the Joker.
The other DJD members (except potentially a Battlemaster Vos) have no chance of being made though. Tarn however, given his obvious popularity with collectors, is pretty much a sure thing.

Why in the holy shit farm does Hasbro keep licensing this character to 3rd party companies instead of giving him to us in transformable mainline offerings? Obviously the demand is there if they keep doing this, but for God’s sake, let me be able to walk into a store and buy a darn Tarn!
A DARNTARN!

Watch me attempt to build this and the end result looks like hot garbage. The removable mask is cool tho. I wish his giant cannon would have been an attachment for the MMC Tarn
