Via Weibo user 小白哥乌拉诺斯 and BB7 TOYS Newsstand we can share for your images of the gray prototype of TFC Toys STC-02 Dominator Megatron.
This figure is based on the amazing Don Figueroa’s concept art for a G.I. Joe/Transformers Crossover Dominator Megatron. The figure is a triple changer that can convert into a tank and helicopter. It’s good to notice that robot mode features a second “super” mode and tank mode shows two different configurations. This would be a perfect companion for those who already have TFC Toys S.T. Commander (Rolling Thunder Optimus as we can see from the images.
Keep in mind that this is still an early prototype and we may see several changes in the first prototype. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Click on the bar to see the images and then share your impressions on the 2005 Board.

Too bad. I wanted the Joe dominator colors. Good thing I got this one though. May never happen

Yeah, I was waiting for the repaint. Something that would match STC-01 in any of its colors. The chrome just looked out of place to me in this line. Oh, well.

Not sure where to start with your question…
Firstly TFC already split off their production facilities into JiYi Co, a separate OEM many years ago. They've since made toys for mainly CANG, Scifigure and BFB(Nicee molds). Them doing external contract work and prioritizing them over their own isn't a recent thing. It's why their Hun Gurr has been pushed back so long.
Also there's no evidence that Jiyi Co is being employed by Touch Toys. Jiyi Co would usually help promote their projects and their employers would also mention them to ride on their reputation, but you don't see this with Touch Toys.
That said, the odds of them revisiting STC02 is slim at the moment. The TFC brand itself seem to have been reduced to a sporadic schedule, releasing only 1~2 items a year. Plus the only thing they've teased is the white deco of that Nova Prime STC01. There doesn't seem to be much demand from the fandom for more STC02 either, they are mostly nagging at them to complete their Abominus.

I am still waiting for the Cobra version myself but this thing didn't sell very well when it first came out. I think it got discounted at a number of places.

Most likely not to happen, I guess. Try getting a 2nd hand one.

At the risk of attracting the ire of my peers for posting after so long and only asking a question… with TFC's change of tack (particularly to the TouchToys brand) is it reasonably safe to assume at this point that STC-02 both won't be getting re-issued and won't be seeing a more thematically-appropriate recolour?

Robotoybase had one. Quite pricy to ship.

he's a scootch shorter than OX star convoy but quite a bit chonkier

Congrats ! I want the OG ST Commander but can't find one for a good price.
Where'd you get him from ?

My NB is an original character named Apex.
I don't have a name yet for the character this Megatron fills in my headcannon, but I'm working on it. He's a mad scientist type whose been experimenting with himself.

Can anyone tell me how tall he is in base and armored up mode? From head to toe. Thanks.

Like their prime, he’s whatever the heck your heart desires. My nuclear blast prime is currently living his life as a leprechaun.

I'm thinking of getting this guy, could one consider him a Super Megatron variant? I know it's a crossover GI Joe theme. He kinda gives me a Japanese Super Megatron vibe.

You could always add some metallic washi or foil tape if you want something less permanent.

Do some comparisons. With MP-36, for example:

Megatron can be ANY color he wants!
Thalyn
I just want something a little more thematically appropriate against the original Jungle Commander deco. I get that Megatron isn't going to be hiding, and Cobra probably wouldn't be either, but silver against a full-on camo just seems wrong.
Lester316
Still shocked they haven't released a new deco.
The Iron Grenadiers GI Joe deco is something many folks are waiting for I bet.
And if someone says it undersold then that's why.
