Third Party company Cang Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared images of the color prototype of their CT-Chiyou-03 Firmament (G1 Divebomb).
This new take on the G1 Predacons brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still recognizable as the classic G1 characters. Firmament features a wide range of articulation and many sculpted details in both modes, with a really impressive pair of poseable wings. To top it all, we have a look at the combiner mode as the right arm of Thunderking/Predaking. This mold is planned for the Masterpiece scale, so we should expect a big combiner.
Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and don’t forget that you can already find pre-orders for Cang Toys CT-Chiyou-01 Ferocious/Rampage and CT-Chiyou-02 Landbull/Tantrum via our sponsors links below. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Wondering if the opening was taken of Aslan from one of the 3 Narnia movies…

I don't own any, but I was just agreeing with a good friend of mine about what he said. And I think they're talking about the CrazyDevy G1 Predaking head..

What are the crazy Devy heads you Guys are talking about?
TheLastPrime2893
I'm right up there with you, mate. Definitely doesn't fit with Cang's design..

Hmmm the G1 head don't fit that body imo. It looks too bland.
Rodann
Yeah, I definitely prefer the CrazyDevy head to the Cang head. I wasn’t a fan of the Jinbao heads either, so my Jinbaos have the CrazyDevy head as well.
I just need to repaint it a little.
I figured out another thing that was bothering me about Cang’s take on it- there’s too much of a Volcanicus vibe with the horns. And Shuraking teeth. Also a couple subtle similarities, but mostly the forehead horns.
Anybody else have trouble opening his mouth, anyway? With the lion tail assembly directly behind his head, you can’t even move the head to get clearance enough to open the mouth.

I agree. Cang missed an excellent opportunity

If you want a headmaster, get FT Fortress Maximus.
TheLastPrime2893
Clever way of putting that

Wouldn’t have those issues if he were . . . and hear me out, if he were a headmaster.
Just sayin.
TheLastPrime2893
It's interesting on how many positives are missed with the combined mode head..

Thanks go to @Rodann for the "heads" up on the head removal. I thought it would be much more complicated

Still hoping we get an alternate head sculpt at some point. Preferably something a bit more g1ish like that one, but at the very least, give us a larger version of the original. One of the weak points of this set (for me anyway) is how small the combined mode head is.
Zawicki
Yeah, the teeth are a bad look.
Mod looks great though!
Zentropy
Looks good!
I don’t like the toothy mouth, either (it reminds me of the Insecticon Bombshock on TF Prime).

Had to dremel out a lot of material from the jinbao head but doesn't look bad imo. It'll work until I modify the CT head with a face mask. The fang mouth isn't doing it for meView attachment 29607779 View attachment 29607780
