Newage Toys, via their Weibo account, have revealed images of the color prototype of their new Newage H26 Vanishing Point (Legends Scale G1 Cliffjumper).
As many of us should have imagined, this is a very smart retool and redeco of Newage H25 Herbie (Legends Scale G1 Bumblebee). This mold features a nice amount of remolded pieces to bring us a cartoon-accurate Cliffjumper in both modes giving him his own personality for display. Accessories include Cliffjumper’s bazooka and water skis. Newage has confirmed that Vanishing Point and Herbie will be sold as a two-pack. Each figure will stand just 4.5 cm in robot mode.
We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Now you can click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Board!

There really is a lot going on with Herbie. Given its size and intricate engineering he really is a wonder. I can forgive most of the unsightly bits.

Newage paired Brawn and Outback. I was fine with that as I have memories of Outback from issue 100 of the UK comic, but some people grumbled at the time.

Well this is absolutely brilliant.
Looks like this mold wears green best.
Knowing NA, if they did this they'd probably include stinger weapons.

I feel like a dumb ass. I forgot about those guys.

They could always steal a play from MMC and bundle crap you don't want with what you do. Though, to be honest I tend to see Newage as being better than that.

Well, not counting Bumblebee repaints/ retools, I think we could also get a Gears and Swerve pack and a Windcharger and Tailgate pack

I assume the next 2 pack of mini bots will be Huffer and Pipes. Those are probably the last set that can be made into a 2 pack.

Been meaning to finish this for a while:

The faux chest on this guy (along with its gaps and hinges) is what kills it for me. I'm sticking with my original Flipper for now, or maybe "upgrade" him to MS at some point.

What a terrible looking molecule.

idk about this one guys… the gaps between atoms are looking kinda iffy…

The crotch-crunch panel is a real eyesore as well. I really wish they had done away with that.

Thank you for the feedback. I absolutely agree, gap in the chest doesn't look good, but probably it has its reason due to transformation.

there's an easy fix.. scale the photo down to 6cm, take two steps back from your screen… voila, can't see any of that stuff

What’s killing me is the gap in the chest. love him but,…oof.

Any way to guess at how the color changes made to the bot mode affect the car mode?
