Third party company Keith’s Fantasy Club, also known as KFC, have revealed via their Facebook account the color renders of their new CST-14 Rhinohorn 2.0 and CST-15 Ironpaw 2.0.
These figures are updated molds of KFC’s previous take on G1 Cassettebots Ramhorn and Steeljaw for the Masterpiece scale. Both figures show a new cartoon-accurate design. According to the information shared both are planned for the first quarter of 2022.

I'm gonna be getting rid of DS Ramhorn, if that interests you.

I got Pitch & Motif in the mail yesterday and I'm very happy with them – so much so that I went ahead and snagged Tempo on eBay. I'm also in the boat of not caring if they fit the BoomBox Bros; I'd like them to have some good articulation and not too compromised in bot mode. After all, if both Blaster and Soundwave can mass-shift down from massive bot to boombox/walkman size, then no reason the tapes can't shift as well. But I didn't realize MMC hadn't actually ever released their Ramhorn, so I'm waffling on whether to get KFC's as a placeholder for the (eventual, I hope) release. Guess that means I'll need to snag Steeljaw too. Hmm.

I figure at this point I have literally dozens of cassettes that fit in Blaster and Soundwave if I need that in my display, I don't need MMC to compromise other areas to repeat that gimmick yet again.

You should contact your seller for a replacement part.

I have both, and for this scale, they are excellent. I also agree the yellow in SJ is a bit off though.
But, I have moved on from this scale and am now fully invested in swapping out all of my cassetbots for the MMC scaled ones. Yes, they don't fit in Blaster or Soundwave, but they pose and present cleaner IMO.

Yeah, all tapes fit in DS Blaster. Only FT's Blaster and Soundwave have slightly smaller tape doors.

I bought the SJ and he seemed fine to me quality wise. Color seems off, as the pictures posted above your comment here in Sept, which I didn't like. As far as fit in any Blasters, I couldn't help there to confirm personally. All my stuff is in storage but I thought I saw a post in the Deformation Blaster thread that showed XTB/KFC's cassette fitting and they may have mentioned the FT one too with pictures. Don't quote me though.

How is the overall quality on these versions? Are they compatible with DS Blaster and FT Blaster meaning do they fit in the tep deck?

So, I've just received my Rhinohorn and during the first transformation (which was a bit stiff) the plastic around one of the pin hinges snapped.
I'm trying to glue it and see if it can be fixed, and the peg will mean it can stay in Rhino mode regardless, but wondering if anyone else had this issue?

Anyone else's ironpaw 2.0 turn lime coloured under certain light?

Hard to see in pictures but it blew my sons mind moving between two rooms and the figure turning from lime to yellow lolView attachment 30097176

Yeah, I think they all scale pretty well together and Sword Dancer is just a net little set in and of themselves. Definitely an improvement over their Squawkbox.
The Crazy Collector
Ah, got it. Thank you! I honestly thought Sword Dancer was smaller than that, but he scales well with others. Might have to give him another look.

Forgive me, but what version of Slamdance is that?
And to keep it on topic, got my Ironpaw and Rhinohorn the other day. Only had time to mess with Ironpaw so far and I like him, but wish the yellow as better. The yellow they went with is kind of a "caution" yellow, but (IMHO) he should be more of a vibrant yellow, kinda like Bumblebee…

just got in my 2 a couple days ago, haven't even had time to inspect yet. Wonder if Keith will do the Evil energon ramhorn 2.0 & other variants like they used to or no

RIGHT?! They are perfect together! Tapes don't fit but meh… I only care about the bot modes.

And this convinced me to pull the trigger. These scale so well with CHUG blaster, rewind, and eject that it’s ridiculous. Check 2 more boxes off the list!
you know my name
That helps a lot! Thanks!

I don't have the KFC tapes, but here is someone else's comparison of them with the FT counterparts. KFC on left, FT on the right.
