Third party company X-Transbots, via their Facebook account, have just uploaded the first images of the gray prototype of their MX-20 Zeusaurus (Masterpiece Scale Deathsaurus).
This is a very impressive take on Star Saber’s eternal enemy as seen in the G1 Japan Transformers Victory cartoon. The figure will include a sword, 2 functional Breast Animals (Tigerbreast and Eaglebreast), and 7 interchangeable faces. This figure will stand 37 cm / 14.57 inches tall and it’s planned for the Masterpiece scale. We have several shots of this figure which looks really great in both scale and design next to Masterpiece Star Saber, and showing off a very big dragon mode!
Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates! You can already find pre-orders for this figure via our sponsors links below. Now you can click on the bar to see all the mirrored images and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Ah thanks, I just had one of them on pre order for a year or so and while it's cheaper than this one, it keeps getting pushed back in release. If this one has good qc I might be tempted to switch
Chrisola
Sigh, there is no way this is coming with the flail and living metal cannon as a single purchase, is there?
V1 – no weapons, but has both Breastforce.
V2 – weapons, but only one or no Breastforce.
I can feel it. I can sense it.

MMCs is based on their reformatted line, so it's intended for a smaller scale.
Dodgy Dan
Hehe, it'd make my bloody year if this came out next month.
Captain Sideways
Yeah I know, I just meant that the MMC version is 13cm smaller but seems to be the one that a lot of people want. Just wondered which variation is more accurate
Ratchet2007
He is 37cm which matches MP Star Saber
Omegalock is also saying this is still scheduled for Dec 2021 and have not been told otherwise.

Omegalock says it'll be 37cm and kapow says mmc d-zef is 25cm. I am not really clued up on the series he is from but which one is more accurate in terms of height? Guessing its this one?

… Or even that other scene.

It’s worth mentioning that if KFC makes a star saber that’s actually the size of deszaras but still worked with Simba, that victory saber would actually look better.

Dunno, but I'd buy it. MP Star Saber was probably my most disappointing figure of all time.

I think that it is possible XTB may come back and do one at this point but where does that sit in their massive backlog?

who said what now?
Dodgy Dan
Yikes, had no idea the upgrades did that. Not had that trouble myself, but then again, SS isn't a figure I mess with often.
So we're stuck between a floppy mess of a figure or a possible time bomb? Nice.
lordcryotek
I can second this. I got my MP Star Saber loose and used, and the added strength of the KFC hip ratchets not only cracked his legs, but eventually led to a screw in his pelvis splitting in half which made his pelvis explode suddenly. He also yellowed right away. I think we're due for an MP Star Saber update with better articulation and PAINT instead of bare white plastic.

I'm tempted to say that Klaatu is the best transformer in my collection and I don't even like XTB. I'm more of a FansToys FanBoy.
Klaatu can hold just about any pose. He has double jointed elbows and ratchets in the hips, knees, and ankles. Klaatu is well balanced, well painted, and made of excellent materials. The transformation is smart and fun. I'd recommend Klaatu to anyone who has even a vague interest in MP transformers.

Yup, I got it! I did my research prior to making the decision. I already read the entire Star Saber thread along with the KFC Simba thread and the fix thread. I should be pretty prepared! Thanks a lot.

Be VERY CAREFUL with MP Star Saber. When making mods, screws can easily strip on you and be sure when installing springs to support limbs as you bend for knee ratchets. Plastic will hold up but these improvements are needed to make MP Star Saber stable. The knee and hip joints especially can become overly strong. Its needed for support because there is a weakness in the internal hip that cannot be EASILY modified.
TFC201482
Yup! Got it, that's what I meant by "with all the extra nooks and crannies" and "the set plus extras". Whatever I don't get for Christmas, I'll order separately! We'll see what happens, either way, I'm super excited! Haha!
Dodgy Dan
I'd strongly recommend getting KFCs joint upgrades for Starsaber as well. Mine couldn't hold a pose worth a damn without them, plus the bigger sword is a nice bonus.
