According to the information shared in the Weibo post, the transformation won’t require to remove any parts.

Via TFC Toys Weibo account we have images of the color prototype of TFC Toys S-03 Leviathan (G1 Rippersnapper).

Leviathan is part of Satan, TFC Toys take on G1 Abominus. The design is a very modern and stylized rendition of the character, similar to what TFC Toys offered with their Poseidon Combiner (Piranacon). While not cartoon-accurate, we are sure many fans will like this modern and highly stylized design of the classic G1 Terrorcon member. As we can see from the pictures, you can expect a highly articulated figure in both modes which will look great on display. We also have images of the combiner hand and the combiner left arm mode.

We still have no concrete information on price, but according to the information in the Weibo post the release date should be around early December 2020.
