Third Party shop MakeToys has updated the product page for MT-04 Mobine with colored images of the custom that will arrive after MT-03 Giant. A tribute to the now-defunct Dreamwave Productions' The Fallen character (then used in-name-only in Transformers Revenge of The Fallen) will use the idea of combining two figures together to form a super bot. Each of the figures will also have their own vehicle and robot modes. There is not a release date except for sometime this year and a price has not yet been set.
