>>8672397Not the case. The original renders they showed off for Tarn way the fuck back when the line was teased was the same transformation gimmick with different details, as it appeared to be Sark designed. Him and the entire DJD and honestly the Reformatted line got redesigned to be more conservative after Sark left.
>>8672420Figure has a severe ab crunch which fixes almost all of the issues you just said. This is also an insanely early render and not at all what we actually got. I skipped it myself because who fucking cares about Roller, but yeah. The reason Roller was a remould of Tarn to begin with is he was (99.9% guaranteed) to be Tarn in the past.
