That’s the original prototype that me and @Treehopper2 threw together on the floor of my shop.

This one is retired it lives in my closet most of the time I’ll get it out every once in a while and check it out.
I’ve spent many hours in this thing testing and it still looks great.
I saw another post on a prototype saddle so I thought I would show the prototype of the transformer.
The transformer has grown in size which is a good thing from this one but you can see how close it was in design from the start.
This little thing changed saddles from the moment it came together.
I’ve had almost every saddle out there and I can’t find anything better for doing everything.

This thing is amazing! JC and his team did awesome work; it's super well thought out, stitching is immaculate, very adjustable, quiet, and nice to look at which is always a plus. My favorite thing so far is how easy it is to adjust the rope bridge, running the end through the D-ring in genius. Can't wait to get some more practice climbs in and shoot out of it in the next few weeks leading up to the season.

I'm loving mine!
 
I finally pulled the trigger on one over the weekend. I've been hunting out of a Mantis for the last 2.5 years or so.
Can't wait to get it! I decided on bones camo, and am super excited!
 
The bones camo is sleek. It's quiet and looks good with the black webbing. On the original overwatch I think other colors looked best, but I like bones much more on the newer color scheme.

Right on, man! you're going to love it. It's like a Lazy Boy recliner compared to the Mantis. I used my buddy's Mantis before buying a saddle and it was like a Speedo compared to the Transformer. I'm 6-1, 230 and I'm so glad I got this saddle. What's the lead time on them now?
 
I was order#180 placed on 8/9 and I received mine last week on Weds 9/8.

Did a couple of practice climbs/rappels and shooting from my ros at height...ME LIKES!!!
 
I made a small change with my leg straps that I thought some others might want to try. I had an early edition of the transformer with the permanent leg straps and was having an issue with metal on metal noise with the d rings while climbing. Jamie was kind enough to upgrade me to a new version a couple months ago with the removable/adjustable leg loops. Worked much better, but I decided to take them off and just thread webbing through the triglides directly. Now they are still adjustable with the top triglides and no more chance of metal on metal. I am really liking it. Yes, I have to step through the loops to put the saddle on and I know some of you can't stand that, but I don't mind at all.

Either way this saddle is comfortable.
 
That's what I like about the transformer. You can take the leg straps off and then put them back on or just use triglides. I have three saddles two without leg straps and one with.
