[karamazov80]

I bet that Unicron would look nice displayed with some WST Transformers.

Bring on IGear G1 Autobots Sideswipe and Sunstreaker!!!

more Autobots!!! been waiting for cartoon accurate Tformers of G1

Not sure if we'll see these for a while...

They probably want to capitalize on the holes in collectors' Autobot and Decepticon ranks. There's already a pretty cartoon accurate Sunstreaker and Sideswipe available in the Classics/Henkei lines. Not perfect (the alt modes are more contemporary), but close enough for most.

There are a lot of Transformers to chose from that don't have Classics or MP versions (or ones "good enough") out there that would be more likely choices - Insecticons, Soundwave, any of the Minibots, the rest of the Dinobots, etc.

But who knows? I'd buy more accurate versions of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, but in the meantime I'm happy to track down the Henkei versions.

Yes. Check picture 4 in the link in my last post.

Yeah, that's where I saw it.

Robot mode looks great - alt looks a bit too "toy-like" (i.e. dimensions are wrong). Cool, though.

The Seekers/Grimlock scale is pretty good, but Rodimus is in a scale of his own for whatever reason

Rodimus doesn't look TOO out of place there. A bit tall, but not terribly so...

Warpath and Wheeljack are shipping in the same cases with Kup, thundercracker, and Scourge. as long as you see kup and scourge, your area is still getting them. as they're new, they're still selling out fast.

My advice is to find out when your local stores get restock, and be there that same day, as early as you can. or atleast approximately when they unpack them. or just wait a few months.

as for RTS grapple, bite the bullet. RTS is no longer shipping to stores.

So, finally got a chance to look at Ebay, and the prices aren't really all that different from the United version online...

Maybe at this point it's just easier to get the United Grapple?

its his huge melon that really shows how out of scale he is. he's WAAAY to big. he should be, at most 3/4th that size to actually be "in-scale" in bot mode. Even so, scale and transformers usualy don't mix. esp where hastak is concerned.

also, finally found wreck-gar for 6$ at TJ max. yay.

also, boo, broke the back-peg on perceptor. got to figure out a fix now.

Does anyone know when Unicron will be available for PO on Amazon?

 

[lerath666]

August I believe.

I hope he does, and TRU is where I got these. Didn't have any of the exclusives though, hope I find em eventually though.

from the botcon hasbro panel q&A apparently.

>Q: Arcee, if she is in Prime will she not be in Generations in Classics style? Articulated human sidekicks? A: Will take humans under consideration. Arcee- something cool for the end of the year. Can't announce it now. Wait and see.

as close to a "yes, she's still comming" as we'r e gonna get.

Here's hoping it'sa Carcee.

 

[kaponokeona]

I was wondering since the Masterpiece Prime Convoy and 08 Grimlock are being reissued, could we expect the 08x King Grimlock to also be reissued and if so when could we expect it to come out?

Jolt isn't in TF3.

DPrime,
If iGear make more cartoon accurate versions of characters that already have a decent official release I'd still replace the CHUG versions in my collection like a shot.

It looks like the Wreckers are in their immediate future plans so we may not see them for a while but when you consider the repaint potential with the likes of Prowl, Bluestreak & Smokescreen then I don't think it's out of the realms of possibility that they could be made.

 

[CREG Customs]

Any rumblings about a DOTM Leader Megs down the line?

 

[bcm77]

iGear reveal plans for more Minibots,

Top row,

Seaspray ( obviously ), Beachcomber, Brawn & Wheelie

Bottom row,

Huffer ( obviously ), Pipes, Powerglide & Cosmos

Can't wait to see protos of the others!

Oh, certainly not out of the realm of possibility. iGear's got me believing anything's possible! Still, seems like, for now, they're filling niches - Arcee, in-scale Prime, "classics" Minibots.

WOW! This is amazing!

The way they're going iGear will either wake the sleeping giant that is Has/Tak's legal department and it'll all go to hell or they'll make the best G1 themed line ever.....hopefully it'll be the latter.

Unlike the Classics they're staying as close to the G1 cartoon aesthetic & scale as possible as well as mixing in elements of the IDW art and if the first 4 new molds live up to the promise of the protos they'll be the best toys each character has ever got.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I'm not too worried about Has/Tak legalities. The way I see it, they let all these 3rd party companies set up booths in their own convention, so as long as no trademarked names or logos appear, they'll let us "adult collectors" enjoy these pieces
