ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[soundwave]

A 5-pack would be nice as it would be one payment and done!

Yeah but I expect it won't be cheap

I'm so excited that it might happen & I'll finally have a Swoop

Yeah, it's one of those situations where Takara can charge what they like because the demand for reissued Dinobots will be high even though there's been high quality KO's in recent years.

I got an e-mail from iGear this morning which says that Brawn & Cosmos are shipping by the end of the month and there was a link to the box art which is the same style as Huffer & Seaspray.

I've not ordered Cosmos as he's too Classics-verse in aesthetic for my display but I'm really looking forward to Brawn who was one of my favorite G1 Minibots.

EDIT
Following on from their impressive debut release ( Hegemon ) Toyworld are doing their take on the G1 Throttlebot Rollbar,

$60 is pretty reasonable as it's larger in robot mode than the FP Insecticons and the alt mode looks very clean in terms of design....I'll be ordering one soon.

Quick question about the new MP Thundercracker--is the head compatible with the older MP seekers? They look roughly the same size, and the new head is way better, so I'm wondering if I could pick up 3 of them and switch out heads with my U.S. MP Starscream and Skywarp figures.

I believe the new MP Tcrackers head/neck peg hole is a tad larger than the old seeker mold. However you could use some fingernail polish to make the old seeker peg fit the new head better.

 

[karamazov80]

Thanks. Do you know if he can transform with that head attached, or if it has to be removed to be transformed?

Ok, so scaling questions regarding Prime figures:

For the most accurate TV scale, what should I be looking at:

Voyager Optimus and Bulkhead, Deluxe for all of the other Autobots?

Did they ever make a first edition Voyager Megatron?

Thanks for the assist!

for scale? Voyager bulkhead, weaponizer prime, and deluxe for the rest of the bots.

Yeah, but that Weaponizer Prime is not nearly as accurate as the FE version.

Even though it's smaller, it's larger than any of the other Autobots, including Bulkhead, so it works visually. I'd try tracking that one down. I believe they'll be showing up in US stores at some point in the near-ish future?

No FE Voyager Megatron. Just RiD.

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

So:

first edition Optimus
Voyager bulkhead
deluxe arcee, bumblebee, etc.

Thanks for the help folks.

Yeah, in case anyone hasn't already said it, go for the PRiD version of Arcee rather than the FE. A bit more accurate, and smaller (also more accurate).

Go FE for BB and Cliff though.

 

[DPrime]

for those that enjoy TF Prime and have the FE Arcee figure, Dr. Wu is coming out with her blasters. can't wait to order mine

Have you bought from Dr. Wu before?

I got the Wheeljack headsculpt and it SUCKED. They use model kit plastic - the screw went right through mine.

I'd try going for First Edition Bulkhead, much nicer toy and only slightly bigger then the RID voyager.

 

[Furyan]

Thanks. Do you know if he can transform with that head attached, or if it has to be removed to be transformed?

Hmmm thats a good question Im not sure. Well I found out about the mp3/mp11 head swap over a tfw2005 so maybe you could poke around there some to find out. If I stumble across anything I post it here

 

[Spiderwebb13]

Definitely FE much much better.

Yea I heard about the Wheeljack problem thats why I didnt buy the open mouth piece Optimus head. but it seems the Optimus blasters/swords are ok. No screws required for those or this piece so here's hoping

Definitely FE much much better.

Are we ever going to get a Masterpiece Galvatron? I think he's due for a faithful figure, the crappy Universe one we got a few years ago isn't going to cut it.

That's the piece I'm waiting for the most. You would think with Hot Rod/Rodimus, Galvatron would be a no-brainer.

Some day.............

 

[Gipetto0812]

I'd love a masterpiece Galvatron! Hopefully he's previewed sooner than later but Takara has their hands full right now with 3asterpiece figures already coming

 

[Furyan]

Wasnt it revealed recently by an insider that Galvatron was being made and soonish?

 

[Rock83]

I know it might be difficult to do since it transforms into a gun and all,but i really want a new and improved MP Megatron.
A new Ultra Magnus would be nice too.Red,white and blue version this time.

Yup

Megatron V2 is already confirmed by the same insider. he's hinted VERY solidly that it's a g1 megatron, and it shares some of the transformation that the recent 3rd party Hegemon uses.

Ultra magnus, with trailer armor was confirmed about a month after the release of MP-10

Unless Japan's gun laws have changed there'll be no problem with Takara making a new Megatron that turns into a gun at all, it just won't be released at retail in the US or Europe.
