So it's an official licensed product from Sentinel. Comes with two heads based on the Headmasters anime and G1 S4/Rebirth plus a shield and rifle. No price or release timeframe atm. Also not the only expensive TF product at this WF. Check out this non-transforming 'Ultimetal' Optimus from Art Storm/Action Toys. It's got diecast, electronics, mouthing mouth plate and all the standard Optimus accesories, rifle, Matrix, energy axe. 440mm(17.3 inches) tall, not FM height but still quite large. There's also the CM's Corp Excel suit that Daniel and Spike wore in the movie but eh eh eh. Peep the link if you're interested. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/cms-corporation-brave-gokin-excel-suit-178115/

therealjon_ posted:Is it supposed to be based off the animated Starscream? Because its dead on to the head we got with that a few years back. It's based off of a Guido Guidi design used in the pre-All Hail Megatron IDW comics, like that recent Legends figure of him. http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=42982 I think the head is just jacked up and not a reference

Gammatron 64 posted:I was just thinking about him recently too, as he was supposed to be released in September initially. Still waiting on that Weirdwolf, too. GOD he looks loving sweet. From what I've heard, the first lot wasn't up to snuff and had problems with parts being too tght and problems with some parts not being put on correctly so they asked the stores that had placed smaller orders if they were willing to take the 'best' ones of the lot while they tried to get things in order. Same deal with the their Mobine add-on set.

The GO combiners are really sad. They're just so ugly and poorly proportioned in most every mode. The only combined mode I like for the first set is binning the Blue Generic Anime toy Police car and sticking Yellow terrible looking Jet on top of Red whatever kind of truck it's supposed to be. Still doesn't look very good but it actually comes close to having decent looking proportions combined like that.

The Taint Reaper posted:They absolutely ruin whatever Generations shelf they're on because they both look so drastically different than any of the other toys. But they're both great figures. Rhinox is probably the best engineered voyager in the entire line. The way he hides his robot mode and everything is really well done. New Stanglehold, New Stanglehold! Bizare garishly clad Rhino on the outside, prowrestler Burt Reynolds robot on the inside.

The comics included with the majority of figures currently available were one-shots created to be both sold alone and then later included with a figure but starting with the most recent wave the figure's comics are from the current two ongoing series

Yeah judging from the time of release it's likely a Tokyo Toy Show exclusive so something based off the Diaclone version that spawned Blue Bluestreak seems a safe and easy bet. Though there's always toy accurate colours or maybe a version inspired by the original diaclone concept art but that's a long shot.

Keldroc posted:You canceled your preorder for them or Mech Ideas totally canceled the products? They canceled them after only having pre-orders open for one day, at one store, where it was exclusive to but no one ever mentioned that, about 5 hours after someone found 'better than the promo pictures' pictures on the designers facebook. The TFW thread about them is real dumb atm(suprise!)

Well that Metroplex sure does fix up two of my three problems I had with the Generations one. The look of it in all of it's modes, especially the carrier(those launch catapults!), is an improvement and it's small enough that I can actually put it on display. Too bad for Maketoys my third problem was price.

Well there is an upcoming Generations Leader sized Megatron coming out with or a bit after Leader Jetfire, odds are good it'll be the IDW version since Hasbro would have asked IDW to use the new design in all the post Dark Cybertron promo art, covers and what not if he was getting a new look

Keldroc posted:How exactly do we know Citizen Stack costs less than MP Magnus at this point? Yeah, the preorder prices that are up for Magnus are high, but those are placeholders. If Magnus costs as much as Takara's MP-10 did at release then it should be the same price or higher as Stack depending on where you shop. IMO, Magnus will likely cost higher than MP10 due to increases in costs of manufacture and a more complex trailer/armour so it should be costlier than Stack.
