    Ugh I almost wish it was not. Lol

    I'm sitting here fiddling with my Mp Megatron right now, and if Prime could pull off half of what Megs does ....well, I want one.

    If the total isn't 600, you're doing something wrong.

    Im guessing there will be some kind of rocker to go there which the gun can attach you if/when we get a diaclone/toy version.

    Without exaggerating, I woke up one Monday morning to a shipment notice from A_J, and received the figure THAT EVENING. Yeah, I chalk it up to the time difference, but damn, that is service.

    Huh yeah good call. I'm not sure I expect TT to do that, since it was never even produced (and they didn't include Megatron's sword with 36+), but I imagine someone could design one for Shapeways

    They already did that for MP-10 (I believe @Destructimis Prime got her MP-10 antennae from the same builder).

    I think they are really going Diaclone for his repaint, it makes so much sense as you can pick up people who normally collect Diaclone. Diaclone trailer,toy tampos, diaclone drivers homaging the original toy ones, multiple heads, and the ability to use his blaster like a shoulder cannon. More importantly though that yellow Trailbreaker repaint would look pretty sweet with it.

    It would be super cool. I'm not full-on expecting it, though, not for the + release. I'd say more people had the original G1 toy than Battle Convoy, and the former deco would sell better.

    I'm sure someone will make awesome Battle Convoy DIACLONE stickers for the trailer. It'd be super interesting if the toy version came with Diaclone pilots, but 44's minifigures look about twice the size of the Dianauts. Still, I imagine there will be plenty of Diaclone reboot fans who would be in for the purchase.

    We'll get toy stickers and a red, blue,and green yellow spike with a chrome head:lol . As a general release hopefull with the price being the same or nearly the same , they have to do enough to make people want to buy it, I think you need more than a toy head and tampos to do that.

    Or you could simply do the easiest thing and put them on your ignore list if it bothers you that much.
    It's not like they are attacking anyone directly or indirectly.

    We are in similar boats. I wasn’t 3rd world but I’ve come to find out that most of my transformers were stolen. Parents gotta do what they think they gotta do I guess...

    I’m happy I can afford all the toys I desire now. And this new direction of toon only REALLY makes me remember those 3 different transformers VHSs I had. I love the toon style with passion as well.

    Oh I'm sure there are plenty who would agree with us but I might just wait for the KO version, they have been killing it lately. I had MP36 Megatron but traded it for a hole bunch on Iron Factory figures and settled on the KO and its fine. If they make one for 1/6th of the price (I live in Canada, he will costs us $600) then yeah. A big FU to Takara for these Rediculous Prices! Seriously, if everyone just stopped giving in and paying such crazy prices then things might actually change.
