    How do you guys get to preorder the Alternity Prime? I just tried on Amazon.jp, but it says it can't ship to my address in California. Is there any other place to get it?

    edit: nvm, just found a place called etoysjapan.com, but I never heard about them before...

    Uhm first off, the tank is Slammer, not Scamper. Scamper was the black car, Slammer is the tank, and Sixgun is Metroplex's weapons/tower-thing combined. I hope admin fixes the main page to fix the typo. Anyways, I always displayed the turret on Metroplex's black launcher tab. It adds a rather believable roof turret. As for the black guns he looks badass with one in the right arm tower and the other attached into the hole on the side of the heliport.

    I'll post some pics later on if anyone cares to see em.

    I hope they bothered to fix all of Metroplex's design issues before fiddling around and adding new bits...

    Waist joint, of course. The launcher in his chest is notoriously fragile too. The peg on his back can easily break through and come out. The catch retractable shoulder antenna wears out. Scamper's arms break both at the peg on the arms and in the hole on the body.

    Never noticed these, er, flaws on my original Metroplex. Anyway, new bits aren't enough to make me want the re-issue. My Slammer doesn't need to combine.

    These MP-7 Pictures have been reported on this site twice already (once when Ironhide & Galvatron pictures first went up and again a day or two later). :banghead:

    Cool feature on Encore Metroplex. My G1 version is in decent shape so I don't see the need to buy the Enbcore just for the peg on Slammer though.

    Alternity Convoy does look very nice. Super detailed...but unless it's released stateside or I find it online for dirt cheap, I'm passing.

    Thundercracker looks great, a definite buy for me.

    Man, I want MP-7 and the GT-R so badly after seeing these pics. Thundcracker was a given anyway but the GT-R...I wasn't sure. Now I am. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine...
