    It just annoys me to see a yellow Lamborghini, and it not be Sunstreaker.

    Don't really care for the samurai combiner as much as I thought I would. Ah well more money saved I guess. Although if all the other Preds look as great as Gaidora does I think that money won't be staying in my wallet for long. :lol 

    Could have sworn HLJ had Gaidora up when the other Go! Beasthunters molds went up for pre-order. I must be going crazy though and mixed up BBTS and TFSource or something. Wish they would hurry up though so I can snag a Gaidora and an Abominus set.

    What's the deal with the Microns though? Do they come with the combiner or is it another promo they are doing that coincides with the combiner?

    Not sure what shipping would be, but etoysjapan still has him up for pre-order.

    You appear to be correct, General Tekno said on Twitter he actually has preorders for the three combiners via HLJ, but the listings are gone now for whatever reason. As for AmiAmi and Hobby Search, yeah I don't know what's the holdup there.

    As for the microns, someone who can read Japanese can confirm but I believe those will be part of a new micron campaign like what we say during the Prime AM line (Hellflame microns, Shadow microns, Shining R.A.s, etc.), which makes sense since there were quite a few new micron molds at the end of the AM line that they never had the chance to offer exclusive versions of previously.

    You know how the old G1 toy had these rounded things on top of chest (part that goes under the window in altmode)? Sideswipe didn't have those in the cartoon and neither does the MP. Red Alert had them in the cartoon and the slightly remolded the chest/hood to include those


    Funny thing is they posted a pic of MP Tiger Track next to the G1 toy and I can see several differences. Also, the only art ever made for Tiger Track (the e-hobby box/techspec card) makes Tiger-Track look closer to MP Red Alert than MP sideswipe.

    Some parts mixing would've made this so much nicer.

    (Still getting him of course :p  )

    Tigertrack with the Red Alert head would've been perfect. That way they could've used the Sideswipe head with Red Alert's arms for a G2 Sideswipe and every MP use of this mold would've been slightly different, ah well.

    DAMMIT! Now I want those Transformers GO figures! Japanese exclusives though... they're going to be pricey. I wonder if Hasbro might use those molds at some point?

    ALSO... is it just me, or do they look an awful lot like they're inspired by Machine Robo designs?

    I mean, one would be a coincidence, but all three of these guys? All we need now from TF:GO is a drill-tank dude... and we know how much Japan loves drill-tanks. Maybe Hasbro can distribute them as GO... bots... hey, wait a minute... hmmmm... :peoples:

    Gotta say, the GO! combiners are some of the most interesting Transformers for a long time, for me. I'm really glad they're of substantial size.

    Ah, yep, thanks! Looking at the feedback threads I see that now. I guess I didn't know(or had forgotten) about that difference.

    Still not into those TF-GO guys. They have that half assed "earth" mode designed alt-modes that I really hated from the Unicron Trilogy lines. Just doesn't work for me.

    Maybe they're fembots. :p 

    As for scale, having a Jet and a large truck at Voyager-size feels about right. The police car feels too big though.

    The three samurai dudes and Ratbat are so bought. It'll be my first time importing Takara TFs but it'll be so worth it. The samurai dudes are kind of.....Brave.

    I couldn't have said it better myself. Brave FTW!

    Also I didn't expect them to be voyager sized & so glad that my pre-orders are secured.

    Man at voyager scale the combined mode will be huge, but i'm guessing not much larger thatn JRX from Car Robots back in 2000.

    Man their faces and heads, while they do look robotic they look totally "alien", almost like a liquid metal finish. The backpack kibble doesn't thrill me either but so far it is looking good.

    AmiAmi preorders are finally up for the first three combiner components and Gaidora:

    They're up on Amazon.co.jp too - and Amazon's pre-orders come with the clear Arms Microns! Guess we know how those are being released...

    Sadly, the scanners cut off the info about the clear OP Arms Micron. Funny how they always carefully crop out the actual info...

    Oh really? That's cool. Hopefully they're not too hard to find (or expensive when you do) like the Hellflame microns were.
