Shockwave 75 i was meaning that the Tripredacus toy would've been rare over here in Scotland as it was never released in the toy stores @ that time! maybe in the US it wasn't rare! also YES i know that you now can(even over here!) go online & buy the more rare, unusual & difficult to find TF toys nowadays like on EBay! + it was good of you to point out that the Scorponock toy never came out as a transmetal(unless you count his live action Bay counterpart as one!) + i don't believe it would be impossible to do a live action tv series....coz look @ the new Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Universe & V! all of those used expensive FX in them! & remember! even in the Bay films! the transformers weren't in every single shot! so y'knever know! + after the next Star Trek film...the producers are thinking of doing a star trek tv series & i'm sure that the FX & the cost of them will be pretty high!
