    X-Transbots just posted this on this blog, in english:

    So we have a name: "XP-1 Kenzoha Upgrade Parts", a date, next month, the implication that they will be lower cost then Crazydevy, and the implication that there will be a "series". Neato!

    I just noticed, the contents on the back of the Destroyer box says "Bio card x 7" So it has cards for all the Constructicons and one for Devastator?

    Interested! It would mean I'd have to get an encore devs at some point though.

    Well, Robotkingdom put up a new pic of this on their facebook:

    XTRANSBOTS - XP-1 | Facebook

    Not sure if the pic of Devy with the upgrades next to MP Megatron was in that earlier link, but I didn't see it.

    It also lists the price of $23.90....not bad.

    If that's the price then I'll bite - My G1 set is missing either the fists or the drill, can't remember which. At that price, it's a more worthwhile upgrade than tracking down the extra parts I lost. The only thing I would be curious about is how it looks and stands with Long Haul's legs sticking out the back like that.

    When I was a kid, I kept all my guns and parts in a seperate shoebox. One time, Devastator was merging to fight Defensor and for the life of me I couldn't find that other fist. So I shrugged, jammed the drill bit in there, and gave Defensor the dental surgery of his life! :lol

    I just had a though - Scrapper's foot in Devastator mode might benefit from a piece to make it more solid so it stands better.

    I would imagine if you wanted to upgrade say G1 Bruticus or G1 Defensor the most useful parts would be foot pads that allow for a variable stance and new hands. But you could make the bots bigger than they were using extra parts and put in new stronger joints and arm extensions etc...

    I wish upgrade companies were more open to making Beast Era upgrades as I really want enhancements for God Neptune and Gigastorm to make them like the original versions of the moulds they are derived from.

    lol, this is perfect for me as I recently got 4 of the 6 G1 figures in excellent condition for almost nothing. I made a thread in the wanted section but I really didn't want to pay like $50 just for the bare accessories to make devastator. This is the perfect option!

    If this really ends up being $23.90. I will buy it merely to support a company putting out something at a real price.

    And to support the idea that lower prices will increase sale numbers thus providing a profit that will make the creator happy.

    $23.90 + $15.87 shipping(to HI anyways) = $39.77. That's like the cost of one crazy devy set. I says preorder january 2012 but robotkingdom has it up on their site. Damn....i may have to bite even thought I got a crazy fragile devy'd devastator.

    man, why did i ever join this site. lol.
