Those pics from Seibertron confirm what I already knew, this set is gonna kick @$$!!!  



edit: Also, does anyone know when those custom Megatron guns are gonna be released? I must get the Henkei version, I simply MUST!!

 

Seriously, this set is epic.
and a great deal, i'd have dropped $100-120, $76 is great!
Edit: Get the eff out! they put pegholes so you can attach G! UM's launchers to the shoulders.
These guys are seriously my heroes.

 

This is so pimp!



I'm so glad I decided to pre-order this set a few months before, now I know I'm gonna love it  

 

hey guys maybe one of you can answer my question,

Took out my old G1 Ultra Magnus ( found at a fleas market) so that i could use the old rockets on the new Magnus armor. But i was looking at the rockets instead of the "short stubby" rockets like featured in the picture above, mine were two or three inch long rockets. Pretty sure my magnus is not a repaint but what gives about the longer red rocket?

 

those were from the reissue Magnus that came out at TrU, what like 5 years ago...
i have it too, and they look totally ridiculous. those US-safety-required reissue missiles were just horrible, the ones that came with the seekers were especially bad.

 

yep thats what i figured. thanx

gonna see if i can saw off most of it and put it back on with a metal pin in the middle.

whats so safe about longer missles anyway? I would think that would be even deadlier

 

Hasbro can really learn a thing-or-two from such simple logic, I'm not kidding.....cause that's a good point.

 

I did just that with mine; cut them, drilled a hole in both piece and glued them at the normal lenght with a metal rod in it.

 

how did it come out skywave? Great to know somebody else did this, since sometimes i start something like this and run into a snag I hadn't anticipated. I little conversion like this shouldn't be any problem for me but then again i have regretted saying that more than a few times

 

Never have I felt so utterly justified in a pre-order!
Hurry up BBTS!

 

Holy Crap! This thing looks better and better everytime something new about it pops up. This will be, without a doubt, one of the very finest pieces in my collection. I love UM, and this toy is 100% bad ass.

 

A little off subject, but does anyone else want to see these guys do a re-issue of their Cliffjumper set? Considering they have so much support with online retailers now, I'd love to see them come back and undercut all of the scondary market scalpers on eBay that are selling their conversion kit for $280 and up.

 

Longer are safer, of course, because shorter (smaller) are a choking hazard.

That would be pretty cool. I also hope they come up with a Prime trailer (didn't I read somewhere one was in the works?) and other projects. These guys put a lot of effort in their work, and it shows. Hopefully this trailer sells enough for them to fund more projects!  

 

I think they will definitely have enough sells to keep on going. 2000 pieces are being made(don't quote me on that) and if this goes out with a bang like the cliffjumper set and these UM sets being around $70-80 a pop that about an estimate of $140'000-160,000..................damn!!!! But that's only if they sell out of them which I will bet over the course of a small to mid amount of time will happen. I can't wait for the classics Matrix and Megatron gun mode.

And even thou BBTS says towards the end of September is there a possibility of it going into October which would be sweet cuz I would be absolutely broke if this ships around the end of Sept and take my money. I get paid salary again on the 3rd. And I plan on getting a Magnus and Skywarp two pack off ebay doesn't matter the cost and it will save me some money without getting the Henkei Skywarp that is already $70 alone.  

 

Turned out great, though it's not hard when you compare to the long missile  

You turn this


into this


Since the reissues came with 4 missiles, it was either display with no missile, or try to cut two of them. I'm glad I cut them now  

Instead of a Prime trailer, I'd much prefer a trailer set to turn Nemesis Prime into Motormaster  

 

Had to see it to believe it. WOW!!!!  

 

Eeeeeeeheheheheheeeeee!!!!!

 

Coolness.


Two questions, though:

*Is there any pic around which shows how big the City Commander is compared to the new Onslaught?

*Is there anywhere that is selling a pack with both Classics Magnus and the City Commander trailer/armour?

 

Not that I saw

Yes
