    I totally missed those pics. Their Blue Jet had a more successful conversion than this one tbh. Especially given the price tag.

    Saw a couple of Gobot homages among the 3P clearance on BBTS. I know the Turbo homage Sonic is supposed to not be very good but for $20 I figure I'd take a chance. Ordered Hoss as well. Need my Gobot/Machine Robo fix.

    Ha, I only looked at the 'metal color' listing which doesn't show pics of him transformed, although it does mention transformation in the description. Derp.
    OK, I may be interested now. Partsforming doesn't bother me as much as it used to, even though I would of course prefer perfect transformation. It's also a little on the spendy side, but it should be pretty big and hefty at 19cm. I'll probably end up passing because I thought their Blue Jet was one of the most unsatisfying chunks of gokin I've ever laid my hands on. Hmmm...

    Is there anyway someone could check if those will be released?

    I hate to say it, but this line appears to be on life support.

    No idea. They have a Facebook page, but it hasn't been updated since December. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to send them a message.
    Machine Robo

    Wow...also, been a year since colored pics of Turbo and Space Robos were shown.

    Fwiw, Action Toys is either a part of, or associated with ArtStorm/Fewture who are notorious for delays with their products.

    I'd love Turbo and Blue Jet to make it out at least before T.O.D is called.

    Same here. Blue Jet/Fitor was always my favorite so it'll kill me if he doesn't get released. And Loco. And Spay-C. Ugh...

    Exactly. BlueJet has to happen but I can't say I'm not worried.

    I don't have much hope. Action Toys' Facebook hasn't had even 1 post in basically a full calendar year. I fb msg'd them & asked if they had a date on Turbo/Space Robo or if they were cancelled. It took them about 3 months but they eventually replied "no update" & that was all they said.

    I guess if you want to be optimistic you could say "At least someone checks the fb mssgnr account 3-4 times a year."

    I just wanted that Turbo that looks basically finished, but I basically gave up.

    Machine Robo's Facebook is showing new pics of Space Shuttle Robo and Missile Tank Robo, plus what appears to be a new DX Bike Robo. Very cool, even if it has been forever since we heard anything.

    OMG...hope at last! But dammit, not Turbo! Perhaps he and Blue Jet are next.

    New Bike Robo looks pretty good too. Perhaps a little more in line with "Masterpiece-scaled"

    Shuttle and Tank look amazing and I'll buy them for sure. I have no interest in another Bike Robo. I'm very happy to see some signs of life finally, even if I am getting painfully impatient for MAH DAMN BLUE JET! :p

    Well, not really... I mean, the bike would be hilariously huge, and Go-Bots usually only stood two or three times human height, like MP Bumblebee, whereas this Cy-Kill would be around the size of MP Optimus Prime. It's 'Masterpiece-sized', perhaps, but not 'scaled'.

    Just talking loosely with robot mode, hence the quotation marks. When these things were first revealed, there was a lot of talk about them being "MP styled", followed by some disappointment with how small they actually are. The DX could be more in line with what those fans were looking for.

    I'm pretty sure they know he's like the most anticipated figure, and just keep pushing him back for fun.

    18.5 cm = 7.283 inches = voyager/mp car sized.
