I'd send that Cy-kill to Priss Asagiri if she exists. I am wondering of that Bike mode of Bike Robo though. I think she's looking at it quite nicely with great interest. Action Toys like I said..they could have updated us in a Facebook post or something if anything happens. They're quite quiet. I think they might wanna release the toys when Bandai does with their new swanky toyline. Other than that,I dunno. I'm not an expert in this field of marketing.
Speaking of Gyro robo...I'm still finding my Machine Robo Rescue version of him....still to no avail. If only I kept the guy and appreciated him.
One more thing. Here's something to keep you guys amused while waiting for Locomotive Robo. (Screenshot from Ep. 14 of Machine Robo Battlehackers)
$120 seems to be the price...here's two spots you can buy him Machine Robo MRDX-01 Bike Robo With Bonus Machine Robo - DX - MRDX-01 Bike Mode
You and everyone else at the Con. But in all fairness, 99% of TF fans get aroused at the sight of Optimus, so... I was annoyed that they stuck these Machine Robo above those Optimi. It was a really bad idea. The Thunder Erebus armor completely overshadowed them. Some stupid armor on toys that have already been released... is somehow cooler than Machine Robo/Gobots. This is exactly why it's taking so long to release more - there seems to be little interest in seeing Gobots re-made. EDIT: But in all fairness, I would add that most fans seem clueless about who these characters are, or what Machine Robo is. The obscurity reminds me of how we similarly have not seen too many Deathsaurus.
Idunno, I pretty much have no interest in anything MakeToys is working on at the moment. they might regain my interest if they make Apeface.
If it helps there are two more corrections. Turbo's Machine Robo name is Supercar Robo. Loco's name is Steam Robo.
You know it! I am definitely Loco for Loco. Robomachine Locomotive was my first ever transforming robot toy, way back in 1984 (or thereabouts) and he sits proudly in my detolf now, waiting for his new version to join him and my other trainformers. I'm also still waiting for a decent 3P G1 'MP' Astrotrain, as Skully says, it's a glaring hole that needs to be filled, hopefully by Fanstoys.
Oh sick! Astrotrain,man!! Steam ROBO!! Buji dattanoka! (Actual line used in that screen cap I made from before describing that robo's relief for his friend) And this is why we're getting these Robos late,eh? 'smh' Well...they should have kept the Thunder Erebus for later. Well,truth be told. No one knows wtf Machine Robo or Gobots are anymore since the 90s so can't blame them...but WHAT THE HELL?!! They shoulda NOT done that!! That's quite harmful to your business ventures if there's a slight chance NO ONE'S GONNA buy these amazing MRs if you place Thunder Erebus in there. It's gonna cause some trouble. Well,that's my take.
I have to say, even though the original hype has died down a lot, ever since I got the 2 main guys, I had the Japanese release of Turbo, so I've been waiting for him since they first revealed the Revenge of Chronos line. I really hope they do a translucent blue window instead of the light blue paint, though. And yes, Loco does look really good. Fingers crossed for them to release them soon.
