    I don't see any pics in that link. And I can't read Japanese. What is it?

    I think Hasbro needed to learn more.
    I started to growl on limited clear transparent/chromed models.

    From what the translator was able to decipher...it's apparently a prototype Ginrai used in store displays in Japan.

    Still, when converted to USD...his asking price is: $273,297.75

    HELL no.

    I think these are KO's. The Cosmos figure has got the same twisted arm issues as the coloured one.

    What do you mean? It looks like the same arm the original had.

    Well if you like them enjoy them, I will have to pass. I was never really into these small guys anyway.

    Yeah from this view it does, but the legs are facing backwards.

    Would love to see coloured versions of those - Cosmos in clear green (with a clear red head) would be so full of awesome, the universe'd probably implode. :D

    Hey Jaguaratron,
    That sounds like an interesting piece of Information regarding those Clear Mini-bots.

    Q: Out of curousity, do you have any Decepticon-related Rarities?
