    If it doesn't cost an arm and a leg... maybe.

    The display card says "Blades" so I'm guessing this is someone's attempt at a custom Protectabot. Pretty good job too... except you can clearly see a lot of the paint lines.

    I dunno... I guess I'm still not really seeing anything in that Magnus trailer yet. A bunch of blacked out images isn't selling me on it. I'll wait to see some colored pics.

    Nothing special at all. I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested, but if the CJ upgrade kit is any indiciation these things are laughably overpriced.

    Looks like repaints of the RobotMasters toys.

    [edit] Wait, no they don't!

    Is that a real head on Ratchet or a cardboard cut out? See last picture at the bottom of the page from the link provided.

    That is indeed what it is. It was first posted months ago - a quick search will probably find half a dozen threads dedicated to it. :p

    I've still yet to get my hands on a blade for Optimus Prime. Is there anyplace other than Ebay to get these?

    Hopefully the online retailers will be able to pick up these new upgrades too.

    As long as the Prime trailer isn't over 25.00, I'll give in.

    not necessarily, supposedly going to have a much larger number of them produced. I expect to see them on BBTS and TFSource, and probably other sites as well.

    $55-$75 was what I remember hearing the Magnus armor would go for. But that could change. I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on my classics collection already and nothin will stop me from getting both of the upcoming kits.

    And! On a side note, I just got a package delivery slip in my mailbox saying my Cliffjumper kit has arrived! Get to pick it up tomorrow!!!!

    I'd love all their stuff, but it's just such a pain in the ass to buy.

    Wish TFSource or Fan2Fan would get working with him.
