    I'm not interested in the Microns, but I'd love the Megs card, yet another item to add to my Megs collection.

    I'm intrigued by Strafe, not sure how the colours will work though.

    Sent an email for more details.

    Very interesting stuff. I wonder what Strafe will look like, I mean, I've got an idea but I'd like to see if I am right (red face, white body, red detailing, probably orange chrome on the wings themselves.)

    Hm. The Classics/Universe completist in me is both happy and distressed by this news. On one hand, could be a chance for some great exclusives. On the other, I'm worried these figures may be insanely expensive to acquire outside of Japan.

    We'll see.

    Strafe, huh? That's random. But as a Technobot fan, very welcomed. Especially since I think Cyclonus is such a cool toy to begin with. I'm just hoping it won't cost me TOO much to get my hands on one...

    That's a great catch... There's no reason to expect it to be the Technobot, per say... Japan's done some pretty random homages before. G2 Strafe DOES seem to fit the mold...

    Haha - the news posting has him down as "Vortex". The inevitable years of arguing re: Bolter, Volter, and Vortex may now begin. Hint: Vortex is incorrect.

    Cyclonus as Strafe - meh.
    Minicons - meh.

    I'll keep my platinum Visa, thanks.

    I KNEW IT! They WERE going to use the Cyclonus mold, and by holy kegs of beer, they're going with Strafe.

    Technobots need MOAR love, tho!

    (Note: Didn't see that about the G2 version. It could be the G2 Strafe. However I hope for the Technobot Strafe.)

    Hmm... Strafe out of Cyclonus huh? Seems random, but I totally want it. Something tells me he might be a tad on the expensive side all things considered, but I did manage to get hold of Henkei Wildrider... sooooo it's just a matter of money.
