    Check BBTS frequently. If someone cancels then it will become available. that's how I got my preorder in last week. :) 

    My only complaint about that Breakdown is that he's not standing here on my desk right now. Hot damn he looks good.

    The Rhinohammer is indeed most mighty.

    Also, Knockout is so not going to be that shiny. And even with the shininess, I can see he's missing paint apps. And that picture probably has the stickers aplied.

    I predict Breakdown's Mech Tech to be something similar to this.

    Would love to see an official US announcement so I could dump the preorder. Really don't want to pay $50+ for this, but I may have to.

    *sigh*

    vehicle mode is too bulky.
    legs look ugly.
    henkai knockout should have a complete remold.
    why are they releasing Nemesis Prime from Classics?
    The only GOOD micron so far is the one that comes with soundwave since it transforms into the tentacle he actually uses in the show.
    all the other micron are pointless and they need to stop making them. its just a waste of money and time.
    you never see the little bastards in the show so why bother? its the same problem with Transformers Cybertron. There was only 1 minicon yet they saw fit to repaint all the minicons from armada and release them. Hasbro and Takara could be making figures that are actually worth getting if they didnt waste their resources!

    i honestly dont see how you so called "fans" support figures like these that dont even look accurate. knockout looks disgusting and i think after seeing it, the real knockout would claw is optics out.

    These aren't "Henkei", for one. That was the Classics line from a few years back. Arms Micron is taking the Hasbro figures and trying to modify them to appeal to the modelbuilding craze - thus the stickers/microns. It's a VERY different market than North America.

    (Heck - Japan LOVES the Microns, given they keep releasing PCC minicon repaints there.)

    As for the Nemesis Prime, it's a convention exclusive. And it's a different deco anyway.

    Confusion alleviated –thank you.
    Also, RHINOHAMMER.

    And in the case of Megatron the “Mechtech” weapon is a fairly close approximation of his weapon in the show.
    Maybe Breakdown will have a similar weapon, too.

    Also, RHINOHAMMER.

    Conversely, it could end up like Prime and Bulkhead's weapons.

    Bulkhead's, while neat, isn't really a good representation of his show weapon.

    Soo glad I went ahead and pre-ordered Breakdown back when we first saw the prototype. Even if the Japan-only stuff turns out to be BS, the lack of see-through plastic on this version and the sheer awesomeness of that Rhinohammer is enough for me to justify the import.

    That is the more likely outcome, I'm sure.

    If Hasbro releases Breakdown, please?, I can see his weapons being either 1. The "Mech-tech weapon" is the hammer while the normal weapon is his shoulder mounted gun or 2. The "Mech-tech weapon" is the gun while the normal weapon is the hammer. I hope option 2 is the way that comes out.
