    pics why do we need pics do we not remember this toy getting molested by some guy in a vid? i dont know about this my self with the dlx version bieng so awsome why buy this? other than what splitlip said for novelty and play but i too hate the gun arm and the breakaway transformation. if it is 120-160 here FU hasbro pass but if its 70-80 maybe depends on the month. i want to get in on the next round of mp-05s and am definetly gettin mp us screamer. see ive been on disability(to go off subject a bit sry) for about 8 years now and im 27 damn it so i only get about 350$ a month. and no i cant get a job cause no one will wants to hire a peep that can work only twelve hours a week. and if i do more i lose my medical insurance and my chemo costing 5k every month i cant afford that. so im stuck with what i can afford in a month my mom does support my tf collecting to a degree so i can get some more expansivestuff once in a while. but i do have to keep it within limits. and now with my cancer back ive got to do more chemo then uasual so now i really cant try to get work. but enough of my woes. if this is affordable and in a month where other large ticket items arnt i might get him.

    I want to know how he transforms and if we have pull all those pieces off alá that video clip we saw a while back. Just curious really, as no matter how he transforms he's staying on the shelf for that price - Ludicrous.

    Wow that is expensive, but I suppose the price in AU$ shouldn't be too different :( 
    I'll definitely import if I decide to get one. It's going to be a very expensive August...

    £80? Ridiculous.
    Doesn't even look worth 40 to me.

    Save yourself the trouble, we already know collecting outside the US sucks. You've been telling us that for years.

    Sorry if this is an off topic question, but what is the scale of this toy as a car?

    I don't see them having to change the tf sequence, just adding more songs

    Hmm, I'm guessing it's going to wind up in the $150 - $200 AU price range here then. I'll be hanging out for clearance on this one, if I ever do get him.

    I think it's 1/18th or 1/15th. Only reason I remember it not being 1/12 is because I was disapointed when the scale was announced that I wouldn't be able to put it in that special area of my collection reserved for 1/12 scaled toys.

    Thank you :)  If he's 1/18 that'd be another incentive for me to get him, as I get to have my Microman and Votoms DMZ figures involved. With that price I don't know if I should have incentive or not, though...

    It's too big to be 1/18.

    Only the 2 doors need to be detached and reattached (while still being connected to the toy). It's no different than completely detaching Jazz' rear spoiler to make a shield out of it. If anything, Jazz is the only real parts-former of the line.

    I'm not bothered by the wings.

    I'm bothered by the fact he doesn't have an accent.:(

    Quite the massive chip on your shoulder you have against US collectors. And over toys no less. Whatever, keep hating us even though we totally agree with you.
