    Ah, gotcha. I'd have probably figured it out if I took a few seconds to think about it.

    Maybe MT found a way to get their hands on the design/designer? I still freaking hate that this thing is a "limited release" and I also hate not knowing a price right now so I can budget for when the website goes up in a moments notice... All of these companies and their damned "limited" product... Whatever. I'll just wait for the inevitable KO, and be happy with that.

    I'd like to buy, but I fear it will be account-breaking. I wouldn't mind ordering direct from MT but since their cite is Japanese, I doubt I can. I'd have to buy aftermarket, which would jack the price to unreasonable heights.

    Maybe they'll do a normal black version release down the road, but that's so far off if ever. Can't even get the blasted DIA Tanker yet, or Chaos. Ah well.

    This thing really needs some articulated hands. Everything else looks good except the hands.

    I'm loving this. I'm a bit concerned with how MT's version of the G2 Prime mold will hold up quality wise, but it looks amazing.

    Why is that? It's designed with the armor in mind... I'd trust it more than the Hasbro version. I don't have the Battle Tanker, but I do have a G2 prime and I think it's a pretty flimsy figure.

    Agreed. But it's not a deal breaker for me. I just hope Computron comes with FP Bruticus style finger articulation.

    So the whole trailer actually forms his armor? not like the Battle Tanker left over with that Junk?? That was my one gripe with Battle Tanker was that crappy weapons base thingy...

    Looks Beautiful by the way! I wouldn't mind painting him black and evil with them Develish wings mmmmmzzzz

    This looks gorgeous, but it is an absolute pass. Battle Tanker is easily the least fun third party toy to transform/play with. Great display piece though if that's what suits you.

    Yeah, I skipped all the Battle Tanker versions... I didn't mind Classics Laser Prime, and the trailer seemed a minimal and expensive improvement.

    But this guy looks good. I just wonder if those wings can be swiveled down. He'd take up a LOT of room with them sticking out to the side like that.
