    Holy shit I love building those kits! I'll buy every one of these.

    If you've never built one, be warned it takes a steady hand and small tweezers and cutters. Little tiny metal tabs to bend and cut. It's amazing what they allow you to make flat metal sheets into.

    EDIT: And preordered at BBTS. $12 a pop.

    Prime and Soundwave are based on their reboot MP figures it appears.

    I love the whole Metal Model thing so these are pretty cool. Not really a fan of the Bumblebee and Megatron but I'll still buy Optimus and Soudwave. I love that they're so based off the MP too.

    I'm hyped for these, I like the star wars and star trek kits but haven't had an excuse to mess with any of them. It will just be tough to decide which one to try first.

    Oh wow...those are going to be a PIA to get perfect.

    I've done the Millenium Falcon, AT-AT, and Vader's Tie-Fighter, but man, these look a bit more complex than those.

    Any word on how big they are? If they are bigger than the SW kits, they may be a little easier to deal with.

    Wow! I'm a huge fan of Metal Earth kits and these came out of nowhere. I'll get Prime and Megs for sure, and hell Soundwave too!

    This. Why give him those huge rear fenders bulging out from his legs, if he doesn't actually transform? Just go all G1-toon with no rear wheels at all.

    I was interested in these Metal kits when I saw some of the recent Star Wars/Star Trek and even Halo ones. (Online pics only). But some, like the Halo ones, didn't look that great. These ones look really good. I've never tried these before but like I said was recently interested. So I'm going to try these out and see how it goes. Pre-Ordered 3 of them.
