Of course most kids will work out within 5 seconds that the best use of these is as knuckledusters against their friend.

 

Just noticed if you select the lower pic of the box and use the zoom function you can also just about see close up art of Bumblebee and (I think) Prowl on the side of the box. Looks like all characters might have battle mouthguards.

Actually (click on enlarge):

I think it helps that I tend to watch them very late at night when everyone else is in bed, so I have it on very low volume with the subtitles - the general overacting/overenthusiasm of the Japanese voice actors doesn't stand out as much that way.

"HEAD ON!"

 

Re:Lambo MP mould.

I was playing with my KO MP Sideswipe and MP Smokescreen last night and have to say that SS wins hands down.

What a joy that mould is to transform.

 

Both have the initials SS, which one do you mean?  

 

I'm guessing red eyes like the toy - maybe even glossy red horns, otherwise minor differences, kinda like Soundwave's two separate releases.

Shit lol. I didnt even think of that

I meant Sideswipe :-D

 

Yeah, could see them maybe putting arm tampos on as well to match the G1 toy. Although they may just add optional stickers like with Hasbro Rodimus. Stickers seem to be something Hasbro are liking right now as well.

 

Red eyes? As far as I know only Bluestreak had painted eyes...

 

If it has the G1 tampos I might have to get one.

iPad kept wanting to spell that tampons......Pnarr Pnarr!

 

Oh goodness that's right, Prowl just had silver eyes like the rest of his face!

Surely they won't leave his eyes unpainted to replicate toy accuracy.

If he didn't dive in at £30 from AE/HLJ I'm pretty sure £50 is out of the question!

I think when you get used to it the Datsun is quite intuitive too......only downer is that chest peg....feels like you are gonna rip the bonnet off at times.

 

Wait until they introduce the target masters!

 

That's spot on - pretty scary the first time and reminded me of some of the nerve-shredding Alternity transformations.

This. Sideswipe that is  

Oh no, hadn't considered that. Even Hasbro wouldn't do that, would they?

 

 

Even £50 is a bargain considering that SS provides much more than an hour of fun for your £50, which is RAR's upper limit.

 

Is it me or is the macross vf17 not a million miles away from idw's Megatron? I wonder what it would look like with Megs head.....

 

You get what you pay for.

 

Hence why the Japanese ones cost more

 

They're rarer but provide the full fan service.
