    ^ This is a major deterrent for me. I'm not a real anime fan and the Japanese G1 guys remind me of Gundam or something.

    I could have found a Japanese person to proxy my vote for Armada Prime I guess.

    Then again I'm more than happy with Star Saber

    No, scratch that

    I'm ecstatic with Star Saber.

    The mind boggles how a jet, with a pilot/brainmaster and a further super vehicle mode, climaxing with a super robot mode, is uncool to some.
    Can't all like everything though, so I'm not going to rage.

    Hey, first combining/super mode MP folks!

    Too bad feeding trolls isn't like feeding alligators where it just ends up with the alligator having to be put down after it eats your little kids.

    I have no nostalgia for the character or know anything about him, but I'll buy it if it looks cool. :)

    Because some people actually know how to read other languages.

    Agree.

    I think it's awesome to get ANY of the characters in the entire franchise as a Masterpiece. Irregardless of my personal nostalgia or love for the "look" of a character. The opportunity to get my hands on a completely new mold and to discover the complexities that go into making it and the transformation will guarantee it a spot on my shelf.

    It is great. Although there really isn't that much to talk about other than speculation at this point.

    Just a joke, man. (I can read French but it kind of doesn't count)

    I thought we already cleared up the issue of liking/not liking Star Sabre because of his Japanese-ness coupled with his inherent lameness. Don't try to drag this open and honest communication through the mud, troll.

    I'm reposting my thoughts, since they got buried by a bunch of irrelevant bull shit that derails the purpose of this thread.

    Who's feeding the alligator their kids?

    And, you know what, this OPP guy is a colossal dick, but I admit to being a little jaw dropped that people are discovering Transformers in adulthood and sticking around.

    I try to imagine discovering, like, Beyblade in my twenties and getting completely on board.

    I mean, it's one thing to discover and fall in love with something when you're young and impressionable...

    The folks hoping for a subsequent Victory Leo (and I share your desire), I recall it was mentioned in the announcement that SS will be designed with a possible future VL in mind, the combined mode of which will be nuts! :)

    I don't know about Awesome. I liked it, and I would like to hear more, but awesome is pretty high praise.

    Victory Leo will be made at some point, because if TT doesn't do it, someone else will!

    I thought technically anyone could vote as long as you printed out the form and mailed it in with the points from Go! and Generations products. I don't recall it being limited to Japanese residents, but maybe I missed something that came out after the initial news on how to vote.
