    It looks like the Sega History Collection Megadrive. Would be nice if they brought that out again as part of this. There's even a Playstation they could pack with Prime too.

    "Antagonistic videogame console" :lolol 

    How the mighty have fallen - yesterday Megatron was plotting to rule the universe, now he merely makes fun of you for your gameplay skills.

    The preorders have been sold out for a while I think, he was originally due out months ago, glad he's finally actually being released.

    He does look like a fun novelty Transformer figure. Shame I didn't grow up with a Sega MegaDrive way before my time.

    He looks really good! I love how they aren't afraid to take TransFormers to places other than cars, planes, and beasts.

    What are you flip flopping over? I'm a huge Sega and video game fan so this was a no brainer for me.

    Mine is already on it's way from Anime Export.

    yea man, the only thing keeping my order intact is the fact that he's a sega genesis and I also grew up with one :) . his bot mode looks meh to me, not to mention those tiny bound feet. for < $50 he'd be a lot easier to take in, but at $100+ shipped? that's where I'm flip flopping over.

    His bot mode does look a little this for me, but it is what it is with that. He looks just good enough and has the G1 style arm cannon which I like.

    Where did you preorder from? I got him from Anime Export, was ~$75 at the time and shipping (SAL) was $12.30. He's like $120 or something at BBTS which would've been a bit too much for me too.

    i got him for ~$75 with the hlj early bird, and i'm assuming shipping would be $10-15. so, i'll sit on it another few days and hope for a video review - if there's some cool transforming gimmick then that'll seal the deal for me, but if all it is is pulling all 4 sides of the genesis out to form his limbs, then that'd be pretty lame.

    Well looking at the figure, the transformation doesn't look too amazing. But if you look at it this way, I'd get it just for the value. I would thing his value will go up when Playstation Prime is released and you could probly sell it pretty easy at that point.
