    Nice to see the combiner parts coming with the smaller bots, but on the flip side it means I have to buy Alpha Bravo.

    The 5mm peg holes will mean original combiner hands and weapons can be used with them. Expect a run on original Menasor/Motormaster guns.

    I'm not sure that's the case: I recall reading it's cards with everything this time.

    Depends on your terminology and where a "remold" ends and "shared parts" begin.

    A good point. The legs and most of the arms are the same in robot mode, but there's a lot of parts the same between Jet modes too -Airriad jet and Skydive Jet - and overall I think there's more in common than not.

    You're right, they did say comics with the deluxe at the SDCC panel.

    However if you look at the boxed Optimus Prime and Motormaster shown at NYCC they're the four language versions.

    I'll offer you a fiver there's been a change of plan and it's cards across the line with 4 language packaging for the US.

    Not in terms of actual measurement but in a recent comparison shot he was much taller than Energon Bruticus so he should scale perfectly with recent third party combiners.

    Cool, yeah I think he'll scale well with Green Giant, that would make me very happy. I think this 100$ version of Superion is a lot nicer than TFCs, at any price.

    Right now, still holding my BBTS order for the CW figures, but I bet that through HLJ, the Tak versions will be the same price as BBTS's Hasbro versions (if not cheaper). Maybe I should just cancel my BBTS orders.

    I should be safe to assume that Tak will release CW figures in time right?

    TakaraTomy will definitely release this line, the question is when and how. If you're patient you'll be fine - you'll have no problems finding these figures for cheap later on.

    Ok I am new to this thread. I keep seeing for sale a total of 4 of the Airielbots. Shouldn't there be 5 total? Is the one missing Airraid? If so when does the last one come out?
