    That starscream looks nice would get if cheap enough. Maybe they'll turn up in home bargains or b+m in a few years time :p

    I'm interested in that Megatron, but I'd also like to see some from-the-back photos, since that's where the hollowness usually manifests on these Cyber Battalion figs.

    Not TOO bad. Think SScream would be the better one out of them. IMO

    I'm really hoping at least one of the online U.S stores gets these so I can get that Megatron. Paying $27 shipped is just too much, and while I like the figure I don't like him THAT much. :lol

    Yeah, I like them as well. If they hit stateside, I will certainly buy them up without a second thought.

    I'd be willing to buy that starscream for my generations shelf, he's in the scale I want and the only other option for said scale costs like $300 on bbts

    I want that megatron! Will add some new fists and g2 head and he will be perfect for my needs. Are these coming to the US? Starscream would have been bought with better knees, I might do that myself later.

    love these im sick of getting transformers that I have to look at the instructions EVERYTIME I want to transform them!

    the knees don't bother me as I don't really pose my display they are usually standing in robot mode so these with a lick of paint would be brilliant

    oh and if they are taking requests thundercracker, skywarp, and age of extinction legends strafe (File:TF2014toy-StrafeClassic.jpg - Transformers Wiki)

    Yeah, some people liking something that's unique, and others blatantly slamming it and them.
    Business as usual.

    If I can get a hold of these I think my 4 year old son would love them. He's starting to get bored with his Rescue Bots. He does OK with my CW stuff but definitely gets hung up and frustrated in spots. These look like they would hit a nice sweet spot in the middle

    And that may pretty much describe the target audience for such toys. It's great to see more options available for fans of various ages, even if these don't appeal to everyone. Then again, no item is made to appeal to everyone to begin with. It'd be great if more of the fandom could just say/think "I don't like this, it's not for me, but I can appreciate/understand that others may enjoy this" as opposed to spewing vitriol and having a fit over something they have no plans to acquire. "I don't like this, so neither should you" is too childish a stance for people to have these days.

    Exactly! Thank you!
    Hasbro has given us the very number that we constitute. 15% of the N. American buying market. The fact that there are people who think a company should market 100% of it's product to 15% of it's buying market leaves me utterly flabberghasted.

    Honestly, while I agree we need knees ( I think someone should polity say that at Botcon) Really everyone wins with this Megatron. It's BIG, It's an original design, and it's only $15 Freaking dollars!!

    It's real easy to complain about a cheap toy not being exactly as you want it when you're a manchild who can afford 1000$ third party figures.
    I grew up in a poor neighborhood. In a place where the only accesible Transformers were things like Spy Changers and Legends and cheap KOs, stuff like this and the Titan Heroes would have been really cool. They're huge and sturdy for their pricepoint, which is definitely a step up from tiny Legion figures.

    Can't see why not... the few "Deluxes" they released were god awful. The only exception, tragically, is Wind Razor... and sadly the only good that would have come from this would have been oversized Terrorcons for sake of a nice combiner Abominus.

    That said... Only the prime seems to be as cruddy as say, BH Legends Bee. The Megatron's actually pretty nice looking, and Starscream would be nice if it had knees. Frankly, I expect folks to grab those two, repaint, and find new joints to make them solid.

    I need to see this.

    That's so cruel.

    The height is pretty much perfect for a seeker.
