    I'd honestly rather have an overload-styled trailer that skywing can set on at an angle and can transform into armor of its own. I'd ideally like a system where Manus has multiple armor choices that can transform into their own bots and whatnot akin to gridman and the Zenon System/Dyna Dragon.

    Mhm. Best of all that would add tremendous value to Stirker himself, already wonderful toy and if MT can literally make him a modular piece with many display options and setups man that'd be the most bad ass thing.

    I wonder if they would consider unique weapons for a Shattered glass version, like some sickle weapons on chains to tab on to his shoulders rather than mini axes. The armor trailer could then provide him with an axe or glaive or some assortment of more evil instruments. If MT puts work in to accessories and display options it would go a long way to making people gladly dip on Stikers mold many times.

    At this rate, an armored white Ultra Magnus is more likely than one that is retooled from Thunder Manus.

    Yea. I think the more variance the better.

    So long as they keep churning out awesome black repaints for Striker Noir, I'll be happy with whatever they do. Of course I'll get the ones for Manus and Manus Metallic, but... Noir is such a sexy beast.

    Hi, I don't know if this was asked before, but is the weapon-set only for the noir-version?
    Or is there a chance of getting the weapon-set without taking the Legendary Toys KO?

    It’s also coming with the metallic reissue and there were rumors of it being available for separate purchase, but I don’t think that’s been confirmed.

    I'm still hoping that it turns out that the PE Jetwing Prime's core bot scales similarly enough to be compatible to their earlier Jinrai kit for TR Prime... And by extension the TR Prime and CW Magnus figures. I'd go out of my way to get all those sets (and upgrade kits) nd it meant a Prime with three sets of armor to choose from.

    It wasn't confirmed. It was just from a quote from Transfan Facebook
    Nowadays, Maketoys don't disclose much publicly.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I really don’t want to go through the trouble of selling a ko figure of this but damn I want that pack for Manus

    I really want a Cross Dimensions Overload that has a cab that scales with Thunder Manus' cab. It would be too much to ask for them to combine with both Thunder and Striker, I guess.

    The metallic paint version + yellow weapons and orange axe was clearly a counter to the KO just like PE Leonidas Origin and Bandai Metal Build 00 Gundam Seven Sword/G did with their KO counterparts.

    It is to reissue the figure with a slight cosmetic change and offer a new weapon. This way it would attract both existing owners and yet to be owners of the mould.

    I looked through several Pre-Order Pages (Show.Z, roboToyBase), but they did not mention the Weapon Set.
    So I'll have to wait till its available and hope the set will be included.
