    Oh ok. ^_^' I thought it was what. Then again,he does look like he does have some probs. Not to say R.Jetan Ex Gokin has probs himself but then again,that was only one review. I'll be waiting for Kuma Style's review of it tho.

    I'm very torn on if I should get Shuttle Robo because hes the only one I'm missing. but hes 65$ the cheapest I could find, and he just looks like a very weak release.

    Action Toys Machine Robo MR-07 - Shuttle

    From the one time I used Robotoybase, I'm guessing the basic shipping would bump this up to $50 usd. Is that too much?

    Also, got Train Robo today. I sort of wasn't too into the bot mode when I saw the prototypes and the pre-release pictures, and I'm still a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it's my cold. Maybe it's because I'm somewhat lukewarm on the hobby at the moment. Time will tell.

    I just pulled the trigger on 1-8 and the "Super" Bike Robo/Cy-Kill.
    In a few more days I should have them in hand and then there will be a great unboxing.

    DX Bike Robo is a great figure, substantially better than the tiny regular release. Just make sure you order from somewhere that includes the extra Cy-Kill faces.

    Honestly, the only problem with DX Bike is a complete lack of any other DX figures to go with him. He's an incredibly cool orphan toy at this point. But by the time they announce/produce more DX's, he'll be gone and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth and complaining about wanting a reissue. I can hear it now, when the next one shows up, "I want DX Eagle, but I can't find DX Bike for anything less than scalper prices... Waaaaaaaaaaa"

    Am I the only one hoping we'll see some Devil Invaders at some point? I'd love to have a show accurate Vamp with his swanky jet mode instead of the original toy's weird car mode.

    Um, akshually, Vamp is a woman not a man please refer to her by her proper pronouns
    But yes. I would love some new Devil Invaders. I love those little fellas. they're the first thing I think of when I think 80s robot villain designs. just these weird super alien looking robos with a mix of organic and robotic detailings and the most bizarre abstract faces I've ever seen. Creepy and Bugsie are my personal favorites.

    I used to get into pointless arguments about the Bayverse over this Guy. Plenty of people used to swear blind he had NO influence on designs like The Fallen and even Jetfire. But I think the Devil Invaders were a massive, uncredited influence on lots of those film designs - especially facially and the ones that ripped off the more insectile properties.

    And at this point I'd just be happy to hear they are making SOMETHING/ANYTHING further for this line. It's the radio silence that's so frustrating.

    I wholeheartedly agree. I love the design for the Fallen in the movies and when I first discovered the Devil Invaders it was that sort of "holy shit" moment realizing just how similar they look. its made me appreciate some of the movie designs alot more than I already did. but yes, any real update on this line would be appreciated. still waiting on Tough Trailer to come out..... and you know... Blue Jet.

    Yeah..Blue Jet. Jet's got no time!.png Last time we ever got of him was from EX Gokin line where it was super sleek but felt like a parts former but his design was the selling point. Too bad I can't get that version. >_<

    I'm still wondering if Action Toys knew anything about..honest updating. That would be helpful. -_-

    Also,aw man. Casmodon/Vamp. He's an oddball alright. The Fallen/Megatronus' design from ROTF's got some uncredited influences. Ranging from Simon Furman from the Dreamwave TF War Within comics from what I've heard and then,Vamp's design. That's a lot of holes Hasbro's gonna need to explain. Hehe.

    I know there's a lot more we want to happen, but At this stage for the luvvamike just release Turbo and Blue Jet! We know they've had Protos for forever so what is the point of delaying them any further?

    Tbh I’ve given up on Blue Jet and Turbo ever being released. The protos were shown at the same time as Eagle, Bike et al and we still have no clue when they will be released. So that was 4+ years ago - so now I figure that ActionToys were trolling us all!
