    I purchased a whole bunch from Transformer_78, mainly to soften the blow to get them over here to Aus. If you want 1 or so, PM me and we can work something out. Postage should only be $1 as it'd fit in an envelope.

    Since we're using this thread to mention other figures we'd like TE to tackle, I'll second Perceptor - because as far as I'm aware there's only one MP-style option out there and that was released a while ago with no plans for a re-release for those who missed out (or weren't collecting then).
    I'll also suggest Cliffjumper (though I'm happy enough with my choice of representation, I don't think people were 100% happy with any of the options), Gears (I find the alt mode a little unsatisfying), and Ultra Magnus (bot mode a little larger than Prime would be wonderful).

    Everything is great but the face is a little too thin and the eyes aren't big enough to really give off the original cartoon feel.

    That TE alt mode looks just like the G1 toy

    Not only does that alt mode look to nail the toy but it looks to utterly nail the toon drawing too. Look how the engine blocks are understated like the animation model and both have that stubby front end.

    Now release it in exactly the same colours as Cell Sphynx and you've beaten Takara to the punch.

    Love it.

    I'm probably being naive here but have TE given an estimate for release?

    Or if not, how long was it between TE01 being revealed and released?
