    Seawing and Nautilator have been shipped from Pulse! (I was on the second round of pre-orders for these).

    Excellent post!! One comment I need to add though is car robots were amazing and mostly not shell formers. After Armada reset line to brick gimmicks it wasn't until 2009 ROTF that figures returned to car robots level of engineering and articulation and transformation/accuracy etc.

    Yes sir I got my order in last week and they were shipped today

    It should also be noted that Car Robots was also only half engineered and designed by takara on their own. Of the roughly 32 molds in the original Japanese iteration of the line, only 14 were new molds. The rest were reused from G1, G2 and Beast wars.

    It was a generalization, but Car Robots still had its share of shell-formers. Speedbreaker for sure. Mach Alert and Wildride had elements, but they hid it better. Sort of a half-and-half.

    [edit] Even some of the toys that you wouldn't normally consider "shellformers" have the design mentality of such. Fire Convoy and God Magnus in particular don't really integrate their alt-modes into their robot designs. They just kinda hide all of that on their back.

    Dammit.
    I was aware of this; the designer explicitly emailed me about it, shortly after I'd placed my order.
    This left me with the impression that what I was getting would be the redesigned version (it wasn't).
    I'll contact him to see if he's willing to fix this for me.

    My orders (both Nautilator and others) shipped, both were supposed to be shipped on the second, but they've shipped now, due to arrive on Thursday (I'm not confident about that). I'm in no rush, but it is nice to see that they're on their way now.

    I'm still irritated that what...a year, two years, after Pulse's creation they still can't lump multiple items into the same package. Tentakil is just waiting around there because Overbite hasn't shipped yet. Not bling the Warehouse here but rather how Pulse handles their order. Such a moronic method, sigh.

    even though it is irritating they’re the ones losing out on the extra shipping cost

    Got Tentakil from HP today! He looks great but man his ball joints are just as loose as all the girls he’s remolded from. I’m gonna tighten him up tomorrow night with some future.

    My Overbite arrived from Hasbro Pulse today. Hope Tentakil arrives tomorrow.

    Oh, yay, got the e-mail notifications from Pulse that my last two are out for delivery. Should be within the next couple of days.
