    I have not seen a Tank Transer prototype. You sure? I think that was just people misidentifying Jet Transer.

    This is the truck that might be Road Ranger, Dumper or Rest-Q.

    You know what? That's a syringe in his hand! That's gotta be Ambulance Robo!

    Wow, I could have sworn I had seen a prototype for Tank Transer. Tried searching and can’t find it anywhere now. I must have dreamt it or all these delays got me imagining stuff.

    It’s definitely Ambulance Robo. I saw the prototype at TFNation two years ago. The syringe is more obvious in my photos here.

    Just want them to pull their finger out and get on with releasing Turbo and Ambulance!

    WTF? That Turbo looks like a production example. What is taking these guys so long?

    Agreed. Blue Jet and Turbo were two of the first protos shown, so you have to ask what the hell is taking so long?

    Hate to say but I hope they drag their feet long enough for BBTS to figure out WTF is wrong with my account.

    Maybe once they realized these were in demand they went back and redid them to be better.

    Yes maybe, you wonder if something went wrong with the proto that only showed up once ‘in the plastic’. Anyway, looking forward to adding Blue Jet....finally!

    Looking at the old pics of Jet, it looks to have some changes. No sword sheaths on the new pics.

    It’ll likely have swappable short and long cockpit sections just like Rod Drill had a short drill for bot mode and a long drill for tank mode. If that’s the case, the jet mode with short cockpit would look more like the original toy and the long cockpit would look like the animation. I’m also thinking the long cockpit originally split in half to become optional sword sheaths you could peg on. Pretty cool.

    Now gimme a version with chromed wings!

    Just scored one of these Battle Bases



    I don’t even have any of the old 600 series figures to use with it (might change that) and the new Gokin figures are too big, but it should make a nice display piece.

    Screw it....I just re-ordered the DX Bike Robo.

    Did the re-issue by chance include the Cy-Kill faces as well, or was that just a first run thing?
