    for some people at least, it initially said 1-2 months and they ended up getting theirs this week instead of beginning of october earliest

    mine was meant to come on tuesday but been delayed til nxt tuesday, im hoping the fact that the listing sporadically comes back on means theyre getting figures in

    Oreo! He's adorable <3

    Impressive indeed and yeah, great fun seeing figures posed in a backdrop. Kind of makes me wonder if this backdrop was built for a con display like the ruined city thing they showed off a bunch of Siege figures in or that diorama they had for ER at another con?

    I've not seen the vid but it always makes me smile when I see people involved in creating things get genuinely excited about what they're making and you can tell they're having the time of their lives :) 

    The cowards! Give a definitive answer already and piss off 50% of the people :lol

    Ahhhh, thanks for the explanations! I just logged on this evening and was flabbergasted at the front page. So, as mildly stupid people like myself do, I immediately went to the UK thread to scream in disbelief :lol 

    Megatron is looking quite Leader-ish, can’t remember if we got a listing to indicate otherwise. And he’s looking quite portly in Barney mode, but that’s probably show accurate.

    So, SS86 really is just an extension of Kingdom if Cyclonus is anything to go by? I did wonder at the Pit promo images having WFC on them.

    That might put me on the hook for the previous reveals. That's both bad and good in my terms! At least I don't like HR and Kup's alt modes, so that won't see me buying extras!

    Great as the photography is, Roland Rattrap and Chester Cheetah still look pants to me in their alt modes and at best that's what I'd want them for.

    Barney, I mean Megatron, looks amazing in beast mode but I really don't fancy spending £50 on a random purple dinosaur to just sit there randomly too. His bot mode was always a joke to me.

    My main takeaway so far is I went from, 'I've no real connection to the movie' to 'Well, if I'm getting Cyclonus...'.

    And are they already suggesting a further Rattrap scale?

    Definitely will try to get that Cyclonus as I haven't grabbed any of the previous versions of him, but I do quite like the look of the Beasties too. At the very least I may grab Megatron due to a fondness for dinosaurs.

    On a beast-mode related note, in my efforts to better appreciate robots I already own I played around a bit more with TR Alpha Trion.

    I won't pretend to understand why one of his alt modes is a poorly articulated lionicorn, but I can't complain too much since I only paid £7 for him back when Tesco was trying to get rid of their Titans Returns stock. Didn't really know much about the character when I bought him but I've read up a bit more on him since so I'm happy to keep him around as a mentor to other bots who will probably just end up stealing his cool sword.

    Do ID didn't get the Pit? Wonder who did? Hasbro confirmed to me (posted the images) that it would be.

    They confirmed they are getting all the exclusives that the US/Canada has on Pulse so far, with a pre-order date of Friday, and actual launch date of Monday?:

    This makes more sense. Interesting Hasbro UK still said this would be available though. I know who I'm chatting to tomorrow morning!

    The Facebook post was posted above me. ID said Hasbro UK didn’t get it. Wouldn’t be the first time ID got bad info (remember exclusive Cheetor?)

    Is there anyone that could pick this up for me as I'm at school at 12pm on Monday? I'll try to get my mum to do it for me but she's... Unreliable in regards to this sort of stuff.

    sigh....

    why can't they pull off a less segmented looking Nosecone! my major gripe with Hasbro Cyclonus offering is the way they did the nosecone it ruins the sleek silhouette, in fact the only time we got a decent nosecone was in combiner wars and that was attached to a body that was not Cyclonus.

    but the bot mode is good enough I'm most likely picking one up and that Megatron look sweet.
