    Cute novelty I guess.

    But to be honest there is some parts of the Movieverse that could do with tiny toys like this such as "The Kitchen Crew" or Brains.

    I guess he might scale OK with the Magic Circus Cassettes & Insecticons. I'll have to see what the pricing is like before I decide to jump in with both feet or not on this "new scale" which seems to be smaller even than New Age magic Squares smaller scale items.

    It does look a bit better than the tiny Soundwave though.

    I like it, but they could have made those elbows ball joints.

    I think I remember the DW micromasters having some big boys volunteering to be shrunk down to conserve power. Maybe I'm remembering wrong. It's been a while.

    I wouldn't mind all of the mini bots going micro if they are this quality, though I'm not sure what cons you would pick to put against them.

    Dr. Wu could probably pull off a Runamuck and Runabout at this scale; their transformations are pretty simple. And they would work well with Trypticon.

    this looks fairly cool. might be tempted to get this if priced low enough just for the fun of it.

    Okay wow I was under the impression these would be yet another legend scaled release. Holy smokes they are not and honestly I'm kind of giddy that they are MM scaled. Beachcomber looks great so far. My only concern would be price. Soundwave is already $30 and I don't think I could really get behind getting these guys if that's the baseline price. I'm pretty crazy for MM and WST but that's just too much.

    That said if Dr Wu does Cosmos and a Sharkticon at this scale that would be an instant buy.

    Hm...Might be interesting to use as Delta Magnus cut off buggy, for the Mp....after a repaint ofc.

    Now if they are so committed in that micromaster line, I want to see some real bases and not the official excuses for a base...

    So looking at TFSource it looks like Beachcomber will comes with Soundwave. That would be my preference anyways. Now I need to pick up some Micromaster bases and two packs.

    That actually changes my perception. Cool as these looked, I wasn't going to bother because of that price for what I thought was an "each" amount. This info has me paying closer attention.

    They do need to be Micromaster compatible for me to really be interested, which it looks like they are. I combined all my MM, Minicon and WST figures a while ago, so expanding that group with these would be fun.

    Did not know that, honestly I was going off of what TCP and BBTS had listed and when I posted there wasn't any indication it would be a two fig set deal. That said still iffy. Really rather not have to get a fig I don't want just to get one I do.

    I'm all in on these. I preordered this set and Prime. I got the Galvatron/Soundblaster set sitting on my desk at work, and I keep picking them up and transforming them all the time. Simple and fun toy to mess with. Kind of like a fidget toy.

    Still trying to figure out the scale, but Galvatron and Soundblaster look right in robot mode in my Tomytec N scale cityscape. Not sure what the scale of the vehicles will be. I'm hoping they might work in my 1/64 dioramas.

    Weirdly really been anticipating these guys even though it means another scale to collect.
    Maybe he'll have some updates on the Ironhide and Blaster that teased too.

    We have the Galvatron and Soundblaster set. They are exactly WFC Micro / Battle Masters scale, if that helps. If you have the Earthrise Deluxe base bots, then you can have a quick scaled base setup for them. Of course, Scorponok also works better with the Micro Master scaling.
