WHAT?!
 

 

Can we get Shattered Glass Beachcomber, olive green and grey?

 

I’d love to see updated micro masters that are compatible with g1 trailers. Like Erector and Overload.

 

He looks so miserable...But I guess I would be too if I had been in the midst of a four million year+ war...

 

A tiny baby Beachcomber. Like... tiny.

I am impressed, Dr Wu. Might have to look into these...

 

Where are you guys going to order from?

 

BBTS is where I have my pre-orders in at. I think there are other shops that offer also.

 

Show-Z is cheaper, by a few bucks.

 

I don't understand why beachcomber was bundled with soundwave. I only want soundwave  

 

I really love that face sculpt. I don’t know exactly why, but I do.

 

Shipping added still is price competitive or..what? I can see if avoid tax then it would save a few dollars then maybe, but if shipping is more then it is a wash for me. I typically have a true pile to ship before I ship the stuff--not just one item.

 

It's true! Leader-1 and Crasher were the first prototypes shown:

Mech Fans Toys upcoming figures

Not sure if the line is dead [since there haven't been any updates that I'm aware of in almost a year], but I'd absolutely buy 2 of everything they released.

 

Sometimes, yes... like when they were involved in 'The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!'




But many other times, they were depicted as regular-sized transformers appropriate to their Alt-Mode.

From the TF Wiki:

Full-sized Micromasters

For various reasons, Micromaster characters have occasionally shown up in Transformers fiction as full-sized robots in scale with regular Cybertronians.

• Flak and Sunrunner in Marvel Comics' UK story, Aspects of Evil
• Countdown, Groundshaker, and Skyhopper in Dreamwave's Generation 1 comics
• Flak, Countdown, Vanquish, Terror-Tread, Cement-Head, and Tread Bolt in the Wingsverse
• Countdown, Fixit, Tailwind, Barricade, Grit, Knockout, Vanquish, Stakeout, Blackjack, Oiler, and Slide in IDW's 2005-2018 comics
• Big Daddy in Shattered Glass
• The Battle Squad in Regeneration One
• Tread Bolt, Sky High, and Blaze Master as Master Class in United EX
• Visper, Storm Cloud, Flak, Stakeout, Fixit, Hyperdrive, Blackjack, Tracer, Skystalker, and Groundbuster in IDW's 2019 comics

So there's really no 'right' answer - just enjoy MicroMasters however they work best for YOU!

I prefer them as their own unique scale, so adding tiny versions of iconic guys like Optimus and Soundwave into their ranks just works for me.

Heck, even official figures went this route, with a MicroMaster version of Hot Rod included in the Japan-exclusive Star Convoy base:

 

Yeah I have the MS ones too, but do you have an itty bitty little baby Beachcomber / Soundwave?

At ShowZ there's no tax and shipping to USA is free!! Usually reaches within 2 weeks, and they get product much sooner than others, so by the time a local US retailer gets there stock, ShowZ already has delivered it to you.

 

Cute little Beachcomber! Nice!

 

thank you! now I'm sad.

 

The trouble with these guys is you dont know their level of commitment. I am so tempted by micromasters, the mft mini gobots and these it is hard to tell if this is a one off thing or what...

 

Yeah, I keep scanning the Weibo responses for clues to how many more or which characters might be coming. I remember the Insecticon Targetmasters that Dr. Wu showed off, six years ago or more?
I don't want to get too excited until the pre-orders actually go up for Blaster and Ironhide (and I would guess the eventual Twincast and Ratchet remold/repaints). It sounds like characters that appeared in the '86 movie are the main focus.

 

how tall are these guys to the old HASBRO LEGENDS size guys. Do these guys fit in that scale ?

 

Show.Z email. Got these on the way!

These are Micromaster scale, so they wouldn't fit with legends if that's what you're looking for.
