    I just remembered, last time they did this with Thrust and Dirge somebody figured out how to make the actual pics appear; is that possible with this?

    Gentei means "exclusive" and is a pun on "henkei," and henkei means "transform".

    I love Technobots if they really go in that direction! :drool: 

    But I know I'll hate paying for this when it gets all EXCLUSIVE. :( 

    WHY are there so many LEs in Henkei? Life's hard for a completist in that category. (Sigh!)

    I wouldn't mind a credit card like that. Hopefully Strafe has remolded head.

    man, there has got to be a way for us to get that Strafe figure. The Technobots were my first merge group to collect. I'd love a classics version.

    As expected the card will be next to impossible to get unless you apply for one yourself, i.e. live in Japan. So probably no Megs card for me :(  (but I'm working on it)

    There aren't any further details for Strafe or the Microns yet, post when I know.

    I'm definitely picking up that Strafeclonus if I can. I <3 that mold.

    Quick Hasbro Beat takara to the punch and release a Cyclonus redeco that is readily available, cheaper and all around better than Strafe. That way I can get one without paying scalpers and my children won't starve! ;)

    Strafe - as in the Technobot - a repainted Cyclonus? WTF?

    I guess Cyclonus isn't a mold that lends itself to be used for several characters, but Strafe?

    That's the only way such a repaint would make sense to me.

    Just living in Japan won't give you a card I imagine. You probably have to be legally adult (20 years old) or at least 18 or so with steady income.

    Imagine a 13 year old talking to his mum...
    "Oka~san, can you get yourself a credit card and give me the card number? Oh, I'll just use it to buy some exclusive toy (some more possible member only purchases, but mum doesn't have to know about it for now). I can even access to the member only site to play online RPG!"

    :lol 

    Good luck on scoring the card :)
