    It really makes no sense if each figure comes with only 1 launcher

    I think it's safe to say that the current economical crisis has affected the Autobot ranks too lol

    The captions in the vehicle mode pics do say that each figure will come with only 1 launcher. That way, you'd have to buy both MP-17 and 18 from Amazon JP to get a full set.

    They look better on Prowl than on Bluestreak, I hope Dr Wu has these up for order soon, they're awesome!

    The standard releases to have screen accurate shoulder weapons.

    Just throwing this out there, but does anyone else see Jazz's shoulder rocket in these more than prowl or streaks???

    I was thinking that myself. It looks strikingly similar to Jazz's G1 toy shoulder cannon.

    Correct me if I am wrong.

    MP Prowl should not have shoulder blasters.

    MP Bluestreak comes with shoulder blasters that match the look of those on the show.

    The exclusive is a shoulder blaster that does not resemble the look of the show (but it does resemble the toy) and you only get one per figure.

    If all that is correct then I care not for the Amazon exclusive.

    This sits well with me because I already ordered AND I can use more reasons to cut out as much as possible. MP's are a must, Amazon exclusives are a great way to save money. :) 


    Do we know if these guys are coming with a cool lil extra like SS hammers and RA crazy sparks?

    The exclusive missiles look ok. If Dr. Wu releases a set of G1 toy accurate launchers I'll pick them up for Prowl, but I can live without them.

    Both Prowl and Bluestreak have screen-accurate to Bluestreak launchers integrated into them that can fold away. The amazon exclusives are launchers that more resemble what the toys had, that can clip on when the screen-accurate ones are folded away.

    Well something is weird. Both pictures with the Amazon JP launchers attached don't show the built-in launchers folded back. I wonder if they're hollow and actually mount ON the built-in launchers.

    Anyway, does anyone know where to get these if you're not in Japan? They don't ship overseas, I remember some online retailers used to offer amazon JP exclusives but I can't find them anymore.

    How can you tell they're not there? Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see what tells that they're folded away in the earlier pics of Prowl..

    Robotkingdom usually offers them for $10 over their usual price, but then they lack coins.

    I mean in the new pictures, with the amazon jp launchers. The built-in launchers are not folded back.

    Thanks, I'll check their website. I need these launchers badly.

    EDIT: Robotkingdom is offering only the regular release. Any other place offering these with the amazon jp launchers?

    Possibly. The first close up picture of the launcher by itself does appear to have a channel in the launcher that could accommodate the integrated launchers.

    Then you're not buying the amazon versions. For some reason the coin is missing from Robot Kingdom if you get them, which is a bit sad considering you're paying $10 extra.
