    Someone at High Moon must love MP01. Does anyone else see the resemblance (except for the ginormous arms)?

    Why in god's name aren't the "hideously ugly, yet on the other hand, completely inaccurate" mainline toy colors G2 instead? Christ, I would kick a puppy for a G2 Brut in plastic. Won't preorder the game without a working XBox, but I'd be doing it at Amazon if so.

    It's a texture file that is applied to the appropriate character, in game, to make it look different than the default.

    Ok so ... these are supposed to make us want to preorder at a specific location ... right? Right? Because I am so not feeling it.

    :lol  I only speak the truth. Demolisher was NOT as cool as Jazz or Shockwave.

    G1 Optimus is where its at. If Gamestop didn't charge so much for international orders, I'd order through them, but G2 Bruticus it is:( 

    Though I too hope there's a collector's edition in the works.

    Not for a little while. Remember when people were spending stupid amounts of money for demolisher and jazz codes? And who the heck wants to pay for an unlock code for information already stored on the disk in the first place?
