    You've probably already seen our first souvenir set preview, featuring the Golden Disks...

    With just FOUR days left for Iacon One convention pre-registration, it's time to unveil the third piece in our souvenir accessory set - the 'Disk Projector'.

    THE DISK PROJECTOR:

    [​IMG]

    This accessory is designed for use with the Transmetal Megatron toy; just swap out the claw on the end of his tail for the projector, and insert either the 'Voyager' or 'Alien' disk. The projector holds the disk in place for display, and you can spin the disk inside it!

    Now, with the projector, YOU can reveal the secrets of the Golden Disks- precious artifacts with the power to change the future, and control the destiny of the universe* :

    We've teamed up with Unicron.com to produce this extremely limited collector's edition set for Iacon One 2006 and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Beast Wars.... These golden disks and projector are a must have for every "Beast Wars" fan, and quantities are limited, so don't miss your chance to own this marvel of fan engineering! Order your set now for just $20 with Iacon One pre-registration!

    (*Disclaimer: disks and projector are collectible toy accessories.
    They do not actually have the power to reveal secrets, change the future, or control the destiny of the universe... or DO they?)

    I love this set!! My question, to anyone really, is how easy does the claw come off of Megatron's tail?

    Too bad My TM Megs died of old age. Snapped in two while just sitting in a box.

    Considering how brittle TsM Megatrons have become, I see this little accessory sparking a little run up on these toys.
    Between toys breaking from the added playtime and the new ones needed for people who will now want one for the first time to go with the accessory.

    Honestly, I'm not sure this was the best choice of toys to make an accessory for...Hopefully it also fits the Armada version...

    I can't see why this wouldn't work in Armada Predacon. His tail isn't any different than TM Megatron. These souvenier sets really rock and I hope there leftovers available for purchase online.

    It's not bad. There's a ball joint under the claw piece, so it just pops out with a good tug. Fortunately, the tail doesn't seem as fragile as some of the other pieces on TM Megatron... I broke the arm off one of mine a few months back at the shoulder just trying to transform him normally. Fortunately I had a spare. :)

    Now this is an exclusive I'd love to have...too bad I won't be going to the convention. Maybe I'll have to scour ebay after the fact and snag the set...as long as it won't cost me a testicle or three.

    Had something similar happen to my Megs, but with mine it was his shoulder itself. The part that makes up his dino chest, or half of it anyway. Had to get another one. Good thing is I still have the first one to practice taking off the claw.

    Can't wait to get this set.:thumb
