    I'd settle for his head in a jar as an accessory. Japan seems quite keen on Straxus, he got a United release and has featured in their version of powercore combiners as well as being in the comic with this years generations book.

    C'mon Takara sort it out.

    I'd hope Fanstoys pick him up tbh. Straxus with the heft/chunkiness of Quakewave would be fantastic and I reckon they'd be safe from any official version.

    Bloody awesome :thumb 

    Yeah, I was about to say an MP Straxus should come with his own head in a jar as an accessory, I'd fight people in the street to own that. So they should only make five.

    The Marvel comics smelting pool story with straxus, blaster and scrounge was, and still is, one of my favourite tf comic stories. If i could have masterpice versions of them i'd be a very happy man :D

    Edit: Dukes, we did a lot of these guys from the same angles / ideas.

    Edit 2: Double dukes, forgot Ravage's ears.

    DUDE! Amazing! Love it!

    Weird that we approached so many of them in the same way... Reckon your Brainstorm might be better than mine. Just 'looks' like him!

    As if you're going to resist. Hexatron is up there with Quakewave. In fact, Quakewave is probably the one 3rd Party figure currently out there that surpasses him. They're both way ahead of the game in terms of design, build quality and pricing.

    They're all great, but Shitbot is something else. I know fellas like him.
    Do you mind me using Straxus as me avatar?

    Anyone know if kapow still has Takara Metroplex still avaliable. I've looked but in its broken state can't find it
