    Had Titan Masters been released with this articulation i'd have jumped into the line completely. I've been waiting for fully articulated headmasters since 1988. You better believe i'm interested.

    TF-compatible Stikfas? Sign me the heck up.
    I’d love to see how they scale with MP human Miniatures.

    One came with their Skyfire. I just finished building it and it was a real pain in the butt. Not so bad that I wouldn't buy more, but it definitely wasn't fun. Still, I'd love more colors so that I can mix and match and give them some more character.

    By all looks of the matter, two come packed in with their Teletraan 1 set.

    If I could buy a 10pack of these with each sprue in the ROYGBIV spectrum plus white, black, and clear for about $10 I'd replace every last TM I have with these guys and pasted-over faces.

    I'd very much like to buy a few of these guys. I think they'd go great with Metroplex and Trypticon.

    I really don't think a 10 pack would be that cheap, but if it were I'd add a 10 pack or 2 to every order I place for the next year or so.

    Might be good to use them as 'civilians' for the citybots and the odd G1 base mode....curious.

    Needs paint though....But I think a brush can fix that.

    I would be perfectly happy just with a touch of paint on the visors, and bi-colored parts from mixing two kits up. Anything more than that would be an extravagance, imho.

    Maybe. At that scale slapping some colours is relatively easy so I suspect even if they leave them as is they can be turned into a DIY project.

    I noticed in a review for the X-2 toys Optimus that that set comes with a red one of the little fellas.

    Speaking of which does that X2 Dlx Optimus have it's own thread yet ?

    There was apparently some news, or at least some advertising, regarding the Reserved Soldier line at TFCON 2018 - can't post a link (hi, I'm new here), but there's images attached to the relevant thread here on the boards. Based on the panel slide alone, it looks like they are expanding the line to include a skeletal "bad guy" figure, variant head sculpts, weapons/accessories, and armor attachments.

    Anyone know any concrete details? Is there still a possibility that these will be available to the US market?
