    Yes, but we needed a separate thread for this release anyways (one thread per figure). It'll be easier to keep figure specific updates / info here.

    Could the individual bots' thread titles be edited to include "Guardia" (and maybe Not-Defensor), so that a search for Guardia etc, brings up all the relevant threads?

    Thanks for editing the original post. I wasn't sure who this guy was.

    Engineering and design-wise, an amazing effort. Scale-wise I don't like it how he's bigger than Bumblebee in both modes.

    That looks pretty friggen cool.

    For someone who has not kept up with Guardia, and who might like to pick up this one only, about how big is the bot mode ya think??

    edit: Nevermind. BBTS has it listed as 6.3 inches. That's a good size!
    No desire for the Protectobots in any way, but this is just a rad looking Transformer.

    Limb-bots are same size as the Giant bots. So bigger than the Intimidator or Quantron bots. But the combined form is engineered to be the same size as Intimidator and Quantron.

    Wonder why the pre-orders for this guy and the other one haven't made the TFW2005 front page?

    I wonder if he's the hardest to transform among the 5 bots. MT's combiners always have one bot designated as the team's Rubik's Cube.

    So does this mean they're bucking the Giant/Quantron trend and individually releasing? I'm not a Defensor guy, but I am in lust with this Axle figure, and would absolutely get him.

    He's a VFR800P! I almost bought the consumer model! I lust after this guy so bad, I'm ecstatic I can get him alone... I dunno if I'll get the rest of the set since I'll have the CW one. That said I think I like the overall aesthetics better so I probably will.

    Uh, dude, he is up for preorder at most retailers for $65, along with Rover (the other leg). They will all get individual release.
