A tiny boombox-mode Blaster that he can carry.

Those are good ideas. The Pretender shell is a very interesting one. Maybe they'll read these comments and take notes.

Diem, you should copywrite these ideas now. They'll be products in a couple of months if you don't.

The last one is already a go from the same people who brought us the WSTF Dinos. I dunno if he can carry it, but ... he might be able to. Alt Tracks can.

100 times no.

Seconded. I agree, these after-market adds are getting downright ridiculous. In a target market this precise, you can't have a single failure or it could doom the company. This looks like failure. There are definitely better things to make...though none strike me right now 4 whiskey doubles into the evening.

Well, here's their site: http://www.igear.tf08.net/

I thought they got that autoroller shipping, but I could be wrong....

Not sure about autoroller, but they're the same people behind that "city commander" Ultra Magnus trailer that attaches to him ala g1 style.

Actually, it was fansproject that did City Commander, and two separate companies have each done their own autoroller, one of which is more show-accurate than the other

Oh crap, I knew that, I own one of those city commander trailers... what I guess threw me off was that igear is making an addon for that same city commander set. A new head, missile launchers for the shoulders (as far as I know they don't fire, they're there for show), a sword, and maybe another accessory or two for Magnus. I think that covers most of it for that set (possible a more g1-esque ultra magnus rifle, correct me if I'm wrong on this).

Why spend money on that stuff the only thing worth getting is the crown and you could make a nice one yourself out of yellow paper

Why can't the MP SS cape and crown set be $14.99??? I'd love to get it at that rate (although right now really broke). Sux.

I hope H will release Grim stateside. I'm sure many others share this sentiment.

I hope so too, as long as we find out before I purchase the MP. :lol:

Regarding Starscream's coronation gear, I got mine for that much, but it might've been on sale at BBTS. I'm pretty sure the regular price isn't that much more.

I'm glad this set came out. Takara promised a crown! When they didn't come through I was disappointed. At least with a crown I might very well use it on Grimlock. As opposed to the intelligence downloader, which I couldn't care less about.

I also liked Starscream's Coronation set (although I think they made the tabs on the shoulder pads incorrectly ... I'm pretty sure the tabs were meant to move along with the arm ... that would increase the range of motion). Starscreams death was my favorite moment from the movie and now ... it exists in a grand scale.

It's a small thing, but it really annoyed me that it wasn't included in the set. The plane is a nice touch. I guess they added the mug in just for the sake of adding in a third item.

O.k. I only know about the G1 cartoon cause I dont read comic books. But what the hell does a crown, beer mug, and a mini-thrust have to do with Grimlock ??? Did I miss a really dumb bonus episode that was not included in the G1 series I bought ???

The Crown is from the Marvel Comics, and the mini-Thrust is from the opening credits of G1 season 2. I have no clue on the beer mug though, I've been trying to figure that one out myself....

The beer mug is from Maccadam's old oil house. I don't have many Marvel comics issues, so I dunno if Grimmy spent any time there, but that's the reference.

You can actually see the mug at that page. Not that it's especially special or anything....
