Actually, Madeus Prime beat you to it. By several hours. I now have to amend the post and the news on the front page.
Thank you for your submission, though. I'm sorry no one said thank you sooner, because we do appreciate it.

It's no problem, to be honest, clarification is all I wanted; I'm not really competing or anything.

Oh no. I get it, I completely understand. I'd be a bit PO'ed myself. But please keep sending in submissions, if it's something we can use, we'll do it.

We still do not know if these will be available in north america or even available through BBTS since the listings have been pulled. So far, all that is left available to be ordered for anyone living outside Brazil is Bumblebee.
Enjoy the Megatron review from Baltmatrix which Hellscream999 sent our way!
I'm really kicking myself that I didn't jump on the entire line when BBTS had them. Don't know if/when I'll see the rest if ever.

They don't need to give RID a rest... I still need my deluxe thunderhoof
They just need to stop kidding themselves that the stupid brick sh$t is an acceptable alternative to these, scrap that line and use the residual budget from that line to give all these figures appropriate articulation and paint apps

Eh, I'm not very bothered. all of my figures are either standing straight up or in vehicle mode most of the time, and I can live with no knees when playing with them

I am inclined to agree. I like these guys so much more than the 1 and 3 step stuff. And the Warrior numbers need to be bigger

I would be too. All the reviews I've seen seem to indicate positive reaction for those not obsessed with posability

Well, I'm happy for you, I cannot fairly say that, since they don't have knee's, they don't deserve to exist - because I know many collectors don't pose their figures. So I guess this works out really well for you

I don't want to get people's hopes up but, I have a feeling that closer to Christmas these will magically appear on shelves. These figures would make a GREAT Christmas present.

I'd still take these over the quick change garbage any day
However, I do acknowledge that they have a certain lackluster nature about them - combining a lack of paint and nearly non-existent articulation (as a whole set) to make a very mediocre line. All of which could easily be fixed by scrapping the quick change bricks and using that money to give these guys articulation and paint apps

Starscream looks well done. Never been a big fan of G1 Starscream myself but I can see his fans being more than happy with that toy.

As fellow Seibertron staffer william-james88 said in the Megatron news piece, "So far, all that is left available to be ordered for anyone living outside Brazil is Bumblebee." Which seems to be the case, but he's also one of the ones who hasn't received much in the way of fanfare or reviews (outside of a few written ones) and that's all about to change because Baltmatrix just posted a video review of the Cyber Commander Class Bumblebee!
This is the larger Bumblebee figure from the line and comes in at nearly 10 inches tall! Is this Bumblebee a worthy addition to your collection? Check out Baltmatrix's review to find out, which you can do in the embed below:

Also, the reviewer ignore that this headsculpt is a hommage to the original G1 toy.

Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for checking out my reviews!
I was able to nab Grimlock, Megs, BB and Prime from BBTS. They had a few in stock and I swooped in to get them (mostly thanks to an email notification I got on my phone in the middle of a meeting at work).
Sadly they are all out of stock right now but here's hoping folks who want them will be able to get them easily.

_______________
"Green in the video" Nothing about SS looks Green, Its A beautiful Powder-Blue. An A nicely painted version of it I might add.
Imo, Nothing beats the classic SS color scheme.
That figure also has the newer IDW King Starscream design with the more direct, linear, imbedded nose-cone (see: Transformers RiD vol.5 Cvr.?).
Yup, good vid. Maybe less purple-prose next time. But thanx.

Through my lens it looks like a very faint sea-foam green. In all honesty it looks like the color blue that my bathroom wall now is. Good catch with the nose cone, it does cut a very regal pose no?

At retail price? No clue. Chosen Prime has them in stock at a markup: http://www.thechosenprime.com/New-Arriv ... 1-2-4.htmlSeibertron wrote:Anyone know where you can get these guys now or how to search for them on eBay?
EDIT: Slightly cheaper at Transfan2's site. Not a super common shop but he's legit.
Posted by RAR on August 31st, 2015 @ 12:41pm CDT
Due to the way EBay doesn't make things terrible visible you might have to do it by the local sites to even find them.

it wouldnt be worth it, the way the exchange rate is. The figures in Brazil and on their sites are the same if not more expensive than the ones in the links above.
Posted by RAR on August 31st, 2015 @ 4:47pm CDT
But if they are all sold out at many Importers EBay Might be some's only option now. (unless said importers can re-stock or the Battalion line gets picked up by Target or TRU say).
It's a bit like the situation there was with some of the Kre-o and Constructbots - matching the location with the customer is tricky.

I'm new to this discussion thread and I've seen that there haven't been any news for a whole while here.
So do we have any information now if and when this line is going to be released or is it canceled?
I know that Takara is going to downsize and retool those figures but I definitely want the version of this Megs.

2 things.
1. Takara is not downsizing them, what you see are small model kits made by a candy company that take inspiration from these deisngs. Its like kinder surprise toys that you can build.
2. The Hasbro toys came out last year but were only available in south america. You could have ordered them from robot kingdom though since they may have been available in asia as well (though I am not sure of that). These were more like GDO toys.

If you look back a few pages in the thread I did a review of Starscream. It's a fantastic figure. Is it overly articulated? No, but that doesn't make it any less fun.
