It dawned on me, they're totally going for a Beyblade thing aren't they?

How much are these pretties supposed to retail for?

I'm gonna guess $9.99. I know your up Nort, so same as a Legends, but thats just a guess. I hope they're a little cheaper.NuclearConvoy wrote:Cobotron wrote:These look so awesome. I love me some little energon critters.

I think it's more like bacugan due to the one step transformation from a basic geometric shape.
And they will retail for 4.99$ us each.

Or indeed the redesigned casseticons from Fall of Cybertron:

Do you have a quote? Because those animals were shown at the toyfair during the presentation.

Scorpinok could be a future main character perhaps.

I'd love that, particularly if they made his head somewhere between BY and G1 Scorponok.

Unfortunately they weren't shown there either. They told us about that feature on the show floor and laughed about how they forgot to really bring that up anywhere else

Thanks Scotty, I thought they were shown based on the written presentation feed, my mistake. I know you and Ryan were laughing while saying that they will probably not be in the instructions either. Do you guys think that will actually be the case?

Wouldn't surprise me, I think they view it as more of an Easter Egg than an actual selling point.

Too bad, I love this kind of stuff and if hardcore collectors knew of this it might encourage them to get them all for the extra figure. Akin to the Marvel build a figure waves which I know Jon thought should be implemented in the Transformers line.

It'd be neat if they could do an actual transforming Collect-and-build figure.

Following yesterday's pictures, we now have a few more showing for the first time how the main Deployer figure (in this case Drift) can use the clear weapons reserved for the minicon. We also see how the minicon can plug into the deployer while still wearing the clear gear. This also gives us a great comparison to the Warrior Drift figure. The photos were found on autobase aichi's blog site Snakas.
Deployers Drift has a nice headsculpt.

Pleeeaase edit your quotes everyone. It sucks to have to scroll through and see a multi-picture news story quoted, especially when its followed by a one sentence response.NuclearConvoy wrote:Deployers Drift has a nice headsculpt.

Is it just me or does this alt mode look like the Ride Chasers from the Mega Man X games? I learned their names just now.shajaki wrote:

Well, neither Drift nor Fracture scanned an Earth altmode in the show, so their being in their Cybertronian forms would fit.shajaki wrote:S'kinda what I figured after seeing those two bikes togetherJelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Anybody getting the idea that the Deployers are meant to be their Cybertronian forms?
Yes, he is a hoverbike.Cobotron wrote:I forget, is Fracture an earth motorcycle in the show? I thought he was a hover bike.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Anybody getting the idea that the Deployers are meant to be their Cybertronian forms?

I just watched AOE over the weekend and he never used that thing as a sword. I think it's just a funny looking gun.

TBH, if anyone would try to use the thing as a sword, they would be seriously disapointed. However, as a club...

That was the joke. It is a sword but its too big for him (legendary weapon and all that), so he uses it as a gun.

While the Hyperchange line will never be called the peak of Transformers engineering, Steeljaw is a fine figure and in my opinion the best representation of the character thus far. Transformation is limited to three steps, but due to the magic of automorph a lot happens in those three steps creating a very nice looking robot. Obviously this figure is made for smaller hands but a collector might find enjoyment as a desk toy.

I don't think he meant it that way. It is worth noting that Mega OP has a lot of articulation for a 3-Step Changer. Though it's still only in his arms.

Oh yeah, its Takara leader price. Everyting is in the Takara TAV thread. Sadly, the toy is already sold out from the japanese importer.
