Pssst. Hasbro. Can we get the Targetmasters here in the US?

Also, they're still releasing cards for those arcade games?

I'm not too thrilled about all the red on Henkei Megatron, but the United version does look very dull. Haven't a clue which one to go for. I also agree that the lack of red on Straxus isn't that grand. He looks like Little Boy Blue in a bad mood.
And as for MP-09... Am I mistaken, or is that the circular saw AND his welding torch in the same arm?? That's progress right there.

WolfDawg wrote:Sorry, but that grey is just WAY too dark for Megatron. I'll take his Generations incarnation any day over the United version. I'm also not digging United Straxus. Not enough red.
It matches how he looks in the game, and Straxus was pretty devoid of red at times.

Nah, that'd stink. Targetmasters need to be solid.

This is all things we've seen for Rodimus before due to the scans of Generations 2010.
You're not going to get the Targetmasters here because they're still linked to the larger figures. Takara has no problem throwing away or recycling those parts (as they did it for Minicons in the past) but Hasbro has never done anything like that before.

Nah, he's dark gray.

Don't - Need - Trai - Ler *clap - clap - clap clap clap*
Sorry, felt like starting a chant. Seriously, whats up MP Rodimus' trailer, man? We're talking $200+ plus shipping! All the more reason to wait for Hasbro's iteration. Out of the scans, I'll contemplate the acquisition of United Goldbug... on clearance... maybe... with free shipping... actually... scratch that...

The United version of the missle carrier is a definate improvement over the US/Europe version.
Im liking WFC Megatron as he is more game accurate being that dirty worn in colour is fitting. Considering how lots of people belly ache about acuracy im suprised more people aren't excited about this colour scheme.
As for those Minicons, they are store exclusives you get them for free if you buy enough United products at certain stores on certain days so will be VERY expensive on the secondary market.

lol. You know, that's a very good point. I've been debating it myself, but I think if I do pass on Rodimus Prime, I'll regret it. I still wish I had Convoy's trailer. Of course, I bought mine before MP-04 even came out, but still. Wish I had it.

So they did reference the opening CG for the metal plates on OP's chest, huh? Black instead of metallic silver.
IMO, horrible color choices. Glad I bought my Hasbro's instead of waiting for TakTomy.
In any case, I'm glad they actually decided to make use of all those 5mm pegs all over OP's bot mode. Too bad those Targetmasters won't come with OP, though.

Rodimus - This is the first time I'd seen some of these things in the news threads. SO, for those of us that don't frequent the forums too much, this is new.
Targetmasters - Did you mean that the Targetmasters are still attached to the PCC being sold here in the US? I didn't recognize them until I opened my Icepick. So, I see what you mean. I bet I could have some fun with some silver Sharpie and make my own.

If you think SW and TF fans are ungrateful, I suggest you stay away from Games Workshop fans. GW can't do anything without people complaining about prices/business practices/the fact that they could care less about their fans, regardless of how relevant it is to the actual discussion.
Seriously, it's like every single person on GW fan sites think they're suffering some sort of gamer variety of beaten wife or stockholm syndrome.
OT, wish I could afford MP Roddy. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until summer of '11.

And... I want that Straxus so bad.
