What a waste, when there is still the dark blue Deepcover version to do.

What a waste, when there is still the dark blue Deepcover version to do.
Then there will be the Plus Xtra line where they release versions to match all the famous animation errors.
Then there'll be a Ramjet with a fully black head limited to 500 pieces and cost 2 arms and a leg. And possibly something more personal :p
I initially thought so too for Ramjet but doubt it now, the face is actually quite dark but it has a really glossy metallic finish, thus any light shining on it makes it seems lighter than it isQuote:

Just wait on Mp-10, MP-13 and MP-7
People will start justifying which is better etc....
What gives alarm bells here is "Anime Color Edition" in simple terms they had a discussion on which direction Mps should take.
Comedy gold :D:DQuote:

On one hand the fan rage is highly amusing, on the other hand I completely understand it because, like, WTF Takara???????
After sleeping on it, I've worked out that my trepidation is based on the uncertainty of how Takara plans future releases, especially for new molds. Will they release anime AND toy colourings at the same time? Or will they only release one, with no hint of the other in the near future? Thus playing on collector's compulsiveness just so they can have a representation of a sought after figure.
Red Alert is an interesting figure given there are more prominent figures to try. Perhaps Takara are testing the waters first with an easy figure to see how the market goes.
I wouldn't be surprised if they end up offering both 'toon and toy colours (although maybe not at the same time) -- it satisfies the repaint requirement and exploits completionists who must buy both!
There are 5 versions
G1 Toy accurate
Anime colours
Masterpiece realistic version (what all your sideswipe red, etc.)
Diaclone
Exclusives > Eva, Bape etc...
That's a lot of money to be made!Quote:

+1 The white was a let down.Quote:

It reminds me of Disney releasing The Force Awakens blu ray next week, but making those who want 3D wait or buy two versions.
Except you know that a 3D release is a given, whereas this 14+ release was completely unexpected, and we are completely in the dark if any others will ever be releasedQuote:

They may remold the head to make Breakdown. And then there is the G2 version of him too :p
I was on the fence about getting this... But I will. The colours do look very nice, better than the original IMHO. I even have a place for him in one of my Deltofs :p
I wonder when PC will put up a preorder
already counting the numbers as we speak.Quote:

clampdown was 99.95 i think. So i presume this one will be a similar price. Still gonna get it as i'm all about screen accuracy :o
The only cheaper option is our dear jetfire in the sky gets some and sell them here on the boards.
Where was this specified?Quote:

Sweet, I just pre-ordered it. It's free shipping to my Tenso address so will probably work out to around $120-$130 all up delivered to Australia. While this is higher than what it will sell for at PC, I wanted to use this as a test run for ordering from TakaraTomyMall. So when MP-11SW Skywarp comes out as an exclusive I'll know what I'm doing. ;)Quote:
