Is that accurate? No guns for Frenzy in habsro version, only pile drivers?

They have guns. They're inside the piledrivers...

EDIT: Ninja'd 2 guys at once.

Better pictures revealed that they are indeed included, they're simply plugged into the Piledrivers - Which doesn't when they're on a white background.

Frenzy & Rumbles hand guns ARE included with the Hasbro version.

The guns are in the pile drivers, they can be stored in there

The fascinating thing about this Hasbro set is that it contains over half of the first year's Decepticons in it... and when the JP version versions were released, it actually completed the entire first year of 10 Decepticon toys as Masterpiece. (we had Megatron and the three seekers first)
Of the 18 Autobots though in the first year, we only have 4 so far (Optimus, Sideswipe, Prowl, Bluestreak).

I can understand if there might be more Autobot MP toys, because despite the run of them lately, the designers might be trying to focus on first year characters first and then work their way through each year.

Quite an intriguing fact there griffin. We don't know who MP20 is yet, and they did say somewhere it will be a big announcement.

There has been rumours about indeed the designers wanting to focus more on the first year Auto/Decep only... oooh Id like to see Jazz and Wheeljack in Mp versions. Though wouldn't they need to get licensing for them though? Volks still is quite not agreeable still? Another interesting MP if this rumour proves true would be Hound with all his accessories - hope they make it storeable somewhere in him. Id like to get them to pose him duking it out with Frenzy for a promo pic heheh.

Canada vs Oz
From here:

Masterpiece Soundwave SKU043130 - $119.99
Masterpiece Acid Storm SKU043128 - $69.99
Generations Titan Metroplex SKU043106 - $99.99
Prime Plat. Ed Ultra Magnus SKU038196 - $69.99
Prime Ultimate Dragon SKU043112 - $59.99
Prime 16'' Figure SKU038183 - $29.99

The price difference makes me

Ultra Magnus with the target sale is probably Oz's only win pricewise

Does TRU Canada ship to Oz?

The lighter color on Hasbro's could also be lighting but given the trend, chances are that it is lighter like MP-10 Optimus.

Does TRU Canada ship to Oz?

If youre looking at Metroplex to give you an idea, Fort Max which has a lighter shipping weight, was IIRC $109 USD from BBTS. Amazon on the other hand may offer more competitve rates if/when he's available. Metroplex will be released locally at ~$200 so it may be worth waiting for say a Myer 15-20% off sale. Soundwave and Acid Storm have a $30 difference, so unless we can find free or discounted shipping it may not be so cheap afterall

[UltraMarginal]

And shipping from Canada is ridiculously expensive and unreliable. I would only ever buy from Canada again if the item I was after wasn't available anywhere else in the world.
