Do we know if the transforming Optimus Prime will be available in Australia, maybe from EB in a similar style to Unicron?
I would definitely be keen to get one.

Apparently the whole Convert vs Transform thing has to with trademarks and intellectual property.
At least that's what TFWiki says.

Wasn’t expecting such a big drop. Rhinox is a bit disappointing, I’ll track down the T30 one instead. Tracks is nice but I will stick with my RTS for now.
Soundwave looks ripper, if I see one around I may grab it. So far the small scale core class guys haven’t impressed me, but this one is nice. Scorponok looks fantastic for the cartoon character, I am attached to him at all but may pick him up eventually.

Correct, "converts" has replaced "transforms" on packaging since the early '90s. If you go and look at the recent Walmart reissues you will notice that (among other changes) they've changed "transforms" to "converts."Originally Posted by nalops

Perhaps contact robosen if they have an American contact, to see if they have an Australian distributor.

The sole Leader and Voyager will hopefully mean more around for those wanting Galvatron and Rhinox specifically. After seeing Optimus Primal and Dinobot far outlast their case mates Cyclonus and Inferno (because of less popularity and the 2:1 assortment) I'm glad there isn't a Voyager I want with Rhinox. Galvatron I think will be popular too, so a full case of him only is welcomed after seeing KD Ultra Magnus get gobbled up.
Hopefully Big W and Myer get a good quantity of Rodimus, like they did with Sky Lynx (or Target which had Jetfire). He deserves to be widely available to collectors and not just a few scalpers.
As with Huffer, I think Tracks will be the first to go from that case. I hope this wave of Deluxes makes it to us in good numbers given the scarcity currently of wave 2.

There was a rumour going around (due to a recent listing) that Starscream may make a return this wave. It looks like we already have Wheeljack locked in this wave as well. Still, should see a bit of stock like Dinobot this round I hope.

Have a feeling Magnus will be packed in with Galvatron. I don't think they've ever done 1 Leader to an assortment in recent memory.
Edit:
So yea, according to Entertainment Earth, Rhinox will be packed with Cyclonus and Galvatron with Ultra Magnus.

Good to know. About to pre-order both Rodimus and The Ark, may consider doing the same with Galvatron in the future.

Make sure you're able to cancel. Rodimus will probably drop here in June at Big W compared to August/September from US and at a very similar price, if not better here.
