That would be nice, doesn't quite have the following, but would definently be a good choice. I don't know why figures for characters that never had toys made like supe megatron or what ever his name was. [Thats the G1 reborn Megatron from the Japanese Manga comics]

These look really good, but I don't need them. I already have Hercules (which I still like more).

Now if Maketoys had turned their talents to a combiner that hadn't been done yet, like Defensor or Computron or Abominus, I'd be all over these. Leokaiser would be great too, since most people don't own a G1 Leokaiser it would be a great opportunity for many collectors.

Anyway, this gives me confidence in their abilities and I'm looking forward to their next project. I just wish 3rd parties would stop re-treading the same ground as each other.

I;m liking the bot modes more than the other version, where the track-vehicles have horrible empty knees.

The shoulder articulation on the gestalt is still going to be limited unless the sockets are on pivots or these two can be miss-transformed somehow.

Hmmm... They don't really fit my aesthetic style and I'm not a fan of the heads at all, but they do seem nice overall. It'll be interesting to see how the rest come along.

I really wish Hasbro/Takara would get their acts together in the Devastator space. How awesome would a Transformers Prime Devastator be? Jeez, I'm such a dork.

SO these figs are coming in two packs? What is the cost on them?

Am I the only one that gets a serious RiD Wedge vibe from Bulldozeer? Paint him orange and look at the similarity.
Scalpel...blood bucket...priest...next patient!

Would ye care fer a wee nip of scotch whiskey?

Yes I am a Cubs fan. You may pity me now.

From what I've heard, it will be about $140 for a two pack and there are 3 sets. So 6 figures are appoximately $420?
