well those just look darn good. But! No comic head for Ratchet?

Awwww, they look great! I've been curious as to whether the little missile launcher feature from the G1 molds would translate into these versions. You can see Ironhide with a chromed launcher on his shoulder, but notice on the inner legs there's some chrome pieces as well. Guess I can find out for myself in a few weeks.

They look so nice. I wish they were smaller to go with classics. Maybe they will get a down sized KO in the future.

Kudos on some great photos. Accessories are great, bot modes are nice. It seems like there are some gaps along the roof in alt mode though - do the panels not align properly?

I'm pretty sure they're about the size of Voyager Optimus, which isn't bad. Vehicle-wise, vans being bigger than cars makes sense. Fiction-wise Ironhide is a big ox-headed bulk of a guy, and Ratchet is the only one who ever got anything done in the comics, so I don't really mind them being so big...

...apart from the price, but I'm not sure a downscale to Deluxe size would have helped that all that much really. Loads of accessories and alternate head options make these look like they'll be pretty good value for money anyway. I just need to come up with an excuse to spend that much money, and the restraint to not spend it on other stuff. I'd really like these guys, but it would feel weird only having one of them... :BOOM:

Looks like they're going to end up almost the same height as MP Sideswipe and Red Alert. Not bad. Definite purchases.

Hey daimchoc, what is the quality of these two? Are they worth the wait?

Looks like each comes with an armory of weapons. My Junkions needed some different toys besides axes. Any word on when our stateside online stores are getting their stock?

The pics didn't load completely for me then. They weren't there for me to see before looking again. Just trying to be helpful. Roll with it, I don't do it often.

Looks very nice.

. I hope mine will come soon.

HK Post now shows some information for my stuff. Hope to see it in about 2 weeks. Hopefully earlier.

Man, those look like G1 perfection! The ONLY thing preventing me from getting these is the possibility Takara might do MP versions of these guys. I would feel quite the fool if I bought these and that happened. But man, they do look good, and fit in nicely scale-wise with the MP series.

I was also afraid that when I ordered but then I thought that it will certainly be some time until it happens. They look so awesome so I can not wait for it to happen.
