The thing about this is that the 2 is written out like how "two" would be, instead of being represented by the number "2", hence "Beetwo".

Skywarp: Cant wait to see the uproar next year if the line gets discontinued before a Thundercracker gets produced.

MP Starscream: They did a nice job, but not $150 nice.

Minicons/Microns: Whatever they are called, they just dont pass for Targetmasters. As a freebee theyre ok I guess. But I cant understand why US collectors would pay $50 and up for them from asian scalpers.

Man, I'm really diggin these. I might actually get BB, CJ, SW, Ratchet & Megs.

Ratchet would look so much better if the plugs weren't such a freakin' eye sore! They should have made these holes like the ones for DOTM figs!

Sadly, that megatron is a deluxe

Doesn't matter for transcribing the kana (romaji is the transcribed text with the Roman alphabet if you must know). If a pun in English was intended, like Beetwo for Beetle, then I'll accept that as the official transcription. But none are given, so it's all up for interpretation.

wow, im surprised at how much i like the microns. Bee's and cliff's especially, but they all look pretty cool. I do NOT dig the extra pegholes molded onto the figs however
long story short, if these ever come to the US il get one maybe two cliffs for sure cuz of his current lack of triple blasters, then maybe some others.

Yet again, Skywarp looks badass. I hope Hastak makes a Thundercracker

And as for the Targetmasters, bring this to the US please!!!

Can anyone tell if cj's gun pegs onto his hand or the new molded peg on his door/arm?

DOTM voyager Ironhide had horribly obvious plugs on his alt mode's roof and sides. Not only were they not covered, there's a raised rim around them as if they weren't enough of an eyesore.

But...DotM Voyager Ironhide was a hot steaming pile of dog crap...

Preorders cancelled..

I was expecting a little more out of these. They seem too similar to the hasbro ones with just minor paint jobs but with holes all over. The microns are awesome but not worth the mark up IMO. The only one id be interested in is skywarp..

MP 11 is a must have for me since i missed him twice already.

I'm in the same boat of liking the microns but not the extra-holy vehicles. might yet see about getting a couple of these guys but I'm primarily hoping for the targetmaster guys to get individual releases, or a box set release, from Hasbro.

Hrm... I dunno. :/ I was considering Ratchet... I like the added paint detail, but I don't care for the extra vehicle nubs and they didn't paint his chest windows. I guess if I get the Hasbro version and Reprolabels I'd still be saving money...

Yaaay, Skywarp, another Japanese exclusive. Count me out.

Because it's easy come, easy go


On topic. not 100% sold on the Takara Prime stuff anymore. Will probably stick with Hasbro. Skywarp could be the exception. Definitly not getting MP11. i don't like the large points on the wings and it definitly not paying out for a plastic pink cape. i have a crown and cape on my Hasbro MP Starscream.

Why worry about ports on your vehicle modes when they never get transformed to vehicle mode?

I think they are worth trying a couple for sure.

I can't let you do that, StarFox.

gonna get Megatron since i missed out on the first edition one, wish they went with the voyager version of him though. i truly hole they make these new targetmasters/minicons in the states though. they could be sold in 3 packs like the Armada days
