There is a pic of Rollbar in what appears as a leg mode, but... I doubt it's part of an actual gestalt. If Toyworld does go this route it won't ruin the figures for me as I'm already sold on these guys.

:lol:
It looks like someone strted his transformation then went off to answer the phone or something? ;)

I doubt this would be a combiner, just look how wide that 'leg' would be! Ridiculous idea!! :P

Now having Grind/Rollbar in hand (no way was I completing that sentence with Rod in there) and very much loving it when is the word on 02 here coming down the Pike? If this series continues the quality and sheer fun of 01 Toyworld are going to get a lot of my custom from here on out.

Preorders anywhere yet?

Anybody know why BBTS or TF Source hasnt posted this pre-order yet ? Are they suckig up to Hasbro like they did when Hegemon came out ? Aurora is actually less G1 reminiscent than Grind Rod. Searchlight was a sports car and Aurora is a soccer mom mini SUV. Grind Rod was practically his G1 jeep mode.

Sucking up to Hasbro...?

Considering all the 3rd party stuff they've already sold and -still- sell... sometimes sooner than other e-tailers... that makes no sense. I'm sure they'll get their preorders up for it eventually, just be patient.

Yeah. There's still a lot of third-party stuff there. It will come.

It's highly likely BBTS will carry this product. As for the lack of a pre-order, please be patient (as others have commented). Many people may not remember but after GrindRod went up for pre-order, BBTS marked him down about $8 or $9 maybe a week afterwards. I know that was a decision maker in keeping my pre-order with them. So, maybe they haven't listed Aurora because they are negotiating pricing for it. Either way, I don't believe we can hold all e-tailers to put up pre-orders at the same time.

I don't believe we've seen anything yet.

I suspect that Heavyload will make the torso, Goldbug the chest/head, and Freeway and Chase will make the arms.

Not bad for BBTS I guess but Chimungmung have him for $67 inclusive of shipping!
Guess that would work out to approx £45/£50 shipped to the U.K.?
:D
