Don't really care about this set so if it never hits the US I won't be bummed. I will wonder what the heck is up with Hasbro's distribution though.

I really want the OP/Megs set with the kids...

Live in Europe for a few years, then look at your statement again.


Besides which, we didn't create it to begin with. We picked it and adapted it for US audiences, that's it just like we did with all the cool stuff like Star Blazers (Yamato), Robotech (Macross) and Voltron (don't ask me what the hell they called it beside Go-Lion, I don't know and you folks can Google as well as I can).
The United States isn't capable of coming up with stuff this cool. Instead, we gave the world stuff like Scooby Doo and Grape Ape and other things that I'm fairly certain involved illicit drugs during their inception.


Ummmm we only took the designs of the original toys from diaclone and microman. Transformers was created by the U.S. the Japanese adapted it for their audiences. The only series that were originally Japanese were Beast Wars II, Beast Wars Neo, Robots in Disguise (car robots) and whatever they called Armada, Energon and Cybertron.
And The Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, and Zone. The G1 Transformers cartoon was American-made, with its animation outsourced to Asian studios like Toei and AKOM. It wasn't an anime.

Plus, the Marvel G1 comics preceded the cartoon, so it was Marvel who made all the characters, not Japan.



my bad those ones had completely slipped my mind, thanks for adding them to the list

And don't forget Beast Wars was produced in Canada >:oP

In regards to this set... yawn. It's exclusivity is the only thing that makes it appealing.

...Why is Starscream purple? I STILL don't get that. Is it meant to simulate him flowing with Dark Energon in Shadowzone?

Thank you!! So I'm not the only one who thinks that. Maybe paint the "silver" parts an aqua/light blue color and maybe a slightly different head....Slipstream lives!

dont really care all that much about the "energon infused" repaints, but i would like the MECH figures. does Hasbro have something against US fans getting the human characters from TF Prime?

In hand, that starscream makes a way better skywarp than the AM version does. The whole charcoal and light purple colour fits much better with the prime look than the flat black. ;)

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
You guys misread my first post in a pretty big way. I was simply trying to refer to these pet peeves of European collectors:

- No exclusives
- Lines almost always end just past halfway
- Prices are ridiculous

Saying something to the likes of "We "invented" Transformers, so we're entitled to the cooler toys" just screams elitism, which is one of my pet peeves.

Anyhow, back on track...

That Starscream looks good enough, but Bumblebee... Meh.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I was fortunate to find this item in Myer in Perth Western Australia for $59.99
Sadly, it didn't come with the dvd, but a full coloured bio booklet featuring the characters.
Starscream isn't out yet, so I was glad to get him early.
And having the First Edition version of Bumble Bee, even with the lame light Blue stripes and deep yellow colouring, is a plus.
