Alright, so Spyglass and Spectro are near identical... that's pretty impressive. I really dig it and am glad PerfectEffect is flying through with their creations.

I know price will have to be known for many to answer, but how many want to get a couple of sets to have random Decepticon clone number one to put through the space bridge, or what not, and still have 'REFLECTOR'.

SMH, now why the hell couldn't Hasbro introduce something like this into that God awful Power Core Combiners line, instead of letting 3rd party bottom feeders steal their shine....?

Ugh, thank god Hasbro DIDN'T make them. We'd probably get no 3rd party version OR any better version after they completely bomb it with the PCC iterations. Don't nay-say the ones delivering the real goods, we are all lucky to even have these being made.

I like the concept but I am not completely sold on the "Gundam astetics" like the shields.

Sold. Will preorder.

That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. :grin:

Assuming not-Soundwave turns out well, I'd be happy to see them take-on ALL the designs that originated in Microman MicroChange, all the way through not-Perceptor/Magnificus and not-Browning (well, okay, they can leave off the ChoroQ originated minibots).

Seeing the twins that accompany him make me a little more interested in this toy. As long as they come as a set, I am now considering getting these with the decision based on price.

Hmm... maybe they will release a regular, and a high-end one with an actual camera built in. That would be cool.

Wow, that would be something for collectors, and camera folks!

I like it except that it looks too busy. Lots of unnecessary, random deatail. I'm just hoping that there isn't so much paint on these guys that they end up looking like junk. It's kinda how I felt about their previous stuff. I'm keeping my eyes on this. I want it to turn out great.

wow. when i got the frenzy rumble set i was slightly disappointed in the QC, as were alot of people. the most common problems being two left feet, loose joints or just bad tolerances between small peices. i hope these issues have been adressed because im foaming at the mouth for this one! im keeping my expectations low for now until i see how the finished product gets reviewed on youtube. i am definitely pre-ordering asap though.

the paint is a bit busy, it reminds me of Katoki's gundam designs with the block lettering all over and the picked out details. its not for everybody, but i feel like it fits with the classics style, especially classics Primary Prime.

examples for people not familiar with Gundam or Katokis style:http://www.google.com/images?q=gundam+fix+figuration&hl=en&safe=off&site=&prmd=ivns&source=lnms&tbs=isch:1&ei=XSUeTdWyFYiq8Abm0dnkDQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&sqi=2&ved=0CBgQ_AU&biw=1024&bih=462

I hope not, because Hasbro said that they were okay with 3rd party items as long as they dont pass the $100 mark. :-(

Except the products that Igear offers routinely exceed the $100 mark.

According to previous side by side pics with their cassette guys, tiny. Maybe 2.5 inches tall.

About the size of a zippo lighter.
