Don't care about the tanker, at least not for $100.

However, I'll be getting the Powerglide set.

didnt someone said 3rd party companies cant go over 100 dollar on price tag for there items they sell?

102.99 wow thats expensive

NO,Thanks,This thing doesn't grow that much in height. Their is a comparision pic of this thing in full robot trailer armor next to generations deluxe size Drift. this battle tanker next to deluxe drift is only a 1/4 of a inch taller from toe to head.

Personally such a waste,in combined trailer armor robot mode it's still deluxe size. they had all the battle tanker parts to use. they could have had the trailer parts form a lower leg/shin. instead of just a raised foot.

IMHO,Paying $100 for this to get a STILL DELUXE COMBINED TOY makes ZERO sense.

At the very least the PROTECTOR armor did actually make the classics rodimus toy add about 1 & 1/2 inches in height. the protector armor did make the toy grow from deluxe to voyager size.

The city commander armor made classics ultra magnus go from a voyager sized toy to a ultra sized 8+inch sized robot mode.

Height does not a voyager toy make, but sheer mass instead. If you're looking for height, then this isn't for you. Wait for that Powermaster Prime upgrade that someone is making.

if you want to take a figure which was not the best in its line, give it a trailer THAT TURNS INTO AN EXOSUIT, and give him the ability to light up a MASSIVE sword, then this is for you.

I think it's overpriced, but I want it. This set inspires me to take pics of badass action scenes. Really looking forward to it.

This isn't a EXO-SUIT. A exo-suit is something a figure slips inside of.

This battle tanker is more defined as a parts-former or Trailer armor that splits up in armor pieces for the robot mode to wear.

A exo-suit in toy terms is defined as such: something more similar to the DOTM Ultimate optimus prime toy. Something similar to the Takara Brave 1990 King Exkaiser,the MP King Exkaiser. those Avatator exo-suits. all these things have robots that slip inside a exo-suit.

I read a thread last week. that only the japanese limited edition version comes with the light up sword. I could be wrong on this but I could have sworn I read the mass released 2nnd shipment & so forth won't include the light up sword.

The Drift sword is the limited edition one, and it comes with the current pre-order figs. I debatted and debatted with my-self and I think despite being exspensive, I'm gonna get this bad boy. My wife needs to get me something for X-mas still anyhow

Upon further analysis, we're both right and wrong. THe parts add to the hands and feet, then he could slip into his trailer for extra firepower


My original point still stands though: this isn't a deluxe figure. This figure has more playability than FP Ultra Magnus with the multiple trailer modes. Well worth the money IMO (and only IMO of course)

I agree with ya man, this definitely looks way more fun than the FP ultra magnus/prime upgrade trailer/body armours. Those always seemed kinda clunky and boring to me... despite looking cool.
I wonder if laser rod prime's upgrade can stand in the mode in this pic, without the back support I see.

This thing looks incredible. Plus, from the review I read, the quality is top notch.

[El Duque]

I'll take a couple.
