I'm listening. Wonder if Shockwave will get a separate release here too. It would be hard to believe the Arms Micron version being the only release.

A good paint job would help quite a bit with these molds, and considering the rising costs of them I'm much more open to importing at this point.

pics or it didn't happen...
Although I'm not sure a nice, shiny coat of paint can make these lackluster figs the jam either way...

Good point. That will be an interesting one to see how it's handled. I wonder if the Arms Micron figure will just be integrated into this TG line.

So it's like Henkei then? OK then.
btw I wish TakaraTomy had gone with a designation other than "TG"

Are North America figures different somehow to those we get in Europe?

Only the packaging is different, the EU Deluxe cards are smaller than the rest of the world's by 1/6th. The figures are all the same.

Good news. This opens up the door for metallic paintjobs and extra paint apps that make these small crappy figures actually worth buying. How about a G1 accurate FOC Bruticus that includes a proper grey and blue Vortex ? I pre-ordered that Takara Shockwave hoping it would have a more cartoon accurate paintjob like Henkei Cyclonus colors.

Upsizing molds? Wouldn't that make them a KO company?

Sorry guys, but no ammount of metallic paint or chrome can save these figures from their irregular size. One jazz should not be looking RTS Jazz in the chest unless its a scout, pass just as I passed on the domestic version.

Only once, even that was exceptional. Don't get your hopes up.

Considering the Arms Micron figure is being released the same month these are supposedly coming out (December 2012), I don't see it happening.
TakaraTomy is moving Shockwave to their Prime line to get more figures out for that line because he appears on the show.
Well he's going to be on the Prime cartoon so I imagine the toy's colors might be changed to reflect that version rather than the G1 cartoon.

What about Cybertron Starscream...they upsized him from a Voyager to a Supreme...
Not Has to Tak version, but close enough.
