If R-10 is the lady Elita One (or R-11), how do they know I want an Elita-1 so bad. Well, at least it looks like will be the next year thing according to their website. Good, after their Six Shot and Predaking, I really don't have any budget left for them this year.

Also curious at how much those deluxe class size toys will be. If affordable, I might consider replace Animated Arcee as my neo-G1 Arcee.

presumably R11 will be Solus Prime. The naming and the hammer definitely give me that vibe. That'll bring us up to 3 of the first 13 in toy form, right?
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Yeah, Vector Prime from TF: Cybertron and the Fallen from Titanium/live-action/a third-party company release.

Solus Prime and Elita One? Count me in. :D

hah! I totally forgot about Bioncle-boy. I suppose he is a big bad, but it's kinda weird given how these things usually go, that the bad guy is the one we have the most toys of. Too bad Vector Prime wasn't on that list of potential new Masterpieces. I really hope the upcoming book about the 13 gives us more figures of the different members.

I'm definitely down for this Arcee. Probably skip the medic, will have to see the other two and their paint jobs.

I'm passing on Arcee (got a 3P version already), but the others are interesting. If that is Solus I will have to get her for my Thirteen set :D

As for the other Thirteen, I'm considering using BH Ultimate Predaking as Onyx Prime, just gotta wait for the official image of him before I make up my mind :-?

You know, it would be nice to see the Thirteen in toy form. Vector Prime is a good toy, and Mobine from maketoys, their Fallen, looks good as well. But we need a Prima, and a good Alpha Trion!

Also, probably getting all of these fembots. I love PE's Arcee, but this one being a car puts it over the edge for me.

Good thing I don't want Zinnia then. Every time a 3P does some kind of exclusive that bypasses the major retailers I consider it an automatic pass.

Not that I'm a total perv or anything (lie) but I have just realised that I don't like the look of Arcee from behind. I think it's because of the kibble which covers her, er, bottom is white, and to me looks like a particularly droopy nappy. She could hang out with Titanium Soundwave.

I would be up for an Elita one version of this, however.

Any idea who that will be?

I'd agree with that, going by the silhouette of the head alone. Her I will probably get.

Zinnia will be a pass. She's homaging a character that simply isn't all that important to me.

Azalea I'm torn on. Looks great, but Arcee as a hover car bugs me slightly. Plus it took me so long to come to terms that Arcee will always be a motorbike from now on I'm kind of happy with Perfect Effect's figure.

Salvia Prominon will likely be a pass too. I'd like my Thirteen to be unique molds, even if that means I'll never have them all.

I know MMC have at least a couple of design teams, but I can't help thinking they're getting ahead of themselves. Can we get Hexatron first, please?

According to MMC's website, Hexatron is due July 15th. So, soon. Very soon.

Personally, I'm glad these lovely ladies are waiting until next year. I'll better be able to assess finances and other 3rd party projects.

This link has been thrown around the MMC threads, even this thread on page 8:

Expect the Arcee based bots very late this year, more likely next year. (Hexatron is imminent, with a release date of July 15.)

Thanks for the heads-up!

Admittedly, I haven't been keeping up with the news on Azalea ever since her prototype showed up. Heck, I didn't even know she had a name until I stumbled on this thread (which I never even knew existed until recently).

Good to know Hexatron's on his way. I did hear that he was delayed due to QC issues, there was no mention of a new date anywhere on the forums I used.

Should have thought to visit MMC's website. :BANG_HEAD:
