Over/under on how long it will take for fans to start griping about the micron ports on Knock Out's doors?

Yeah. That's definitely Soundwave. Cool for Soundwave fans I guess, bad for Acousticwave sales.

How crazy is it that Hasbro doesn't even have Breakdown in the schedule at least through third quarter 2012? Or Unicron? Something fishy is afoot.

even kingdom hearts is getting involved in Transformers.

What's really crazy is that during the Hasbro Panel Q&A at BotCon a fan asked when we would get Breakdown and they acted like they had no idea what he was talking about.

That's crazy!

I remember Twincast talking about Breakdown not being on display but I didn't know someone straight up asked about him. Eesh. Glad I preordered the AM version.

The guy had to explain, "you know the Takara version we've seen on the internet".

Someone at BotCon hinted to me that Gaia Unicron may be Takara-only. :-(

Though, I don't know how accurate the claim was, so I hope not.

If Hasbro doesn't release Voyager Breakdown I'm done with them. And to act like they didn't know what they were talking about (according to what someone said). I've heard Breakdown dies but come on- he's Bulkhead's rival and a pretty interesting character. Not to mention he's one bad dude.

Any idea which MP OP is the MP Lambor being compared to, MP 1/4 or MP 10?

MP-10. Lambor's voyager sized.

If Hasbro doesn't release Breakdown and Unicron as rumoured then I officially lose all confidence in them. I'm sure I'd get the odd figure when they get lucky but I no longer expect them to come through for me.

I really like the metallic looking paint on Knock Out, but yeah, still hating the Micron ports (even the engine block on this one).

They better release then both, and Jet Vehicon (another that was hinted to me as be Takara-only :BANG_HEAD:

).

Still pissed about MP Sideswipe being voyager sized. That's effing retarded.

Too big or too small? Cuz that's just the right size to go with MP-10.

Website · by **Flux Convoy** » Fri May 25, 2012 2:01 pm

Way too small. No MP figure should be that small. If he's just the right size then Rodimus is wildly out of scale. Sideswipe should be about chest level with Prime.

Not according to the official scale guide.

So what exactly are you trying to say. Rodimus isn't radically out of scale? A MP Sideswipe SHOULD be as small as a voyager? You can't possibly tell me that's an acceptable size for the money and believe it. If that's the case, we already got Alternators/BT Sideswipe to fill that gap. I don't need Sideswipe to fit in the GD trailer that I'm storing in the first place. What I need in such a figure is a nicely sized representation of him that boils down all the essentials into one good toy. Also, bear in mind how often that official scale guide is rendered moot in the show.
