Sold.

Will this come in the monochrome United packaging?

I wish all teaser images would be just for 24 hours before the reveal. That should be written in stone. I like the new head. I also hope this means that the Perceptor mold will be off the table for Botcon. I dont want to see Machine Wars Soundwave get slaughtered by use of the perceptor mold. And Im not so crazy about a 3 pack of Reflector clones from this mold either unless one has a lens on his chest which is too much to expect from Funpub.

Nice, the artwork looks cool and he seems to be a decent price for an Ehobby import!

Cool, just might get it if the club imports this. $58US is not bad...

I'll take him. I can't wait to see the actual figure.

Hot damn, I really want this now

I definitely want this piece. :KREMZEEK:

I like the story line of from G1 Magnificus and G'mede (sp?).

Ugh... Here I am, sitting and hoping that GT-R Maximus is the 4th and final GT-R (2012 had 4 GT-Rs in Super GT), which would make a nice (possibly temporary) cap-off. Because by then, I would have a complete set of non-Convoy/Prime GT-Rs. And then this is confirmed.

Sonnofa... I just hope this version is not as cool as the original. :BANG_HEAD:

Are you talking about the same thing we're talking about?

Yes I am. A month ago, I had found the original e-HOBBY version, which came with Ga'Mede. One was MISB, and a second was graded by AFA. The whole background for these two were great, and I was tempted to get the graded version (as the non-graded version was not guaranteed the same condition or better). Because, I mean, how can you top the chance to have an "expanded universe" (Star Wars terminology) character that is a Destron who wants revenge on other Destrons?

Which lead to my point. If the piece is the same as the original, the only point I would skip on him if he was a Generations piece. Do not collect that line. Otherwise, I need to refocus my plans and budget for the magnificent Magnificus. :lol:

Wait a sec? What am I thinking?! SG Perceptor is dead!

News Credits: 251 · Sun Mar 24, 2013 2:25 pm

I want him, but not for $60. I'll just wait for that rumored Reflector repaint. >:oP

I dare you to claim that 58$ for a robot toy is 'not bad' in a bar full of people.

e-Hobby has fully revealed their recently announced exclusive, Magnificus! The figure is a black, red, and chrome redeco of Reveal the Shield Perceptor with a brand new head sculpt. Expect the figure to cost 5500 Yen and be available from March 26th until May 8th. Check out the latest images directly from e-Hobby mirrored below.

Something this cool should end up in the Generations line for mass retail, not as an exclusive from foreign markets. I would import this beauty, but not for $60.

I'll get one. Maybe even 2 so I can have an SG Percy

SG Perceptor already exists. Magnificus, based on the original Perceptor toy, was in the Botcon comic.

Both will work fine though.

Hello, Machine Wars Soundwave?

Indeed, but I don't want a G1 Magnificus, I don't do G1 figs so he'd look real out of place.

Pass.

Maybe the people in the bar are already drunk?

Not bad, in comparison to TFCC's stuff. Hope TFCC does not jack up the price IF they import it.
