His head reminds me a lot of Age of Extinction Prime.

And looky looky, he comes with ALLLLLL the weapons.

No, he only comes with his weapons and Megatronus' straff. The other one came with all the weapons that the predacon hunter would turn into on the show such as the Bumblesabre, Jazz' lance, Sideswipe's katana and the crossbow weapon that Strongarm has which did not come with her figure. TAV 21 is still the only way to get that exclusive weapon of her's.

I am not trying to make you feel bad, I am just trying to make myself feel better since I much preffer the weapons this toy comes with

I mean look at that SWORD!

Simple Cobo, sell the less good one now while the better one is not out, and use that money to get the better one later.

Your message should have been adressed to me. And I might do that.

Well doesn't Cobo have his too?
Anyways yeah, obviously it would work for you too.

IT IS! Damn, I really wish I knew this existed when I bought it. At least then I could choose without regret.

Yeah but with takara, they are more limited than Hasbro releases and if you dont preorder you are stuck paying almost double, in my case.

Well, you could always double up, keep the weapons from the first one and then scalp it

they are putting out some beautiful stuff. I love that Jazz-Drift set. How much is it American $ for that set do we know?

Haha sure! I looked back on what I paid for shipping on the other guy and realized this was truly a one time thing. While it was the best deal for me, no one would buy him loose at a price high enough to cover my cost. But its fine. What I care most for in all TF toys is the sculpt. And I got that covered. And TAV 21 looks great too. I actually preffer this guy simply because he can interact with both the deluxe cars and the minicons and I am not too fond of the weapon gimick with TAv 21. But anyways.

In a very dramatic example, this is like being someone who didnt want kids to realize he cant have any even if he wanted to. He was happy not having kids, but he was happy with the fact that it was a choice. No one likes being deprived of info when making a choice and this is how I feel about this guy but to a much lesser extent. My daughter will be 1 month this friday by the way and she is doing great.

No its not. And that is why you may now understand what I meant earlier. The difference is really big but you have to preorder the day it goes up. Which gives you very little room to choose, hence why I took that Optimus TAv 21 without a moment's hesitation. Same for all the other TAVs. I would have liked to know Jazz would come with Drift before that preorder because then I would have held off on getting him and waited for this set instead.

Keep being subsribed to both this thread and the "now available online thread" where hopefully someone will inform us when this set is vailable.

Or just keep this link in your favourites: http://slist.amiami.com/top/search/list?s_keywords=tav&submit=Search&pagemax=40

Judging from the price of the previous VS packs, this 2 pack will be 28.11$ US before shipping. Shipping would be an extra 10$ at the most I beleive if you pick the SAL option.

I honestly panicked when i saw this. then Will saved me a bit

Still not a fan of Prime's legs taking up 3/4 of his body. Oh well, nothing I can do about it.

Optimus "Supreme" looks nice, as dose Bumblebee "Supreme Mode," but I'm not into buying "powered up" versions of characters, especially when it seems like it's likely to be a one-off thing for the season finale. The standard releases are THE definitive versions of the characters as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, but instead of me thinking about him being an Optimus Prime with 3/4 of his height being his legs, I think of him being a Japanese super robot "SUPER CONVOY!!!"

...or he reminds me of Lord Business from the Lego Movie.

Owning the "clash" Sideswipe, I say he is better than the retail release. I love the paint job and it just works so well for him. and he's all molded in the same color plastic and no clear stuff, so the details just pop and mesh so much better
