Nice.

Annoyed that it doesn't include a color picture of the new cab.

Looks like you haven't seen the other images.

But none of those show a color picture of the new cab. You know, the modified version of Classics Prime they teased a while back.

Unless I missed something?

Here's my money. Give me God Ginrai.

The title says new images for Trailerforce. Prior news for Trailerforce included stuff on the cab part. I'm a little annoyed that said new images don't include the one part of the trailer that we didn't actually get color pictures for. In essence there really aren't any new images of trailerforce.

Do you see the logic there now?

so this will use classics prime? it looks really good, I may have to pick this up and I rarely spend more than $80 on a transformer let alone a accessory.

Look again at what's included in the set... I understand that you're looking for that cab, but still, this is what they are going to release for now. A subsequent release will probably have the figure with that cab fix (speculation).

Just drop it.

They may have decided that knocking off and retooling the Classics Prime was going too far, or maybe they're planning to release an upgrade set for Classics Prime with new Powermaster conversion parts?

If this thing is priced anywhere near $150, it is too much. Actually anything over $100 is too much.

There's no actual Powermaster figure in there either; I'm going to assume they'll make the cab a separate release.

Which is actually pretty smart of them. This was made to compliment a lot of Prime figures, including it in the initial release would add a lot of extra price to the figure for people who may not necessarily want another Classics Prime.

I think they'll release it separately. Let's face it: if Hasbro/Takara didn't act on the CHMS and iGear Seekers they won't care about this.

$150 is exactly the sort of price I was expecting without the cab part. Remember the days when we thought $100 was the invisible price point line? I miss those days ...

Yea, I bet they will release the cab separately.

Oh and Hasbro is actually taking action against the iGear Seakers, any US based store that offers them is shot down, which is why the G2 Coloured Ramjet has been cancelled.

Really!? Hadn't heard about that one.

Actually it might make for a nice news article. KO/3rd party toys Hasbro/Takara HAS acted upon. Are there any others? (slightly off topic, I know)

Well ... still think they'll release the cab portion. But I wouldn't be too disappointed if they didn't. Still, it'd be nice to get a Classics upgrade of the only Powermaster I ever owned / cared about. Having another Neo-G1 Powermaster is also another reason not to get Steelcore for me.

Yup, we got it from the comic store that had them originally ordered.

Actually it might make for a nice news article. KO/3rd party toys Hasbro/Takara HAS acted upon. Are there any others? (slightly off topic, I know)

There are a few:
The unofficial WSTs by Justitoys for instance, since they are basically just shrunken down KOs.
But I'll cover that in an article I'm working on, damn I have to finish that one up!

I will not be paying $150 for this.

OK, that's it, I'm sold. Powermaster bits or no Powermaster bits, this trailer/armor set WILL be mine !

Has anyone figured out how big this is going to be? It looks at least 40cms tall based on my guesstimates.

Not sure on measurements, but this should prove helpful.

Ah! I had forgotten about that shot. My thanks

No way in hell would I pay for that.

Holy, sh*t. I was going to ask why you guys where constantly going on about 150 dollars, but now I see that El Duque updated the post to include the price after I replied.

Yea that's pretty pricy, I think I've gotta wait a bit.

For those interested this is now available for pre-order from Robotkingdom:

http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/es ... =us&CatID=

$145.00 before shipping and due out late October. I contacted BBTS and they will not be carrying this. TFsource is currently gauging interest in a possible pre-order via their facebook page. Sounds like this thing may have relatively low production numbers.
