You know that that Micron is likely not going to be named "Ravage" (or "Jaguar"), right?RAcast wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But then we Americans would have to build them ourselves just like the Japanese.Requiem Prime wrote:I want that scorpion.

Totally worth it, give us them, Hasbro! Soundwave needs his buddy Ravage.

I'm sure we'll get an official visual representation (either a toy or a character image) of Aligned Ravage at some point.

What are you on about?
We know they're kits, Takara made that perfectly clear in the official press release for these, they're not marketing them as acttual action figures, they even SHOW you the sprews in the fron tof the box for Voyager Optimus Prime.
Besides they're simple little kits. Why are you so annoyed about this?

I think he means for a mass retail American release, at least that's what I'm reading given the conversation at hand. A good solution would be to make a sub line of "build it yourself!" minicons or something similar to hype it. I know I'd have jumped right on top of something like that when I was a kid.

It's because, over the years, Hasbro and Takara have come so far in the toy designing and engineering processes that they've gone and made some excellent figures with ingenious and innovative designs. They've come a long way from the days of yesteryears that it seems like there are no limits what they make, mold, and paint on the Transformers toys of today. It's a remarkable and impressive feat.Dead Metal wrote:Why are you so annoyed about this?
