I got 8 or em last time I was in a TrU, if only I could find someone to battle against. (Ive been trying to convince my mate to collect the Star Wars ones but he aint catching the bait....)


Ironically my friend picked up a pack of Starwars ones - he got IG88 and a Storm Trooper biker. He got me Armada Skorponok, 2 x Omnicrons and some other guy. They're great - especially as they hurt when they hit you at close range!

Pull Prime's thing that makes him 'punch' out as far as it'll go, that'll lock his torso.

Apart from the punching thing, Primes robot mode is everything the RM Convoy was missing, I absolutly love the robot mode, it looks fantastic. Just a shame the alt mode is pretty much as poor as RM Convoy's alt mode...

Megs is also really good, apart from his right arm, which is aweful.

Oddly enough, I never though to check that out, lol.

I'd love one of those lads. Does that shop import them, or is it actual hope that they'll see some release here? The Entertainer have had hold of a few of the exclusives in the past, like the Sam's Club Prowl and Starscream, and the Costco Prime and Overload, as well as some of the Universe Battle-in-a-Boxes. Could the Target Magnus and Skywarp be on the roster? Here's hoping...

It's £14.99 in Woolworth's Big Red Book catalogue, but apparently limited to catalogue-order only, from some of the reports i've seen, thought apparently not yet available.

I agree whole heartedly with you Red.
**** Hasbro. I am really starting to hate the Americans too. Botcon is right on their doorstep. Good for them. People living on the other side of the world show how much they hate how their fave cons are exclusives, and they whine at them for whining.

Not everyone has £250 handy for 5 toys. So there's no way we can get these figures.

Shatterblast transforms into a Puppy and strafes Dillan the Destroyer

What? Just got this in a HMW battle. Pretty funny heh?

I worked it out as £180 something pounds including postage, where did you get £250 from? (Not that £180something isnt far too much anyway.)

To be honest I pulled it out of the air. I remembered $329 and guessed when I changed it to pounds.

Still amazingly unfair for £50 worth of toys. £60 if the one is a Jetfire repaint.

lol I forgot it was April Fools day today. Nice tough indeed.

Hush you! :P

Really though, I've spent so much time hating Rodimus Prime (Except UK Comic Rodimus.) that I never though I'd find a decent figure of the future Prime without my dislike of his toon character colouring it badly.

believe it or not, I'm actually one of the many Instore Janitors at tesco. I'm generally on the backdoor area, so I get to see what comes in.

Saturday, we had a load of 6 inch tits in, including rodimus, scourge and nappywave
