It can be now.

I'd buy 20 if they were real.

That should be his alt-mode.

What chrome? I don't see any.

I think Blurrz was referring to the appearance of the red on SG Cyclonus. It looks like a shiny chromed red, but is, in fact, a result of photoshopping a dark colour (Cyc's purple) into a much lighter colour (in this case, the aforementioned red). This appearance is created by fiddling with the brightness/contrast of the targeted areas of the photo in an attempt to make it brighter, without losing any of the detail.

I want 2 SG Cyclonus and 3 Punch/Counterpunch, the extra Punch/Counterpunch to make a SG version

I really think I should get a discount on these.

Also, they make perfect birthday/Christmas/Labor Day presents (for me...I mean, you should buy them for me and mail them to me, not the other way around).

Blurrz is a good poster, so I don't mean to pick on him, but that's the second time this month he's made that mistake. (The first time was the "Lawson exclusives".)

Okay, you may be right. But do you have Shattered Glass Cyclonus on you right now, months before everyone else? I don't care what trends say, the figure could easily have chrome as much as it could have a pastel colour scheme. Plus.. people here don't usually pay attention to what I write anyways as long as it comes with the nice looking pictures.

Seriously, you want to try out being on the News Crew? After you look at so many Transformers like I do, you'll start thinking everything's made of transparent plastic. :grin:
