DOTM voyager Ironhide had horribly obvious plugs on his alt mode's roof and sides. Not only were they not covered, there's a raised rim around them as if they weren't enough of an eyesore.


But...DotM Voyager Ironhide was a hot steaming pile of dog crap... :-(

Preorders cancelled..

I was expecting a little more out of these. They seem too similar to the hasbro ones with just minor paint jobs but with holes all over. The microns are awesome but not worth the mark up IMO. The only one id be interested in is skywarp.. :-?

MP 11 is a must have for me since i missed him twice already. [-(

long story short, if these ever come to the US il get one maybe two cliffs for sure cuz of his current lack of triple blasters, then maybe some others.

I'm in the same boat of liking the microns but not the extra-holy vehicles. might yet see about getting a couple of these guys but I'm primarily hoping for the targetmaster guys to get individual releases, or a box set release, from Hasbro.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Hrm... I dunno. :/ I was considering Ratchet... I like the added paint detail, but I don't care for the extra vehicle nubs and they didn't paint his chest windows. I guess if I get the Hasbro version and Reprolabels I'd still be saving money...

Yaaay, Skywarp, another Japanese exclusive. Count me out. :roll:

Because it's easy come, easy go


On topic. not 100% sold on the Takara Prime stuff anymore. Will probably stick with Hasbro. Skywarp could be the exception. Definitly not getting MP11. i don't like the large points on the wings and it definitly not paying out for a plastic pink cape. i have a crown and cape on my Hasbro MP Starscream.

Why worry about ports on your vehicle modes when they never get transformed to vehicle mode?

I think they are worth trying a couple for sure.
