Totally ridiculous that this won't be offered state-side. C'mon Hasbro - get it together!

Some of the best seekers in my collection are KO's. But then again I wont even insult CHMS by referring to them as a KO company. Lets just say they are an alternate transforming robot company that listens to their fanbase.

Looks good! I'm not too choked about no US release, I already have the ROTF Voyager version. I get 3 different molds, one for each member of the trio in the same universe. That's good enough for me.

Don't release this stateside. We need more Bumblebee repaints. Maybe another ten versions of Skids and Mudflap.

Trying reverse psychology will only make it worse.

Why not just Japanese since this is a Japanese market exclusive? I have Black Arcee from the first movie line, and her bio is the same as her regular U.S. release's, in perfect English. Why the switch?

Send an e-mail to Takara about that. They decide stuff like that, they know why they do it. And if not, no one knows for sure.

Be nice, don't call anyone ignorant.

It has to do with being consistent in packaging. TakaraTomy has decided to actually keep the Hasbro packaging for their main line figures, including the English. To have the TakaraTomy exclusives fit in better, their bios are also in (not so perfect) English. It would look kind of jarring if you see one of two Japanese backing cards in a line full of English, am I right?

I wasn't trying to be rude by any means. I really and truly AM ignorant about why the Japanese exclusives are packaged the way they are. Thanks for letting me know JelZe!

I got Starscream and Thundercracker today, and am deciding whether to buy this figure from Ebay, or Amazon (if possible), or wait and hope for an American release. I hope we get a Ramjet, I have the voyager, but he's a little big with the other guys. I do not have the ROTF voyager Skywarp, so have to consider this figure. The figure is :KREMZEEK:

EPIC

I do have empathy for you, at least your seekers have hands... and missiles that don't fire prematurely at the slightest touch. [/quote]

May be common knowledge but, you can flip the flap that would trigger down the missles all the way back, that way he can spin his cannons for all he wants and the missiles wont go flying out
