That depends on whether you buy internet or instore. At physical retail we've got SB Megatron and RB Ultra Magnus, with the jet twins as our newest at the moment, yet if you can shop at play.com you can also get Blurr, Swindle, Shockwave, and possibly a few more I've forgotten.


Nothing my end, I'm refraining from going to shops as I have not a penny, and I really don't need the temptation...

LOL I know how you feel but my nephew is looking for Samauri Armor Prowl for easter

Ah well, I think sites like play.com and kapow will be your best chance, I don't think it'll be likely that we'll see Samurai Prowl before Easter at retail.

I'll have a looky-see, I'm quite keen on him meself

Too bad Play don`t post toys to Ireland

I managed to get Samurai Prowl from Amazon:

Don't know if anyone knows this already, but Universe deluxes are on a "not quite half price" offer at TRU. About £7.69 each.

Thanks for the heads up Kaijubot, will have to have a look at the local TRU!

Have just received confirmation from Xybertoys that MP Grimlock is in the post!

Sighted in my lounge -

He's looking at you, thinking: "You seriously need to vacuum in here."

agreed, as well as this i feel i must add, i still don't see the buzz behind grimlock

now perceptor he's a bot u can use, we could all use a working microscope

I really want MP Grimlock, but I feel that £120 for him is ridiculous, especially since Prime and Megs were half that price!(roughly)

I dunno, I'll either wait til I see a bargain, or wait for the Hasbro release. Whichever comes sooner.

lol beast wars, how quaint

wht were they thinking devoting a whole tv series to animal transformers

they should of put some effort into the G2 cartoons instead of havin g1 cartoons with new animation sequences

You and your closed mind Electron, I thought like you once, but you must free yourself from these constraints..

The beast modes make sense, if you read spotlight Shockwave you'll understand why also the story and charicters are pretty pretty pretty good, im fairly sure if you gave it a chance you will quite like it (gotta admit it starts quite slow, and the corny 'maximise' puts you off but stick with it)

its only closed to beastwars and animated

any way tomato, tomatoe

and ive read spotlight shockwave, and i didnt like the fact the dinobots werent exactly tru to there G1 alt forms

I'd have to stand by the idea that beast modes generally aren't a good idea. And just because someone has written an explanation to justify them doesn't make the idea itself any less convoluted.

well if it ain't G1/G2 it ain't broke so don't fix it!

i hate the whole maximize and terrorise? thing why shout somethin as pointless as that as u transform?

Your missing the bigger picture, as what happens to them in SP Shockwave (the reformatting) is just a fairly feasable method of the getting their dino alt modes, because if you're still reading the IDW stuff you know that they've all been reactivated and no longer have their psuedo skins as they decayed over the millenia, so i think they are very much like their g1 selves, only more articulated!

Beast Wars is what hooked me into the franchise (and is a part of the Generation 1 Canon) and I suspect it did the same to a whole generation of fans. I think even if you don't like beast-formers you can at least admit that Beast Wars was key in saving Transformers.

What a coincidence so did I. Along with Henkei Hotshot and the universe legends wave 2, I think the wave with Warpath is wave 2. All of them are great figures even Wheelie.

Also found Burning Lockdown, Swindle and Blurr in Hatfield Tesco today and bought Blurr! Happy hunting.

and like beastwars, G2 have helped my keep a lil flame for tf's

see i don't understand how no one else here loves them as much as me, let me list all the great things about G2

- neon colours
- unique molds ( some of which did not exist/ were not available in america, meaning for one of the first times in tf history, we had better transformers than the yanks)
- the introduction of better articulation like ball joints
- awesome comics
- AWESOME TOYS!!!

need i say more?

G2 is cool people lets all just embrace it abit more

G2 was the last unsightly gasp of a stale product line. No matter how many rubbish movies Michael Bay makes, it will never recover its former glory.
