I've seen pictues of this toy and it looks really cool in my opinion. However, it has been showing up lately on eBay for a large price. The descriptions state this is a UK only exclusive?
This this true or is this a seller ploy at price gouging?

This will probably end up being a similar situation to the Ravage Alternator, where Argos get their 'UK exclusive' ahead of the toy's release in the US due to when their catalogue comes out. I could be wrong, but I think they'll start showing up in the States before too long. Hasbro were showing this off at Botcon if I'm not mistaken and that seems like a pretty strange move if the intention was only to release the toy in Europe, "And here's what you could have won.".

I get a very RiD Decepticon vibe from him. The Scourge thing obviously, but there's something about his upper body and head that makes me think of whatever the Onslaught repaint was called as well.

That's what I've been saying since it first appeared. Now if only we could get Starscream, Bonecrusher, and Blackout to the Leaders list you'd have one mean Bruticus.

I'd have no problem him being a uk exclusive!
I can get him and besides we on the other side of the lake need something to make up for the past!

We don't always get it up the tailpipe. Just most of the time.

he costs £40 here, which is $80, so the price isn't too bad, condidering that he has made £10 profit, which may just be from bids.

http://tfu.info/subgroup/turbomasters.htmhttp://tfu.info/subgroup/predators.htmThese guys are really cool and landed sort of between G1 and G2, they're just about the last G1 toys. The US never got them because the missiles were too small and the launchers too powerful. There have been retooled versions of the larger moulds released in the States as part of the Machine Wars and Universe lines but they've never managed to live up to the originals.
