Still looks awesome, but still not interested in getting.

Well, I'm a bit more into this now that I've seen these pics and the cool-looking stickers...

Me too, the stickers will make a pretty significant difference to the appearance of this set. I reckon some clever bean should make the screens, ACTUAL SCREENS! I'm sure you could get tiny flat screens that would fit such an area? maybe an old hand-held gaming console? or the GP2X! http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/retro-gaming/bfc7/ might be a little big, but surely this is the next big idea in transformers toys? Screens have got to be cheap enough by now surely! This set could also have some neat mechanics applied to it too, like rotating whirlygigs etc.

The iGear and Fansproject products have a real opportunity to keep the fans interested in these kinds of ways, because at the moment, in this fans opinion, it's actually getting pretty boring, the toys that being produced lately don't really do anything exciting on their own, and at the moment, all the repaints of the less than interesting and fun ROTF toys really aren't rocking my world either.

I picked up the G1 re-issues of Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx when they were released a while back now, and have no end of fun with my kids with them! Omega Supreme walks on his own as a robot and when transformed, becomes a track and tank that goes around the track! Just amazing! Sky Lynx is the same, rolls along the ground in it's vehicle mode, and walks in it's beast mode! Awesome! And they are more than 20 years old! What happened to these kinds of ideas over the years? Did they become too gimmicky? Too expensive to produce? Or is it all too hard maybe?

Keep up the good work iGear and Fansproject, you third party guys are what keeps the fans really interested, lets see some actual working robotics in transformers already!

iGear has updated their IG-TF007 Computer Control Center product page with images of the final product's packaging. We get a look at both IG-TF007A, the main product acting as the original Ark, and IG-TF007B, the Shattered Glass exclusive. The images can be seen below.






If you're interested, you can check out the product page for various images of the CCC. Remember that this is a third party product and not endorsed by Hasbro or Takara, however it does not diminish its' quality.

I've got to admit, this is pretty spiffy. However, it's clear that in that one close up shot, there are more floor tiles (a third row) to make it look more spacious. The images with the figures make the set look a lot smaller and more cramped.

I think it looks good, but without a 3rd row it seems... small .

Anyway, is there any online store in Europe where this can be ordered? I want it, but I'm not liking the idea of it passing by customs being so large and expensive... They will probably verify it and charge me a big tax for it. Having that said, it would be preferable if I could buy inside Europe for a reasonable price.

Hmm, iGear...I think the set looks cool and at least we're seeing what should be the sticker sheet. The box looks pretty neat. Hopefully the final product, when it's released, lives up to these promo photos. The set looks perfect for panel lining.

Oh, indeed you CAN get screens that'll fit

I need to know the dimensions for each screen & I don't think you could fill the ones less than 1".
