That looks pretty cool. I totally getting it... until I see how small it is. Lame!

You know what? I don't have a city commander for my city bot... Depending on the price tag, I might just be in for this. (I do have a number of legends to go with my Metropli, but no UM...)

Uh-oh, my post didn't appear to post. Let's try this again, and sorry for the double post if that is what happens...

Think had this design been Ultra or Leader scale they might have had a real sell out in demand winner on their hands.

Don't feel the need to spend 3rd party prices on legends or commander scaled TF toys. As I feel HasTak more than has this market over covered to the extreme.

Tiny UM is adorable! I'd like to call him Minimus Ambus, but that's just not the case here. The design is great, but like others I'm not that keen on buying a few miniature sized figures that might cost more than I need to spend.

These lil figures remind me of those ones Perfect Effect did in their earlier years, the 'cassette-bots' which where great.

Is that a mini Blaster, Steeljaw and Ramhorn I see there also? :-?

If they make a toy-inspired Galvatron I'd totally buy it and Ultra Magnus to fight on Metroplex,

Given the price tag of the sixgun/Slammer combo, I'm thinking "No"

So small....

I need it!!! :-B

Small figures like this make great Desk fodder. As long as it doesn't cost $200...

That's nice looking!

by **Glarryg** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:39 pm

I have neither the money nor the desire to buy Metroplex, but I WANT THIS! Tiny, poseable, transformable, trailer-bearing Ultra Magnus? You bet! This is the coolest third party thing I've seen since Toyworld's Bii!

If I ever get that Metroplex, I'll be getting these to go with him.

The question is, can he deal with being so small right now?

Guessing this might sell for around $29.99 on most of the USA based imports sites.

Well, Slammer and Scamp are going for $55 at BBTS. And this is indeed one figure compared to those two, but it's a more complicated figure. At $30 I would happily place my preorder, but I think that might be a bit optimistic. If I were going to pull out my crystal ball, I'd probably say closer to $45 or $50.

This guy definitely serves a neat purpose though, and I respect the fact that Iron Factory is attempting to carve out a 3PC niche for themselves with this scale. With Toyworld's version of Ultra Magnus, if it ever sees the light of day, it will likely scale with TW Orion.

I will make my wild, unsubstantiated guess thusly:

BBTS: $39.99
TFSource: $39.95

Just a guess, though!

Should we make a contest out of these sorts of guesses?

Hmm... The closest (without going over) wins One Internet!

Just put up preorders already. :lol:

UM's looking pretty sharp!

I have the Sixgun/Slammer set on preorder, but don't think I can start committing to an IF Legends collection... there's just too much other awesome 3rd Party stuff coming out... also Combiner Wars.
