I wonder if the Dinobot is going to be the same mold.

Yep. All TM releases are reissues of Deluxe Beast Wars figures, with show-accurate decos, like Hasbro's 10th anniversary Beast Wars line. In case of Primal and Megs, the molds used are their Robot Master version. (See RM-11 Beast Convoy and RM-02 Beast Megatron) And no, they don't come with parts of Transmutate

If you're wondering what "TM" stands for, it's "TeleMosaya". Basically, it means only the most noteworthy characters will appear in the line.

Wow. Those are much cheaper than what BBTS is selling them for. Finally a white Tigatron for less than $30!

Also. They fixed the colors on Dinobot! No more seagreen all over him!

Where? I dont see Tigatron listed.

I'm looking forward to the release of these, not quite sure where I will order them from, come back Ellis Models! I'm definatly getting Black Widow (Arachnia) and Dinobot.

Yours AK

You know that's a good question. BBTS has him up for preorder but F2F doesn't. I just saw the price of the line and didn't look any further before shouting with glee...Now I'm depressed. :cry:

There's no listing on F2F for Drancron, the Blendtron commander/Sky Shadow repaint, either, but don't be too worried. Their releases are probably too far in the future for F2F to have listed.

The Soundwave MP3 Player certainly has me interested, being that I'm actually in the market for my first MP3 Player. Is this item going to be able to play US/English format items? I see where it takes an SD Card. Will file information display in english on the LCD?

That's a good question, I hope it does. I already preodered all of them on BBTS, but has anyone ordered from fan to fan before? Are they reliable? Just wondering because I had to order both white and blue versions of soundwave together because the blue version by itself was sold out.

I haven't heard any negative things. Shipping from Japan is pretty reliabile. SAL shipping will save you money and is fast.

Did anyone notice the new colored image of Soundwave's alt mode? Pretty snazzy.

Format - Japanese electronics usually have display modes in Japanese and English (Real English). In addition - the iPod is Mac engineered so I have no doubt it will work in English.

When news of these first broke, I thought we where getting new molds, not just repaints. Still alot of these figures are really fun, and if you don't have them, you should realy look into them if you can.
