i thought thats how everyone said it, it is a French loan word after all.
what do you say? home-age?
on closer inspection, the face looks a bit derpy. kind of kills the rest of its sinister attitude with the Owen Wilson nose

That's a pretty weak connection; hardly an "homage".
are you really supposed to pronounce it AN HOMAGE? Iv'e always had issues with that...
That's always how I've pronounced it. It feels so wrong saying the H.

Wow that honestly looks amazing (Although i'm biased about beast wars)I hope domestic isn't an outrageously priced (aftermarket) retail exclusive like Spacecase

I don't dislike it. If he's on sale, or there's an offer on that I can get him a bit cheap when I'm getting Armour Topspin, I will possibly pick him up.

I just found a listing for a case assortment on a site called "Urban-Collector.com":
http://www.urban-collector.com/transfor ... 11685.html
The image shows Dark Steel (the Hasbro version) along with the new plane TF:
Certainly not worth buying a whole case over, but they list its availability as November, so at least we know when to start looking for them

The two unidentified ones are Armor Topspin and Air Raid, and "Sideswipe" is the aforementioned Darksteel.
So November huh? Great, just in time before my State-side visit ends. And two different kinds of Bumblebees in the same case?! Hasbro, wake up, this is overkill!
