Had the 11B and loved it. Traded it in for a 11C (didn't want to have both) and I love that even more. In terms of design, construction and quality it's Yamato's best so far. If you like how the VF-11 looks it's unlikely you'll be disappointed by the 1/60 toy.

The computer and internet you are using to post your comments? Without those things your call for the murder of a quadriplegic wouldn't be heard by as many people.

The planet has been scheduled for demolition this Thursday to make way for a hyperspace bypass anyway, so I don't see what the point of all this speculation is. Surely you guys know about this? It's been posted at Alpha Centauri for the last 50 years.

In this photo you can see some ridges/detents in the arm/elbow articulation. I think it's safe to assume the shoulders will also have detents/ratchets.

I'm not going to drink the panic juice until the thing is actually in peoples hands.

I saw Mindwipe once, which is the one I own. I was originally going to think about it and get him later and I'm glad I didn't. On the flipside, I bought a HA Jazz last week for $50 because I was certain I would never see him on the shelf. Yesterday I saw 4 of them at Target.

That's exactly what it's for. All the HA figures have a peg so the humans can stand on their hand. Personally I think Jazz's claws looks better holding a human figure by the head.

Found a Hubcap and Crossovers Yoda today. Hubcap is excellent: Really nice looking in both modes and lots of articulation. Yoda is cool because he's a Yodabot, but beyond that he kind of sucks as a toy.

The last several pages of that thread really have some old-fasioned Macross World style sleuthing, right down to photos with circled parts and fan-drawn diagrams. I like this recent theory.

Thanks for that! The canopy is so tight on mine that I usually don't bother opening it. Nice to know there's an "emergency release" method.

Oh now that's just filthy.

After seeing this batch I can't help but think they will give us a Classics/Generations/Whatchamacallit G1 style Soundwave later next year. I know the WFC Soundwave is in the Generations line, and I think he looks fantastic, but he doesn't quite fit the aesthetic. And as much as I love the MP3 Soundwave he doesn't quite match the Classics aesthetic either. And yes, the G1 reissue from TRU was considered part of the Classics line, but he doesn't fit in at all (awesome though he still is!). He's one of the last few super-popular characters left to be made in the Classics style so I'm sure we'll get him. Hell, we got a Classics casette even, but no true Classics Soundwave to put him in. But yeah, Kup, Shockwave and Wheeljack really need to be done. And Wreck-Gar. And Springer (although Warbot fills in nicely). And since Powerglide, Windcharger and Seaspray got up-sized, I'd like to see Cosmos, Wheelie, Beachcomber and Warpath get made in at least scout size. And I still can't accept Blue Peg as Blurr so they need to do a proper Blurr. Interesting how this overload of awesome new TFs just makes me pine for even more.

Do you guys not like Scourge because alt mode isn't close enough to G1, or because you think it looks bad in general? Just curious, not interested in criticizing your opinion. I actually like his new alt mode better than the G1 version. It kinda reminds me of Bumblebee's cybertronian alt mode in the first episode of the G1 series (which we still need a toy of!). As for Titanium Scourge, I dig that toy. He's a little stiff and boring to transform, but he's a solidly constructed little guy and one of my favorite Titanium figures.

Good point. Hopefully we'll see some pics of the cab by itself soon - that should answer some questions.

More proof that the MP will be both Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime: Two hoods, each with a different shape and different headlights.

Well, Scourge can technically be several bad guys.

*ahem* OH MY GOD SCOURGE! OH MY GOD JAZZ!! OH MY GOD TRACKS!!! OH MY GOD PERCEPTOR!!!! OH MY GOD WINDCHARGER!!!!! OH MY GOD G1 LEGENDS PRIME, MEGATRON and STARSCREAM!!!!!! *breathes into paper bag*

I think it still remains to be seen exactly how the cab will be on the MPRP. I wouldn't be surprised to see a cab that looks good with or without the trailer/camper.

Oh yes, the poor kitty has come under attack many times. That's what spring-loaded projectiles were made for, no? :3

I play with them, my wife plays with them, so there's no one to bust in my household. Except the cat, but I expect that if I ever caught him whoosing around a valk I would have far greater things to worry about...like how he grew opposable thumbs.

Heh, I searched for "Peg" on Hasbro Toy Shop for a few minutes before remembering that it was just our silly fan name for Drift. It was VFTF1 that coined the name earlier in this thread. I like what I'm seeing there. I'm still not sure it's a Hot Rod/Rodimus combo though. He looks kind of like Hot Rod in bot mode but strictly like Rodimus in alt mode. If it does have the capability to turn into Hot Rod it would have to be a sort of Hot Rod/Rodimus hybrid look. I'd be fine with that, but I'd be fine with just Rodimus, too. I have to admit though, I have no interest in trailers that transform into bases. I really wish they would have shown him sans trailer...

I'll keep an eye out for you guys. I've got the MP version so I don't have a need for this one. Peg and Thrust are hitting some Targets in full force around here. Hopefully that means they will be very easy for everyone to find soon.

Well you're obviously lying and making that up. A few people over at TFW shared that same email a few days ago and people were accusing them of fabricating it. Kind of a crappy policy to uphold when they keep pushing the release date back. Hopefully it doesn't result in people having to re-place their orders, espeically now that the price has been raised.

I'll most likely pass on it, but only because the Hi Metal keeps me from feeling any desire to own this one.

Honestly the Hi Metal looks vastly superior to me (I just prefer it's aesthetic), but I'll wait and see what the production toy looks like. So far though the most excitement I get from this is the prospect of a VF-17 following it.
