aww yeah!

[shockwing]

Armada, Energon, Universe, Japanese Exlusive, and now Amazon Exlusive.......rather than repainting the same figure, they could make a metroplex, trypticon, grandus, omega supreme, etc

But a new mold of that size could probably cost a lot more money than Hasbro feels could be recouped. I'm sure that we'll get the cityformers in the Cyberverse line in smaller classes like voyagers or ultras, though. :)

[Shockwave 75]

Did they fix the way the ring/wings are held in place in bot mode from the original? Or am I just not seeing how they've done it here.

I always have to have the big planet claws holding up the wings.

[jackwacko]

I was like AWW YAAA when they showed it... until I saw "Amazon Exclusive'....

[Bruticus82]

Does amazon.com not ship to Canada?

They shipped me a DOTM Shockwave last week. Seems like some toys they still don't though.

[hardreturn]

i was wondering as well.

if i remember, if they sell it directly they do but not if it's a third party selling through amazon. i may be completely wrong on that though.

[Stapler]

I don't I can justify buying this to replace my Universe 2.0 version. I'm happy with what I have, even though I would love to have this version and all it's G1 glory.

[jackwacko]

I feel like they really got their money's worth on this mold.. He's probably the only thing good coming out of Armada ^^;

[SleeplessKnight]

I have the 2011 Takara one and I love that one but this one...

This one...

Green eyes - check

non-clear grey right hand - check

I may have to get this one too.

I've ordered a couple of things off of them. The last thing I ordered they sent to Cambridge, VA instead of Cambridge, ON. At least they gave me a prompt refund.

I was going to order something last week, so I checked into DOTM toys. I could order Shockwave (which, after tax and shipping brought it to Canadian retail price) but they wouldn't ship Skyhammer at all. Don't understand that. Shockwave okay, Skyhammer no way. It had nothing to do with the total size of the order, and both were sold directly from Amazon.

The Unicron is nice, and I wouldn't mind replacing mine with it, but I probably won't.

hhmmm...ya, I think I might be happy I didn't open up my Takara one. For the points you made, this one may just be a liiiiittle better.

[Vain]

I'm all over this,going to keep a close watch on it. Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg.

I believe I read $59.99 US retail. That may be speculation so take it for what its worth.

[Cheers Ian]

Hopefully this one will qualify for "FREE Super Saver Shipping" and I'll have it shipped to an address in the US.

Sweet.

[Prowl_2009]

Love the colors, he looks great! ;)

[anotheran]

If it's $60, I'm going to pick it up to replace my armada unicron! I was really tempted to pick up the 2010 version but the price was a major put off.

[UltraMarknus]

Sweet.

Same...if its being sold by Amazon, chances are really good it will be free shipping.

Now, time to check if I have a box big enough to ship, and list my 2010 version while prices are still high.

[CETERUS PRIME]

I would think this latest version at such a good price will only make those who are selling the Takara versions suffer.

[Team Jetfire]

Looks cool, but I'm in no rush to replace my old one.

[SanMiguel]

this looks cool....will keep my eyes open for this fella but i also need a loose one for a custom project.....

[Akroyer]

Looks cool, but I'm in no rush to replace my old one.

Same here, I'm quite happy with my old one.

[UltraMarknus]

After looking at the images again...yyeeahhh...I think I will actually hang on to the Takara 2010 one. This new one seems to be gold and metalic with blue. Maybe a comic version ala MP Grimlock? I like the green eyes a lot, the price and less translucent hand it appears to have. But the Takara paint scheme is G1 perfection. I shall not settle for an inferior destructor of worlds!

[SleeplessKnight]

I have the Takara version and that one is awesome. This one is awesome as well. Therefore, I shall have both. Perfect for me to have one in robot mode, one in planet mode, and my old Armada version just for playing around with. Yes, I have a horrible Transformers addiction.
