If you look at the Automaton listing, it says Takra-Tomy and if you look at the BBTS listing it's for the Hasbro version. If you look on BBTS they have the Takra-Tomy version too.

Perfect. Thanks. I looked but didn't see it.

If I am not mistaken, Automaton has not put up Hasbro Metroplex for sale (yet). The one they have on the website is Takara's version that an extra weapon and chrome parts and is imported from Japan hence the price difference. BBTS is offering the domestic Hasbro version at 109$.

On a related note, now that BBTs has the Hasbro version up? I assume our favorite Canadian e-tailer will follow suit soon?

Hey Mario. Any news on the MMC Predaking Feral Rex, for both the previous preorders (Divebomb and Tantrum) and any current preorders for other Feral Rex bots?

Website says they are in stock now and orders are processing (as well as CA-11 Down Force), so hopefully they'll be arriving in mailboxes some time next week!

The website says that Down Force pre-orders are processing. I pre-ordered on May 2nd. Should I be concerned if I haven't received my invoice yet?

I noticed a few new additions to Automaton recently (for those who don't check every day like I do):
- TFC-08 Wings of the Uranos (extra guns, etc add-on set for not-Superion)
- Nemean, the first member of TFC Project Ares / not-Predaking ($144!)
- iGear sharkticons 3-pk
- SXS-R01: Continuously Variable (what is this? kinda looks like Gears?)
- The Hasbro version of Metroplex (Takara version is already listed awhile ago)
- MMC Feral Rex R-04 Leo Dux
