jenius Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Is MP-11T a legit TakaraTomy release or another CCC release? I'm wondering which store I'll have to order through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Idk. I don't keep up with seekers... but I see it showed up at BBTS and TFsource first - so probably not a japanese release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechapilot77 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) thundercracker is a takara tomy mall exclusive...limited to 2000 or was it 4000 unites domestically in japan. sort of like a bandai tamashi nations exclusive...hlj etc wont' have it. nippon yasan may evetnaully stock (scalp it)....but asian retailers have the slightly wider asian/international release (and that is what the american retialers will get too IIFC...this is just like blue bluestreak) Edited August 31, 2015 by Mechapilot77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 i'm a bit confused with the different TF lines these days, so pardon the silly questions: - is Combiner Wars same as the Unite series? - are CW and Unite same "scale" as MP? basically, i'm looking to get a Predaking, Menasor, Bruticus, and Superion, that would be roughly the same size as Maketoys Green Giant. appreciate recommendations. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 To answer your questions: Unite Warriors (from Takara) has the combiners from Combiner Wars done as gift-sets. They are not in scale with Masterpieces except for CW Devastator. Some recommendations. For Menasor I would go with the FansProject one because he has the same design than Green Giant. Here is a picture from seibertron.com You see CW Superion is roughly the same size as Giant so should be Menasor and the upcoming Bruticus (made from Hot Spot). If you want to be G1 accurate I would go with the Unite Warriors gift sets from Takara because they have all the G1 bots and not their Hasbro replacements. Also you don't have to hunt them down individually It is also rumored that Unite Warriors Bruticus will have a retooled Blast Off that looks actually like a Shuttle. The Hasbro version will have a brown colored Arialbot. You can buy the gift sets from Japanese import stores like HLJ. The Protectobots will be a Takara Mall exclusive so you have to go through a middle man. Menasor: http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT83172/Sci Superion: http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT83168/Sci There are no information on Bruticus but he should be out soon. Hasbro said at Botcon that they won't do any beast combiners so your out of luck for Predaking. For him you could also go third party and I recommend Feral Rex (easily the best of the three not Predakings) but he is expensive. You can find them at different retailers and they also releasing a Nero Rex gift-set in black and purple. But their Reformatted style is not really compatible with CW and MP (well maybe with CW). Here is a comparison pic with Green Giant from Cybertron.ca: The Unique Toys Warlord is probably available at a discount and it goes well with the Classics style. He is bigger as Green Giant: However he has many parts formery bits like the whole chest and waist area of Predaking where Feral Rex is mostly perfect transformation. He is probably the one with the most QC issues like poor design and bleeding paint apps. The other not-Predaking is TFCs Ares. He is the same size as their Hercules (so he is quite a bit bigger than Green Giant) with the same Unicron trilogy style. I don't like the aesthetic and it seems that TFC has not made any improvements to their toys after Hercules. I haven't found any good comparison pictures. Hope that helps.

Valkyrie2008 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Finally, a BLUE-Streak! This is the Bluestreak I remembered seeing as a kid, I guess it's because of the name. This version of Bluestreak is Prowl's twin brother, same head scluped just different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 And Roadrage is pushed back from October to December. I don't mind because it gives me more budget for FansToys and MMC releases. I'm still super excited about MP Tracks and can't wait to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) New diaclone/Ehobby/Autocar - because you don't have enough red and white lambo's in your life. Came up on TFsource and BBTS quick - wonder if the japanese sites will carry it. I assume so. Edited September 11, 2015 by Gakken85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakken85 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) It's some 2003 Ehobby combo pack diaclone guy. And there are several clampdowns in the TF universe to make it more confusing.

CoreyD Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I've always loved the prowl as lambo concept, so yeah, I ordered that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 thanks Scyla, that helps a lot. just to confirm, the Unite Warriors sets are roughly same height as Green Giant? (giver or take an inch either way). i found this pic, but i think Devastator is the Hercules one, which i know is bigger than Green Giant.

Scyla Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Since I don't own the toys I can say for sure. Maybe you get a better response if you ask on a Transformers centric message board. Here is a link where you can find more comparison shots: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/video-review-transformers-generations-combiner-wars-breakdown/32351/ With Menasor keep in mind that there is an alternate hip transformation that allows for a sleeker silhouette (and I think hip movement) that makes him an inch or so taller.
