It's a Japanese Voyager class Transformer for the cost of a new Figuarts.

I'd say it's decently priced.

Personally I just wish his lower arms weren't so scrawny. His backpack honestly doesn't bother me as much.

i bought alpha brovo for the be to complete the team. but i will say this i hate his arm mode and he looks fine and fits better as leg. plus i like a motocycle as my leg

I love that.

It's an easy fix, there are tutorials on youtube.

THAT IS AWESOME!

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to finish any combiner team with the international waves.

Yeah its pretty neat. I´m really tempted to get that one. I dig the design they did for Grimlock for that show.

Probably, yeah :lol

It's the best of both worlds, the original mold is fun, but I like this aesthetic way more.

Then again, it'd be kinda impossible to afford them anyways. :lol

So, I went to Wal*Mart today in hopes of snagging a Grimlock. Had the opportunity, but passed it up for 3 Mini-Cons. One name caught my attention and I had to have it. Plus I got 3 MC's for the price of 1 Grimlock....

And I thought my camera was bad...Oh wait, it still is.
But I'm having a hard time figuring out who you picked up.

Ratbat, Sandsting, and Velocirazor. All 1 step transformations, but I saw the name Ratbat and had a twinge of nostalgia.

So has anyone here ever owned any of the little Kabaya model kits? I hadn't had too much interest in them before, but I ordered the Seacons the other day since they're one of my favorite combiner teams. The only other model kits I've ever really built are Minipla, which these seem more or less comparable to. I'm looking forward to putting this set together and seeing how they compare.

And here they are with all of their little add-on things.

Cool, cool. They look pretty nice. I wish they weren't one step, or I'd probably be more interested in them.

As for the models, I hear they're fairly basic. I've never owned one, personally, but just by looking at pics online, they don't seem too shabby. They look about on par with, possibly a little better than, the Sentai mech models Bandai puts out.

The little additions to Sandsting are shark head halves. You can take them off and out them together to actually form a little purple shark head.

I think all the weapons from the wave are supposed to combine into since kind of shark thing if I remember correctly.

Now that you mention it, Velocirazor has a cannon piece that looks like a sharks tail. And two of the additions on Sandsting look like side fins. But their different colors...

Yeah, the colors don't match. But it's still a thing.

And apparently neither do the alignment of the characters that the pieces come from.

So, has there been a modern/updated version of Blaster released?

FOC had one.

But a more Blastery one apparently will be coming out with Titan Wars once Combiner Wars is over.

Well.....I like the Robot and Boombox mode. But that vehicle mode is utterly blech!!

SO it seems the live-action Transformers films might be getting a spinoff animated movie.

http://deadline.com/2015/09/transfor...-5-1201531918/

I'm not terribly excited about that.
Mainly because I've lost so much interest in the movie universe that it's hard to have any emotion beyond "Neat."

Yeah, I'm all for animated movies, but I really don't like the live-action movie universe at all. Still, hopefully it performs well enough that they decide it's worth doing more projects like this (Animated adaptation of LSOTW please!).

So does anyone remember the first MP Hot Rod/Rodimus?

We could be getting a new MP mold around the MP Lambo/Fairlady sizes.

http://news.tfw2005.com/2015/09/19/m...e-works-301558

Not bad, but if we're talking movie Transformers I rather want Galvatron :(

And prototype pics of the Boss Ape please.

Galvatron might end up being MP-30. The big purple cannon's too popular to ignore and hey once we get a MP Galvatron a toy/comic colored version's a safe bet.

I just want any Decepticons. That aren't repaints of the Autobot cars.

Galvatron does top that list though.

there was scan floating around of new mp hot rod

Takara dropped the bomb:

It's freakin Shockwave! Hype!

Hot rod looks ok the old chest of original hot rod could of been used on the new one and finally a decepticon

I'm really excited. We finally get another Decepticon that isn't a Seeker and it's Shockwave?!

Totally pleased with that.

Plus Hot Rod doesn't look that bad IMO. Even if I got him I'd still be tempted to get MP09 for a Rodimus to boot.

It's about time they made a MP Shockwave.

I've avoided getting MP Rodimus till now because of all the horror stories of it exploding into plastic shrapnel...glad I held off.

Rodimus 2.0 looks a little top heavy but Shockwave seems like all aces.

Really can't wait to see how these look in color.

Both of these look great. I never owned the original Masterpiece Rodimus, so I'll definitely be getting this one.

I'm much more excited for Shockwave though, it's great to finally get another Decepticon. Quakewave has been a great substitute up to this point, but I'm looking forward to getting the official version of the character.

Masterpiece Update:

Hot Rod is MP-28, Release February 2016, 8000¥.

The both look awesome hot rod chest is show accurate that takara intrest in the master piece line show making he thing look like character model in the show.

Yeah Takara really did well with these two. I probably won't buy Hot Rod, but he looks perfect. I'm really excited about Shockwave, I didn't expect his color to be so light but I really like it. Looks pretty cool in gun-mode too.

Can shock wave be good to use as a base remould for a new megatron due to legs look like it can be use for megs

I need to see how much they've changed on this new Hot Rod first.

Want to make sure they reworked/removed all the major QC issues from the last release.
