Maybe not quite in this detail, and not quite so far, but yeah that's about right nowadays
Certainly in time for the streams ;-)

I'm interested in what Straxus (Hooray! Hasbro got the naming rights back!) is going to transform into, unless it's just a slight retool of the Generations Darkmount mould.

I reacquired Generations Darkmount/Straxus last year and I am very happy with that. Whether I need another one demands on whether this hews closer to the Marvel character.

Given it's a comic toy line, one would hope it would!

I picked one up complete from eBay last year and I'm pretty happy with him. My only gripe is that he's a bit of a pain to pose and get standing up straight. Would be nice if they threw in a bonus 'Straxus head-in-a-tube' with the new one

There's actually 3 on eBay right now. . . One of which is Mint on Card at £60 (Buy it Now). The other two are Loose and £95 and £100 respectively.
Can't see the £60 MOC one hanging around too long!

Darkmount did get UK distribution - I can recall Asda having him - but his wave was the last to get UK distribution.
There was a later Generations wave of 1 per case mostly non UK release figures grey imported by TRU but he wasn't in that

Jolt and ratchet. Dollars to donuts this replicates the scene where dead jetfire becomes Optimus' armor. Jolt used his electrical powers to do it while ratchet directed him.

Ngh. Another Starscream. This is testing my resolve to go 100% on the Earthrise Jet mould.

I haven't managed to secure the transparent one yet. Really want that though.

I had considered that but am fearful it would shatter when transformed so pass.

I meant not easy to find cheapy cheap! Funnily enough, because I'd viewed that £60 one a couple of times, the seller offered it for £48. Unfortunately, it was time-limited and I missed the window, plus I'm saving what little I have left for Collectormania this weekend, otherwise I may have snapped it up at that price despite already having one.

With patience you could probably do much better than that anyway. After all, it isn't the ones that are currently on eBay that act as a price guide, it's the ones that recently sold!
At a quick glance the price of Darkmount fluctuates a lot, but as recently as January he sold for around 20 euros MOSC, though also once for closer to 90. US sellers seem to consistently sell him around the 30 mark, which depending on shipping is almost worth it. United Straxus is on a different level though...
I can imagine a lot of them being listed in the coming months now that the pipeline reveal has been made. It was noticable when that listings leak happened a month or so back that a whole bunch of Unite Warriors / Combiner Wars Aerialbots started turning up on the secondary market and we haven't even seen toys yet, let alone had their existence confirmed.
