Okay that's confusing. I can't tell if tgat means Takara is going their own way while hasbro releases the pink, or if the whole run is being changed?

Oh god every time I see a new picture, the laziness of the figure torques me off all over again. This is Energon Ironhide's Head level of lazy.

I think it means the pink one is a prototype and the release figure in the East and West will be the darker one.
If you read between the lines there, I think that reads:
Takara: But the pink one looks better! Can we do the pink one?
Hasbro: No. You have to do what we do and boys won't buy pink toys so you have to do the brown one so we don't have to put up with our fans buying your one and calling us Hasblow again. It upsets us.

Anyone know when the Race Track Patrol are meant to be out? I don't think we know at the moment. All TF releases seem to be some way in the future. They're wave two, so they could appear anywhere between June and September... Best bet will probably be amazon.com when they get listed. Most of my MMs have come from there. Yep, same here. Not seen a listing for them there or anywhere else.

Before Slitherfang, when was the last time we had a new character without a humanoid robot mode?

A missed trick to get more people to buy the re-released Battlemasters: issue them with different coloured Fireblasts to their Siege versions.

Oh no. Don't tell Phil ironworks is going cheap, he'll buy dozens of them. Phil bought a fifth this morning from Games & Cards to go with his w1 Micromasters Since Ironworks is likely to be Greasepit as well, that's probably enough I've also seen some suggestion that Airwave is likely to be Hothouse thanks to the tank treads. I can just about see it....

Phil is considering the bigger picture with the need for multiple Airwaves etc down the line. How can I afford to buy 5 of each if I buy 20 Ironworks now?
