Finally something in Universe really worth getting.

The colour scheme might be a little off but the purple of it is very good. The smaller robots also have an OK scheme, well most of em.

I agree, market saturation is potentially a big problem for Hasbro. Universe is probably going to get axed unless it can be supported by fans buying the occasional figure which they missed in an earlier line.

Still, it's doubtful we'll see the Universe line in the UK.

If I saw one at retail, I might be up for a Snaptrap—rather like that figure.

I used to have Snaptrap.

But then, I decided to take all of this screws out...

Whats the best way to go about getting Universe:

Import from America, or ebay?

those colors are fugly
and the mis transfpormation doesnt do the gestalt any good
interesting to see though that two of the later combiners are suddenley get re released after years of recyceling the bruticus molds

i thought al the other gestalt molds had been damaged or destroyed
seems it was either not that damaged they reverse engineerd the toys or bought up a boot legging companies molds ( it coudl happen :p )

here is hoping for the rest to appear ( how ever un likley it might be )
and if you cut your self you wil think you are happy

come as you are as you were as i want you to be come doused in mud soaked in bleach come as a friend as a known enemy

Wonder how much it's going to cost imported. :(

If you still happen to have the pieces, y'know where my inbox is...

From sellers in the UK:

http://search.ebay.co.uk/transformers-u ... soloctogZ9

Fair bit available for import, too:

http://search.ebay.co.uk/transformers-u ... ageZsearch

With the £ as it is, I'd probably buy from a seller in the US...

That was years ago when I was a kid.

Long gone now.

Tsk, tsk. First rule of junior mechanics: disassemble at a rate you can fix.

So, I wonder if the sixth figure was 'reverse-engineered', or if Hasbro had a separate mould set to Takara?

Looks nice, I will be getting those. Piranacon was one of the few original gestalts I didn't have, so good choice on their part. ;)

Wow, I certainly never saw this coming. The Seacons are cool, especially Snaptrap, who would look awesome in any colors. Does anyone else think the gestalt head looks like it's screaming? ;)
