"I can't take on Dark Scoponok ... unless I put on my pumps!"

Okay, this may, in fact, be the most stupid Transformers gimmick ever to come out, even beating out Pretenders and Action Masters. It's the robot equivalent of Elevator Shoes...

Definately! I hope they don't start making a 'short' mode for all those guys, that would be really sad.

It's probaby part of the transformation process, and not an official mode. At least I hope not . . .

He's the Giant Planet guy. Apparently getting taller is the best Giant-themed gimmick they could come up with.

"Enuck Chuck!" *legs fold out*

Are there any other Giant Planet TFs scheduled to be released?

None scheduled, only animation models leaked.

Thought there's the rumor of the Galaxy Force toyline's cancellation, and F2F reporting that Megalo Convoy will be the last GF release for this year.

I see. Wasn't sure if I missed any. Guess not.

It's only the two others, if I'm remembering right. Cement Mixer and a digger? With only the two remaining figures, I wouldn't quite rule them out of the Japanese market just yet... though it does look pretty grim for Transformers over there. (Only Alternators gets any hints of continuing...)

More than likely, us Yanks'll see the two new molds, plus some 'new' guys to add to it - also like with the big construction motif. (Perfect excuse to remold both Armada Scavenger and Armada Smokescreen, as well as a recolor of Guardshell as LandQuake...)
