Looks nice, and I'm glad TakaraTomy made a figure out of him as he had my favorite personality out of all the Starscream Clones. Having participated in the Family Mart drawings I have a couple on the way.

Randy

I totally forgot about this guy. Best colorway out of all the jets, even better than Skywarp. Seriously considering getting one now.

Um, no. While I agree that it's pretty awesome, no one defeats Skywarp!

Except TakaraTomy Skywarp!

Randy

That was the one I was talking about

I passed on the Hasbro Skywarp, but the TakaraTomy Activators Skywarp

I was talking about the Voyager one, but yeah that one is sexy! Love the changes made to it.

Randy

Any chance one of those Ramjets might not be spoken for already Randy?

I badly want this figure and will gladly pay the markup for it.




I am not paying tribute to his character at this moment.

Nice, though I'd be much more interested in a Voyager-size version.

Indeed, old friend. That Ramjet figure is most impressive and a true work of art by our human comrades.

Looks really nice. I hope I'll be able to get one.


Since this is being said to be the last, has the Mini EZ Collection figures came out yet? I haven't seen anything besides preorders.

Sorry Sprocket, it's already spoken for by someone else. I was hoping to get more (having a lot of the ticket/token stubs) but I was lucky to get these considering I missed the deadline (the guy who helped me sent these out on his own).

Randy

Terrible! I wish this hadn't been made! I'm relieved this didn't get released in the US, which isn't where I live anyway, because I never would have considered buying it!

It's funny the two toys this guy got, both are Japanese exclusives. It's a crime he never got any love in the US!

Randy

Have they done a G1 colored Activators Starscream? I would love to have all the seekers in this mold if thet did have a G1 inspried color set for Starscream

Thats exactly what Ramjet would say.

No.

Hasbro
Starscream
Dirge
Thundercracker

TakaraTomy
Starscream
Dirge
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Ramjet

The only difference between the 3 Activators released in both countries (primarily) is their symbols (or at least that's the gist of it).

Randy

well dang it Hasbro do two 3 packs Starscream Thundercracker Skywarp and Dirge Ramjet and Thrust and I would buy thim even with my no recolor policy

I gotta admit i liked the Animated actavators

I think the Starscream Clones were better than the Voyagers in almost every way.

Randy

Agreed.

Now where can I find Ramjet for a reasonable price?

Probably no where. He cost 3500 yen to begin with (over $40) and you had to buy 500 yen tickets to even be able to order him. So the minimum he'd likely cost is $75 I'm thinking. I paid $40 for mine (cost plus ticket).

Also I forgot Black Rodimus is still coming, so Ramjet is the 2nd Last Animated figure from Japan (unless they announce something else).

Randy

Another gallery of Ramjet.

I read the wiki and skimmed this thread, but I'm still not sure I know: what exactly did one have to go through to get one of these figures?

It was the consolation prize for the Family Mart drawings. You had to buy tickets for the store drawing, clip off the stubs, then mail away the stubs with $40 or so to claim your Ramjet.

Not a cheap endeavor.

Oops! I must have missed your post, Randy.

It's cool. It's too bad they didn't manage to do a Sunstorm and Slipstream out of the Activator size, just to complete the set of Clones.
