They've been making citybots in the Galaxy scale, but I'd have loved a tiny chonky Grandus.

Funnily enough, one of the vendors at BotCon this year had two or three of Dag Base (Grandus's retool from from Brave Command Dagwon) for sale.

I wish they'd get around to the other Dinobots in robot mode for Defender scale. Ah, well. They ARE just one more dino mode one away from rounding out that group.

I'm waiting for Volcanicus. Although, I only have the metallic Grimlock, so he won't match. Oh well.

You're telling me Blokees doesn't have a reliable track record with completing teams?

It does vary. Teams and/or subsets get there eventually, but not always. They seem very keen on completing their Defender version combiners, and they're two for two on that (and perhaps will soon hit three with Volcanicus). We have all three main Seekers in robot mode and in jet mode. Unicron's TFTM squad is complete. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker showed up together.

But it's taken us until now to even see another Datsunbro, the robot mode Constructicons need to start showing up (honestly I'm still burnt out on them, releasing both robot and vehicle modes so close together was not a good idea).

I'm a little curious as to how the headliners for later Defender series will go. They doubled up on Japanese BW in series 7, and now Battlestars. I guess there's still Headmasters and Masterforce. If they get around to Unicron Trilogy, that'll tie me up for dang sure.

But really what I want most right now is Defender version Mega Man. It's PERFECT for it, and the Champion class designs they've shown are looking great.

Aren't Blokees made not by Hasbro, though? Blokees is a Chinese company separate from Hasbro and TakaraTomy.

If you really want a Blokees Grandus, you're ransom-noting the wrong people. ;)

Depends if he can see these posts or not.

I do remember seeing someone working on a 3D printed kit to turn TR Soundwave into Grandus, but I lost track of it a while ago.

From the front page: the next Galaxy Version wave. I don't really do this scale, but those Rodimuses have me tempted. And that Brainstorm looks cool.

Also a full look at TF Wheels 04 from the website, showing the chases. Hot damn. I kind of want to try getting Electrostatic Soundwave and Bug Bite on the secondary market for the look and for the Ratbat...
