I just noticed this thread and had G1 Snarl sitting nearby, so I thought I'd join in. The launcher fits into the shoulder of Snarl, so in Robot mode it's 11cm from the floor. Attempt 1 didn't even leave the launcher. Attempt 2 made it 13.2 cm. All things considered, it'd be more of a threat to himse...

Spoke to a friend from school who is now a consultant on this (not sure what he's consulting on) and he confirmed the Devastator thing. However, interestingly, he also said that the script still changes slightly every now and then, and that Devastator could theoretically be replaced by another huge ...

Apparently, Devastator is going to be in it, as a combiner!

My missis tends to refer to all my toys as "tat", and sighs heavily when a new one arrives.

This is a bit odd. A second mini Defensor has turned up!

It arrived through the post this weekend, and has no return address on it, so I can't even send it back.

I'm sure I only bought one. Perhaps there's going to be a whole army of them!

That's devastator.
I'd get him before the dino's. Actually, I'd get all versions of him before the dino's.

Even if he's fragile, that's a cool little Defensor. The KO companies must use KO glue on their stickers, they ALWAYS fall off! I see some of Defensors starting to go already! He is cool; the only problem with fragility is Groove's front wheel. I don't dare turn it round! The stickers came like tha...

Finally got some photos; not great quality because they're from the mobile 'phone but you can at least get some idea of mini Defensor from them. I've put a normal sized Beachcomber in to give an idea of the size. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c123/Uncletrunx/18082008138.jpg http://i26.photobucke...

Well, The mini Defensor has arrived, and there are a few things to note about him. 1st: He is fragile. Being that size and made up of individual transformable robot parts it was bound to be the case, but having had to make a repair to his head after the very first attempt at un-combining him, I can ...

Surely Galvatron would win it if he's Megatron upgraded?

Unless he's like Windows, and gets worse with upgrading!

WST combiners

Does anyone have any experience of these? I'm tempted by Defensor (always had a soft spot for him) but I'm not sure of the quality. I'm pretty sure that he's a KO but then the WST Dinobots are KOs and they're great. Any thoughts and experiences welcomed. Especially if they're known to break if you s...

Wow, that's really good news. Keep us posted, I'd be intrigued to see your designs and it would be great if they actually got added to the TF universe.

Oh, and if you happen to grab a life-size Grimlock and smuggle it out under your coat, I'd be interested in giving you a fiver for it.

Where do you live?

If in the USA, I think there are some really good places with a good selection.

In the UK, it's more limited although access to the Official European Release ('80s) Zoids is easier.

Ah, the Zoids themselves.

Various online stores have them, if you don't want an '80s original they can be very reasonable. As an alternative, there's the usual ebay type sources, or you can take a trip to Asia where they're still available in toy shops.
