looks damn good though

I'm already looking forward to the no money I'mma have this summer.

See, now this is a much more logical "I have to let this one go" sacrifice.

$150 (even way out in may) is too much for me right now. I got Hasbro pushing RID (and FOC soon enough), two more rounds of Giant, PE's take Arcee; something has to give. If I'm in a better place come late April (and he's still available) I'll go all in.

While this mammoth is beautiful (and I do believe he is freaking huge), he's on back burner duty.

I love the look of it, but that price is just way too much for me. Maybe if it goes on sale I'll pick one up.

That right arm doesn't look like it has much mobility. It looks like a shed stuck on the side.

Good thing that May comes after April then, eh?

In all seriousness, I hope you're able to get it.

They used purple, yay!

I'm with Requiem, the next few months are pretty rough. Don't forget Hegemon in June! Looking at MMC's record with Knight Morpher, I think I'll be okay waiting for some early adopters to review. Mind you, I really hope this release goes without fail, because Cyclops looks BEAUTIFUL! That price just needs to be a wee bit smaller.

PRE-ORDERED!

I've been looking forward to this figure for a long time. He will look awsome next to my mp-figs and combiners. Now if Takara would only get to making a true mp shockwave and soundwave I'd be set.....maybe....probably not.

Wait, this is a different Hearts of Steel Starscream right? the one we saw before wasn't by Mastermind Creations if I recall correctly, can't remember who it was by though.

Now that is sexy. :APPLAUSE:

Cyclops, I had my flexability hat for compromises, like having a quarter of the boat for a forearm. But this I can't find any issues I'll just have to deal with.

I may forgo Cyclops all together and save my pennies for Screamer.

i forgot to mention earlier, but is BBTS our first mention of pre-orders? I'm stunned... unless Mastermind set up and exclusive deal, but that wouldn't be in their favor.

Soooo psyched for Starscream, he's my absolute favorite design from that series. Hope they do Thundercracker and Skywarp, too.

Hell yeah!

Shockwave pre-ordered and I can't wait for Starscream and the inevitable Skywarp and Thundercracker repaints!

I'm sorry, but that has got to be one of the most uninspiring paint apps on a 3rd party Transformer that I have ever seen. For $159 you get grey and flat purple? Well two shades of purple, but they look very close to the same color. Please tell me it is a prototype! I really wanted this one bad when I saw it several months ago. But now it is an easy pass, unless of course that isn't the finished product.

Posted by barricade2218 on February 21st, 2012 @ 5:43pm CST

These third party prices are really getting out of control...I had planned on getting this but not for $160. Of course, as long as people keep paying these prices they will keep overcharging us.

Re: MMC News: KM-03 Knight Morpher Cyclops Pre-Orders & KM-05 Air Screech Teaser (1350093)
Posted by Lapse Of Reason on February 21st, 2012 @ 6:13pm CST

I think $160 is a fair price. It is a large figure made in relatively small batches for an extremely niche market. Considering the $150 that reissue Sixshot will be, or the $80 to $100 FansProject figures, $160.00 isn't too bad.

I like the look of Cyclops. I have on pre order for now. Hopefully, the quality is solid.

Not sure. It is the first image of the final colours for this figure, so the only ones that know for sure are MMC.

Posted by alternator77 on February 21st, 2012 @ 8:07pm CST

i really dont get all of the whining over the price :roll:

honestly you are getting a figure engineered from the ground up in a style you will likely never see in a major retailer and for what the remodded official mp's will go for with larger production runs.seriously you want to whine go whine about pe arcee a deluxe for $100 bucks.

considering that you are getting a 3rd party release that from the info provided would equal or exceed the size/mass of unicron(the second largest tf ever made because lets face it herc is only primus sized :roll:

dispite the hype) thats fantastic accomplishment and although i dont collect the HOS line i commend MMC for a wonderful addition to an already impressive line.

sorry for the rant just got tired of the complaining on the price >:oP

Lavenx.blogspot.com has posted an extensive pictorial review of the MMC KM-03 Knight Morpher Cyclops (HoS Shockwave) prototype that has been making the rounds. The images show off the figure's many fine details in both iron-clad steamboat and robot modes. The figure comes in at approximately Leader class size, he towers over MMC's first release KM-01 Knight Morpher. Many more images can be found by clicking here, we've mirrored a few below.

The figure is priced at approximately $160.00 and scheduled to release in May. Check our sponsors for pre-orders.

I wonder why they gave him those ridged Rail Racer fingers, those don't really look that good when you open them.

I know I'm nitpicking but for the price you'd think they'd give him something that's not as "old fashioned". :oops:

I hope they release one in the Shackwave colors.

It would be a cool homage, and look more like the real craft after which he is modeled.

Much like the black and gold version of Prime.

My WALLET hopes they don't.

I do not like this design. You would figure if they are making a homage to SHOCKWAVE, it would at least be PURPLE. Easy pass for me. Very happy with the DoTM SHOCKWAVE. He fits in well with my Classics line. Having anything else is simply illogical.

The arm kibble is ridiculous, but dead on compared to the actual comic design. Fortunate/unfortunate.

I was wondering when we'd get to see those pics full size. =) Looks slick and I can't wait to save up and nab him when it comes out.
