Ah I was going to read Robots after MTMTE but maybe I'll pause now and catch up there. At what point does Robots begin to hit that cross over with Dark Cyberton?
At the exact same time, since both collections started at the same time, so they were at the same issue when the crossover happened. #1 of Dark Cybertron is an independent one-shot (because of course it wouldn't be confusing enough otherwise), but then #2 is MTMTE #23, #3 is RiD #23, #4 is MTMTE #24, #5 is RiD #24, and so on until the end.
Yeah, that's definitely something to give anyone pause. It's mostly for people like me that are REALLY invested in collecting and have wanted a Devastator since they were kids. :D
know in the LEGO world stuff like that eventually comes on sale. Is this something I can wait for or do transformers work in a limited quantity and than they are gone?
The Japanese version of Devastator is unlikely to ever go down in price, methinks. If Hasbro reissues the American version, it's possible it will eventually go lower in price (it did, right before it was sold out, as stores were clearing out stock). Then again reissues rarely go low in price because they're made in much smaller amounts, so there's that.
Oh, you got it already? That's cool! :)
