Transformers Star Saber is available for pre-order. I pilfered the pictures off of TFSource.com’s listing for Star Saber and you can pick him up at BigBadToyStore.com. Star Saber is generating some controversy on the fwoosh forums.
Why is Star Saber so important? Before IDW, he was the Supreme Commander of the Autobots, you heard me, in the dying years of the G-1 cartoon this guys was the answer to the Autobot problems, he was the man, the myth and the legend. And he was a departure from our normal Transformer look, in fact he looked more like a Gundam or other amime space property than Transformers. On top of that, prior to this announcement, Star Saber wasn’t a household name like Optimus Prime. In recent years, IDW messed with his origin and history. A lot, he’s some sort of old Cybertronian psycho these days, which really pains me. I like the concept of the original Star Saber and think he’s a great character.
Whether or not you think this is a valid entrant into your Masterpiece collection, he is getting made. And you will buy him. Pick him up today!
