Via TOYPLUS-玩聚物语on weibo we have new images of the upcoming Iron Factory IF EX-26A Racing Bros Annihilator (Legends Scaled G1 Red Alert).
Another interesting addition to the growing Legends scaled market. IF EX-26A Racing Bros Annihilator is the next remold and release after IF EX-26 Iron Factory BlazeDash (Sideswipe) and Bolt Sprint (Sunstreaker). For a figure of this size, this mold looks very detailed and articulated, including Red alert’s rifle and shoulder cannon, with a solid alt mode. We are sure this will be a nice piece for any Legends scaled collection.
No release date or pre-order yet, but the announcement indicates it will be available soon. While we wait, you can check out the mirrored images after the jump and join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Did some digging on ebay. Found it listed by a user called yaweg0. Can't find any feedback posted here but from what I can tell on their ebay feedback, the worst of it is slow shipping and poor communication, likely due to language barriers. Seller's at 96% positive otherwise. For 30$ I'll take a chance on it.
If anyone else is interested, he's got one left. Here's the link.

That's the problem with iron factory releases. Once they are gone, they are gone. Gotta buy them quick

Anyone know where to pick this guy up? I can't find him anywhere. Thought I saw him in stock in a few places last week, but not anymore.

Yeah I'm not happy with my MS Sideswipe, could have been much better. Oh well, it's good enough just needs a new noggin
IronMagnus
I would've done it the other way around… I'm not a fan of the MS versions of these guys, but at least their Red Alert has the doors coming off the shoulder.

Finally broke down and bought this dude. I have MS Sideswipe and having a different mold for a "repaint" character makes them more unique. Gonna cast this guy's head though and put the spare on the MS body. The stock head for that figure is terrible. Glad I ordered this guy before he dried up everywhere.

I don't even like Red Alert as a character, but see this guy slowly selling out.
Picked him up to Display with my BC Red Alert.
Had to scratch that itch for some more plastic.

They seriously need to reissue that prime!

I am selling 2 extra of these which I got from netclow. They came taped (tape is clear this time).
EDIT: Sold!

Seeing all three together is awesome, now IF need to make the rest of the 84-85 carbots. I NEED THEM!!!
Nemesis Otaku
I don't recall, but I'm going to bet I didn't purchase from him.
OCProwl
Did you order from netclow? He seems to be the only seller doing this or having a special arrangement with IF.

Ah, my bad. In my case, my box didn't have any tape. No yellow tint, nor clear.

Re: tape – We're referring to the yellow-ish tape used to "factory seal" the actual item, not the thick yellow tape used for the shipping box. See photo. I think the crux of the complaint was why does it have to be this yellow-ish tape, rather than just clear tape. Personally this doesn't bother me but I think the yellow tape looks unappealing; I just take it off.

Hoping to pick this bad boy up at TFN next weekend. It's the first time I'm really having to curb my spending so I'm looking for smaller figures to sate my lust…

Got him in hand today :View attachment 28052713

I should get my package on Thursday, so that's exciting. As for this whole tape thing, I don't get what the fuss is about. My Warpath came in a styrofoam box covered in a thick layer of yellow tape, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

But, he's only talkin' about Twist ties?
