Following on from our fresh look at the Maketoy Tanker Trailer earlier, Maketoy have updated their website with new images of Giant, including a clear look at the first of the six Giant members. Details on pricing, release and colors for Giant have been revealed.
The six tall smaller robots who make up Giant will be sold in packs of two, retailing for 10’500 yen. That works out at about $136 based on the current exchange rate. The first set of two is due out in December, with more releases to follow in January and February. A giftset containing all six releases is set for a February release, priced at 31’500 yen or $410.
The only kicker though – the single packs will be a yellow version, not the traditional Constructicon green. If you want Giant in green, you’ll need to wait for the giftset in February.
Details have also been released for the Bomber and Hover mini robots, these are also confirmed to be in a pack of two and are slated for October. They are sized at 8cm tall and priced at 3’150 yen, or a little over $40.

Well, profile-wise he is perhaps the least likely Constructicon I'd expect to switch sides. Hook or Long Haul are pretty normal guys who just do their jobs, and Scavenger is someone who has a desperate need for friends or to fit in, so I could buy any of them joining the Bots before the guy whose favoruite activity is smashing buildings and their occupants, and then going back to grind what's left into dust.

I have a feeling that's what it's going to be, in that order. Especially since they keep showing Scavenger and Bonecrusher more than the others.
frenzyrumble
wow. these look amazing.

That's the perfect way to go down. You will be hyped until the Body release because you can't even form anything until then.

Makes the most sense, no?

it appears from the concept art that the 6 bots really have 3 heights, and if the first two color bots of the same height are an indication that they'll be release as the first pack, it's possible that the 3 two-packs will be pairs with the same height.
Guesses on the next 2 packs?

They look good but don't feel like constructicons to me. I'm getting more of a buildking feel out of it.
MegaMoonMan
Damn those look good. Still need to wait for green though.
Keith Prime
Only thing notable about Bonecrusher was his anger problem. If I had a clue beyond that, I'd've at least mentioned it.
Matty
I wonder what it could symbolize though. Anything from mythos? I can't recall anything.
exomega255
actually it reminds me a bit of the game Virtual On
Keith Prime
Maybe the blue for Bonecrusher symbolizes something? The Concept art shows all the others w/ Red eyes.
exomega255
I kinda like the blue eyes. It makes it diff from the Geewun version even more. blue is a nice color on yellow though. I can almost make them the "heroic" constructicons.
General Tekno
Oh man. REALLY can't decide if I want green or yellow now.
deaculpa
Hot except the blue eyes. I thought these were supposed to have CAT logos though :/
OptimusTimelord
Looking surprisingly nice! Still not enough to make me want the yellow versions, but gives me added confidence that the green box set is going to look really awesome!

Link please. Thanks.

blue eyes? come on man
but in all seriousness they look really good in color, really looking forward to seeing it in green
exomega255
these were on the unblurred thread too, but thanks for mirroring them!
