C.O.I.L.S. Mindtwisting Army Tightens Around Traders Galaxy For BOT WAR
October 1, 2021 by avernos
Traders Galaxy continues their relentless mission to empty the wallets of all fans of giant retro robots with a mind bending release of their new C.O.I.L.S. Mindtwisting Megabox which is now up for pre-order between 1st and 8th of October.
Limited Edition Ghost // BOT WAR
This Megabox contains all the new releases and barring some existing squishy humans the range is entirely new and available in one bundle for those of you who want to run an evil corporation of mad scientists, machines, and of course Bots! The box is a limited release with only 40 copies available and will include two versions of Ghost, the standard model based on the artwork and the limited running version you can see in the render above.
It is due to ship in late December or early January so while it may not make it under the tree it can be a lovely present to yourself to kick off the new year, after which they will be available in the normal booster and starter boxes.
Messenger // Traders Galaxy
The box is packed with everything you need to keep you busy until the weather warms up enough to leave the house again in spring.

Conspiracy Is Not A Theory
Conspiracy is one of the combiners and weighs in at a whopping 140mm so there will be no doubt in people's minds that it is real and I don't think a tinfoil hat will save you from this guy.
As you can see there is a ton of stuff in this box and they look despicably fantastic from the Bots to the vehicles of the human minions of Dr Mindtwist prepare yourself for a cornucopia of C.O.I.L.S.
C.O.I.L.S. // Bots
C.O.I.L.S. // Ground Vehicles
C.O.I.L.S. // Aircraft
As seems to be the case every time I look at what is coming out of Traders Galaxy I'm kicked right in the nostalgias, the Bots themselves are great and I am smitten with the aesthetic on these guys, but then who wouldn't like to play as a giant robot ninja? With missiles!
That this faction blends the Bots with a lot of vehicles really brings home the scale of these gargantuans on the table that is sometimes lost when you see Bot punching Bot, although I do still enjoy seeing that. Definitely a set to grab if you fancy getting the awesome alternative Ghost and if you can't wait to have everything from the worlds second most evil corporation.
Will you be launching a BOT WAR?

‘eavy choppa! Get to it!
Great looking new figures shame it’s limited edition but.
They actually remind me of a GI.Joe force?
the box with the second alternative sculpt is limited edition you can go nuts on general release but if you want different Ghost then you need the big box o’fun
So those are basically Transformers Vs. G.I. Joe as miniatures.
Vyper Assault Vehicle = Cobra Stinger
A.B.T = HISS Tank
Nightbird = Night Raven
Attack Jet = Cobra Rattler
Heavy Chopper = Cobra Transport Helicopter from comic books
Drone Chopper = Cobra Fang
nope it’s Transformers and GI Joes Vs Other Transformers, or M.A.S.K 🙂 I love the whole blending of my childhood
Gosh, those a just poking the part of my brain marked “Action Force/GIJoe” aren’t they?
I’m currently painting some Bot War forces to do some playthroughs down the line, they are so much fun
Conspiracy is just a big ass bot, not a Combiner 😉
