    True but like others have said this Leader Prime mold has some sentimentality to me. It's an impressive mold and I only have the darker Striker version of this mold and would love to have at least one "premium" iteration of this mold.
    From the CAD drawings we've seen the MPM Prime does look fantastic and I do hope to pick that up once it's released but I want one more ROTF Leader Prime mold to round out my movie collection before I dive into the new masterpiece line.

    Maybe I'll try and find a board member willing to part with their APS version.

    Try to hold out for one of the versions with pin striping.

    Totally understand. :)  I love ROTF prime too; it's one of my favourite figures, and I've long praised it as one of the best mainline molds ever released. And I was planning to get the MB release for similar reasons; I wanted a definitive version. But now I'm thinking a brand new MP mold a decade later might be more exciting than a "greatest hits" version of one I already have... especially when, as you say, the colours aren't quite as impressive as hoped. No pinstriping, and I also wanted a darker tint to the windows to hide the mechtech gears and look better in truck mode.

    So for now, I will hold out and see what the MPM looks like. But I'll always hold ROTF prime close to my heart. (Then his arm blades will probably flip out accidentally as they tend to do, and eviscerate me.)

    That is very cool, but if they were going to remold anything, the dino head should have been their priority.

    Paint keeps flying off of Soundwave, but I can't put him down. The absolute best HA mold and among the best ever movie molds.

    I love him, chips and all.

    By far the best response anyone has given to one of my posts! Thank you for this.


    Impressive pose there. Really kicking myself for canceling my pre-order on Soundwave. My KO version can't even stand on his legs let alone do a hand-stand. I've been monitoring BBTS and praying that he'll come back in stock. He's sold out everywhere.

    Same here; final product shins and hands appear to not at all match the box art:

    I find kinda sad, that this could be the last re-re-re-re-re-edition for the ROTF mold.

    I kinda-sorta-maybe want the Prime? But the rumblings of MPM Optimus also have me on the fence. Then again, ROTF Prime is still the gold standard for many as far as movie toys go, and one of the neatest Prime toys ever.

    Since its official release was the 25th, it should be at the usual places next week. So...

    Wow. Just noticed Optimus can store both his sword and shield on his back.

    This could actually be a better representation of him than the new voyager.
