oh my, you've helped me realize something. They've made his facemask feature built in so they could dedicate the rest of his trailer space to storing all the faces of his enemies! /s

But yeah, probably the DOTM remold in a matter of years. That is unless a 3rd party more than likely steps in first

 

Some should use photoshop to change some bits of this pic to complete more the transformation scheme we know so far., like:
-Making the shoulders being flipped out
-Connect the abdomen parts with the grey clips under the windows
-Retract the smokestacks
@Actar can you do it plz

 

It would be nice to get the whole movie one cast by 2019 tho with Hasbro I doubt it.

 

I just want a damn starscream and megatron that are both in scale.

 

THANK YOU! lol The more ppl that want it the more TakaraTomy will build it in the end.  

It would be simply amazing to have the likeness we get from Optimus Prime for Megatron v.1!

 

Boi, MPM is

Prepare for a dead meme

MAGIC!!!

 

No, THAT'S Optimus Prime.

Fantastic work, Actar.

 

Thx.
I don't know why the people who had the toy haven't connected the ab parts with the grey clips under the windows, even the official pics and the first pic we got they're connected.

 

This figure's reveal was like The Last Jedi trailer, they showed us something but we still don't know shit. And it's driving me crazy!

 

His transformation would have to be worse than Apollyon and Wardog put together to dissuade me from getting him. Haven't been this excited for a figure in a long time.

And I fully expect the transformation to be outstanding. If there's one thing you can say about the MP line, it's that the designers always bring their A-game for the transformation. One of my favourite things about each MP release is seeing what new tricks they've come up with.  

 

This and Dinobot are my LONG awaited characters for the MP line.  

 

I mean if they can pull off optimus to such perfection, I'm pretty sure barricade will look amazing too. Also on a side note, I would really want to see barricade at the Tokyo toy show but if they don't have him there, then at least we should get some pics of him properly transformed, cause as many have said before it'll be what makes or breaks the figure

 

Sadly, that's probably how its gonna be considering that dinobot will be the highlight of the event and their take on optimus there will be a good/bad thing.

• Good: it'll be properly transformed with the headlights ACTUALLY sitting on his stomach rather than sticking out and screen accurate paint apps (hopefully with better eyes).
• Bad: total cockblock to us seeing barricade.

 

SHIT!
I noticed this also:

In the official pic, the window's panel is lower than the head and neck instead of having it on the cheeks like the 2nd pic: And in the official pic, that window is the one that is connected to the ab part


So yeah, that pic you made is closer, i'm sure (at least for me) that the windows don't get that close, but they get some.

I also noticed how the test-shot from the 2nd pic has nothing of metallic paint as the other.

So, the window panels INDEED sit lower in the chest to be connected with the ab parts.

 

July 2017 release as confirmed by my local hobby shop in Asia.
