    For instance, I own only 3A's DOTM Optimus Prime. He is the guardian of my bedroom, greeting visitors and keeping mice away.

    Finally arrived. This guy is built like a tank and looks even better in person. Like others have said the harsh angles of the chest is an odd design choice but in hand i think it looks awesome. All the diecast makes the figure feel extra premium. My only nitpick would be the stereotypical 3A ratchet joints that are really strong, loud and scary. Screenshot_20171104-115026.jpg

    Here he is with KBB MP21+. After the artprint of BB at tfcon I'll be looking forward to seeing Bumblebees prototype to go with this guy and hopefully a painted up version of their Megatron soon.

    Looking forward to him man!!!!

    My mate sent this pic and wow - he is indeed a big boy! I understand the non transforming aspect, but still really a good figure, I'm pretty sure - this will look better in hand

    Yeah. Once you get him all posed up he is great. Also, I do like my transformers to "transform" but can you imagine trying to transform something that size. It would be ridiculous!

    This guys looks amazing in person! Yes, his got lanky legs, big feet, doesn't transform but the sheer size, detail, LED lights, pose-ability, articulation and that head sculpt, wow! A definite center piece and takes alot of attention. Photos and videos don't do justice.

    I think he looks ugly.
    I don't care that he doesn't transform, but he just looks ugly. The proportions are weird, the chest is weird, the legs and arms are weird. Sure the paint apps and details are great, but I've seen better figures of this calibre.

    I won this on an auction for $160 shipped and I honestly never thought the seller would ship it but here it is. I’m still shocked. 2F19A4A7-0391-4B0A-B927-0F11F50184AF.jpeg

    Now that's a steal. Nice!!! Best deal I got on something 3A is when Think Geek marked the Ultra Magnus down to just below $230.
