    seems too good to be true. the other day at a local comic shop, they had a loose, very used human alliance leadfoot for the same price. they only want $30 for brand new, thats why im skeptical. id wait for the Movie Best 10th anniversary version. wont be but about $20 more and youre guaranteed a kick-ass figure.

    About Movie Edtion being at Toy Fair next year. I mean would you find it awkward if MPM Barricade was the only Movie toys revealed?

    I think NYCC would have been the time and place to do a lone reveal:
    NYCC 2013 - Age of Extinction Optimus Prime Toy - Transformers News - TFW2005

    While I am not opposed to the idea of a "one-figure" reveal to let it soak up the spotlight, I do believe NYTF isn't the ideal convention to be doing that. I'd like some small Asian launch event/reveal type thing that we got for both MPM-3 and MPM-4

    DOTM Ratchet is astoundingly good. He's a great size already, but I think a voyager upscaling would've been cool. Only downside is his back kibble thing that forms the back of his vehicle mode comes off easily. Otherwise this is the definitive Ratchet toy.

    And yes. RIP. :(

    Questions, would this be a correct scale?

    MPM Optimus Prime
    Leader Class Ironhide
    2007 Voyager Ratchet
    ROTF Human Alliance Jazz
    MPM Bumblebee

    HA Jazz is way too big. Deluxe Jazz is much closer. Leader Ironhide is also too big, though I don't know if him or '07 Voyager Ironhide would be better. I've misplaced mine so I can't compare.

    Awesome pictures. As per usual, though, TLK's storyline felt like something they just dug up from the cemetary for the occasion. It's very clear that they don't have an overall plot and just think of random stuff to make money. That whole staff thing... Oh, man...

    Ratchet and Ironhide are far too small in that picture.

    agreed. the story-board was all over the place. too many ideas, not enough backstory. the bonus dvd reveals there were several teams of writers. multiple stories and plots rolled into one. most significant of course being the king arthur/knight theme and wwII theme. the writers room was a joke. looked like the TF aisle at walgreens or cvs. hardly anything there but a bunch of crap, completely irrelevant to the movie-verse. an entire shelf of rescue-bots to inspire them, c'mon..

    Not really. Ironhide and Jazz would be too tall. Ideally, a new Jazz figure that’s shorter than MPM Bee would work

    I don't know about the rest of you but I had a blast watching The Last Knight, another fun time at the movie theater if you asked me. Huge fan.

    My current Last Knight display...

    (Not Pictured): Voyager Grimlock is sitting on my desk nearby, I have Voyager Scorn, Infernocus, & Leader Megs on the shelf above this one, and Steelbane & the Optimus 2-pack is on my Misc. shelf.

    I have Leader Dragonstorm coming due Tuesday, I have Movie the Best War Hammer Bee on preorder, and I still need to find the Walmart exclusive two packs of Legion Bee/Hot Rod, Megs/Berseker, & Optimus/Prime Soundwave repaint.

    I agree. At first, I thought it was the leader mold, but no. It's the original '07 voyager heavily modified.

    Woah, nice catch. I had actually thought it was the DoTM Voyager that was modified.
