    It's okay man. No one is mad about you buying what you like. Just don't boardcast KOs are superior and mock those buy officials.

    Here's everything you missed:

    - someone posted a partial drawing of an Optimus Prime design sketch that was part of an article which mentions the 35 year anniversary of the character is coming up

    - many people immediately took that as confirmation that V3 of MP Prime is happening

    - despite multiple pleas from multiple people asking that the thread title get "[Rumor]" added to it, no such thing happened because this section is already called News *And* Rumors

    - of course, as usual, very few people factored THAT part in when having their knee jerk reactions and just read/took it as confirmation

    - all the usual suspects swarmed in to proclaim what great news this is because, also as expected, MP-10 is now allegedly utter shit in desperate need of a re-do blah blah blah

    - other people swarmed in to defend MP-10 as being nowhere close to being as bad as the people who think that anything older than 2 months is "outdated"

    - debates ensue

    - amid said debates, other people start letting everyone know that they're selling their MP-10's in anticipation of this new figure... the same one that was not and still has not ever actually been confirmed

    - as per typical forum behavior here, people start typing out their laundry lists of everything this (still completely fucking theoretical) figure HAS TO include... which gets hilariously absurd. IE: sometimes his head/face were drawn different for a millisecond in the show, so now he has to have like 8 different heads... shit like that

    - someone at some point suggests that maybe he, again a completely theoretical figure NOT yet confirmed to even exist, might not and/or should include a trailer for some stupid reason

    - several people seemingly agree with that sentiment, then proceed to have a dozen pages worth of "IF it doesn't have a trailer" discussions that they don't realize make zero f'ing sense

    - also as usual, things get sidetracked for a while by people listing out other MP's that "desperately" need to be re-done... which they don't... but okay

    - add in the usual smattering of people posting screen grabs & comic panels for visual references of what this not-confirmed figure should / has to look like

    - also add in everyone who is happy with the poseability of MP Megs V2 and Sunstreaker as the now holy grails of what EVERY MP should be able to do... because apparently a figure that can't do fucking yoga is a useless brick by comparison and entitled expectations

    - repeat ad nauseum for 70+ pages

    So in a nutshell: Nothing. You missed absolutely nothing.

    First page in most rumour threads would be even better.

    Minus the bent fingers. My MP36 looks weird pointing at things using his crooked fingers.

    Do you mean the finger tips? They’re not terrible, but it would be nice if v3 Prime has index fingers more like Soundwave’s that can point fully straight.

    I guess it's the sacrifice for having fingertips that don't fly off.

    Yeah. Although that won’t be an issue if they use pins in the fingers like they did for MP-36.

    In terms of people talking about the lack of discussion, I think it's best to just... well, look at what we have to work with here. It's a single sketch on what looks to be a redesigned torso for Prime. That isn't really something that's going to carry discussions for a ridiculously long time.

    If you're in the U.S. you'll have to make arrangements to find it on the secondary market.

    The fact that his shoulders have a slight slope around them, a softness to their edges, makes me wonder if they'll even make up the side of the truck at all. There could be some interesting things going on with how that folds around

    This great coaster artwork is probably a pretty good indication of how this MP will look:

    In fact, it even has the rounded shoulder edges too :lol
