    I was already all-in when I saw the kneeling pose. I just want color scans and details on the accessories.

    I hope there are no LED's because that will only drive up the price and increase the figure's fragility. I'm sure a 3rd party company will take care of that for a lesser price anyway just like the MP Megs head set.

    Well, I lied, here's at least one more digibash :)  Cheebs already did a perfect G1 Toy version but I wanted to see it from all 4 of these angles/poses. I'm too lazy to replace the gun with the vintage version though ;)

    Nice job yet again, @chchchch! I feel like this is going to be how the + version of the figure will look.

    I'm sure they will have a way for the wheels to be on the outside of his legs in bot mode. Kinda like how they positioned Megatrons cannon to be able to have it on his back and at his hip in bot mode. Just makes sense to me to homage the G1 toy this way.

    This has almost made up for no scans this month. Amazing job @chchchch! Damn, that looks incredible. It's so strange seeing G1 toy Prime come to life in those poses, it's actually beyond awesome! Thanks for making my day :thumb

    Are there any toy shows before WonderFest 2019?

    The Transformers Generations 2019 book will be coming out in December, probably. Maybe Hero-X have asked for exclusive rights to the scoop on Hound and Optimus Prime.

    Yeah exactly, it's bad marketing ...escalate the hype for the product ...and then don't give updates or open pre-orders....o_O

    It's annoying to us MP fans who want this release, but maybe the slow build-up is good marketing to casual fans?

    When they're as good as @chchchch's then keep 'em coming :cool:

    @MorphinBrony , @e prime , @Sam , thank you for the kind words! It means a lot; I hope these help people visualize the possibilities of the toy. While I probably wouldn't buy such a + version as it violates my current one-figure-per-character limit, I am sorely tempted just to see V3+ vs MP36+. It would be like what my 4 year old brain thought the original toys looked like, ha.

    @Haydenite I agree, I think there will be some minor re-tooling of the mold for the + version. I would guess at least the original toy's grille in both robot and truck mode and I think exposed wheels in robot mode are very possible too.
    Are they serious?!? I was sure there would be something, at least a mention or even a repeat of the previous images.
    I would definitely rather have the news ;)
