    It seems fine.

    Hope they tighten up that shin gap by release.

    I guess if Hasbro releases their version, it would come with Cullen's voice.

    I'm actually hoping for a Hasbro release sans trailer and with a Cullen chip. I may actually skip the TT release in the hope of that happening.

    Eh, voice chip will probably be in the trailer. I’ll just wait for someone to make an upgrade with an English add on like they did with Megatron.

    Even better! That would bring the price down of a hypothetical Hasbro version even more. Although wouldn't that mean his trailer was talking not him? I guess technically Megatron has a talking cannon.

    I'm still not sure how I feel about this mold. Usually grey prototypes look super impressive over the final retail product. I need to see color pics first.

    Let’s not start crying about price and cost savings etc lol.. this comes out in 2019. If we saved like $1 /£1 a day we’d likely have the majority of the money.
    I anticipate him to cost around $230-50 similar to what MP10 was at one point.

    Pretty dope that it has voice clips, we all guessed they would be Japanese so it will be interesting indeed if the Hasbro version does use Cullen.
    More importantly will Hasbro use the same box designs as Takara Tomy, I guess we will find out after the Prowl + roll out.
    Either way I’ll probably stick with the TT version personally.

    On a side note who the hell is in charge of TT’s marketing.. the 35th event and the main figure it celebrates was showcased the least lol! I spotted Yuki on the panel .. anyone know what was spoken about and said in regard of the line?
    Being Japan with their high technology you’d think we’d have magic phone camera pics that are like DSLR’s haha

    Looking forward to getting this Prime to face off with my MP36

    The more I look at this the more amazing it looks. Initially I thought the legs looked a bit long but after the picture corrections it looks like it's going to be MP-36 all over again, wow! It looks magnificent. Just look at how kibble free those legs are, the gigantic crotch(get your mind outta the gutter, haha), the non folding rifle, wow, wow, wow! So far the only thing I don't like about are the big gaps between the feet and the lower part of the shin but I guess for all those extreme poses he'll more than likely be capable of something's gotta give!

    That said he looks phenomenal! 2019 can't come soon enough!

    I don't know if I'd count on a Hasbro release now that TRU is gone.

    I'm not completely sold. His feet are... small and it bothers me.

    You all know what they say about guys with big feet?

    Modfans will release a new version of whatever accessory contains the sound with English clips just like they did with Megatron and how they are doing with Soundwave right now. Probably have an additional light up head too.
