    I'll weigh in, here, so there's no confusion: the Beelzeboss designs aren't identical to mine, so I'm categorically not going to accuse them of stealing my work. Hauntingly similar enough to make me raise an eyebrow? Yes. Stolen? No.

    Just wanted to make my position clear, since I got mentioned earlier in the thread.

    Looks really nice. If it's able to do this without partsforming that'll be cool. It looks like it'll help make him look good next to Leader Megatron

    I wonder if they're also going to do upgrade parts for the Battle Core version to make into Thunderclash and/or Nova Prime and would they also make a MW Optimus Prime version should they decide to do Thunderclash first then MW Optimus?

    You are quite a gentleman!

    I'm interested in this, but I JUST got my Toyworld Orion, and he is very IDW Prime. I feel like if I was going to make CW Prime nearly as good, at the least it would take Nonnef's new ratchets and this kit--which, as has been mentioned, may be a set of partsforming stick-ons--and now I'm looking at a $25 to $30 figure with $5 of ratchets and... I'm going to guess, at least $40 of parts here. This might come out to be cheaper... but still no ankle-tilts! Still, if the gun on this kit is black I might have to pick it up just to replace my Comic Orion's Lavender Laser. :p

    This looks interesting. I prefer johnbonhamatron's add on parts, especially the alternate feet and thigh extensions.

    The only bit of Beelzebossè kit I really like is the alternate head sculpt. It would be great if the head sculpt is available separately.

    I'm trying to figure this kit out from the pictures provided. The knee guards will have to be partsformed, but the rest of it looks integrated to me. Maybe the ab section involves partsforming?

    I desperately wish the head was available separately. I don't want all the other extra parts, but I'd definitely be all over a new noggin.

    Looks nice, but i'm skipping it due to the partsforming. I have no doubt we'll be seeing a full-on Leader Prime from Hasbro sometime in the future anyway.

    The new robot mode chest. There is no way the arms could close up around it for truck mode, so it would have to be removed.

    Not a biggie by any stretch.

    It does look like they took their inspiration from John Bonamtron.

    Beelzeboss keep announcing stuff, then not releasing it-will this actually make it out?

    I know Jon Bonhamatron is taking the high road, but WTF? These are pretty blatant rip offs. And the fact that this is the second time they've ripped that guy's designs off shows they're watching him. Most likely just to copy.
    Nice kit douchebags, too bad it wasn't your design.
    If I decide to get this kit I'll make sure my money goes to the real designer. Not the rip off artists.

    hmmmm, well the from what i can see just looking at it, i would say the chest piece lifts up, hinges around to the back and collapses to form the back top of the cab. then the shoulder pieces hing up and around the front and the smoke stacks wrap over the top of the original stacks over where the chest connects.
