    Wait, is this Barricade one armed hand and one armed weapon again?

    i guess that decreases the chance for a MPM blackout majorly? The leader looked MPM level good from the picture i thought

    Bee's blaster is exactly as it is in the movies, Prime's swords are just like they were in DOTM, and his blaster is also very accurate. It's only missing the blue panels that covered his forearm, and those panels sometimes weren't even there.

    I fail to see the issue with their weapons.

    I'd imagine they'll see how the reaction to Leader Blackout goes, then use that to help them decide if there's demand for an MPM Blackout.

    Couldn't bring myself to pony up the dough for BB (were we talking about 74 BB, that'd be a different story) - but I'm totally down for this price range for this mold!

    Ooh... What do we have here? The pics were leaked while I was sick in bed? Nice...

    Several things I noticed:

    The chest is definitely real, save for the top and bottom pieces. If you look at the first pic, they highlighted the red pieces and where they end up on the robot mode.

    Slightly sad that the POLICE mark is cut off on the arms... But I guess that was unavoidable.

    If you notice, the 911s on the forearms are flipped (reading 116). This was most likely to collapse the arms further.

    Still, overall excellent preview. Everything else looks to be in the right place. Wheels on the shoulders and back of hands and whatnot. Really looking forward to this one.
