    Whoa. No diecast? Where did you see that? Did they omit dicast from lt01?

    Are his feet diecast? I didn't get that impression

    For clarification, I meant that it doesn't look like his feet will have die-cast, not that the entire figure would be devoid of it

    Official has dicast in the feet, shins and ab area. Not a lot. Just used for balance. I'd be surpised if it wasn't also incorporated into lt02.

    Looks like it will have the same diecast parks.

    Yeah, when I said diecast, I was thinking overkill on the truck grill was much needed to combat the paint scrape

    Oooh sadly no, but a agree that would be awesome. Probably would look a little out of place on the truck though.

    I wonder if LT will also make a KO of the new MPM Optimus.

    Yea because 3p companies haven't been making their own interpretations of TF characters at all right? I personally don't care if 3ps started making more transforming robots with zero ties to TF. If it looks cool I'll buy it, I have zero loyalty to corporations.

    Edit: that may have came across as hostile. Im sure a lot of people would suffer if hastak went out, just saying I would be indifferent about it personally.

    That's more of preference.

    ...... I mean all I can speak for is myself so I thought that was obvious in the original statement. That's why I said I would be indifferent and it wouldn't bother me.

    I got my legendary toys wasp (mpm bumblebee) in today and I have to say the upgrades they did to this figure are fantastic. Even the mold changes to make him peg into vehicle mode are great. If they do this good of job on mpm Optimus which I’ve preordered as well I will be pleased.

    Oh I forgot I was replying to you and that you (some random nobody) has any influence on what I am aloud to say! My bad dude! Ignored.

    I have wasp on the way and I have heard nothing but great things! I too hope they solved all the tab issues on prime because my copy (part of the 71 run) is an absolute nightmare in alt mode.

    Yeah I don’t have a way to post pics right know but mainly in the feet and ankles. The parts that stick out of the toes peg in better in the back of the car cause they molded the back differently so it tabs in better. There are also pieces that look like “vents” on the inside of the ankles that slot into each other better in vehicle mode too. On my mpm bee they don’t tab in at all.

    He is great. I do wish they kept the blue tinted headlights though. I love the gunmetal colour they used on him. Looks awesome.
