    I am one of the more optimistic and upbeat people here when it comes to official offerings but the movie leader line has so far missed the mark quite heavily.

    Despite the challenge of making movie designs translate to toys, given the achievement with ROTF Leader Prime I refuse to believe that they can't do better than this.

    Looks like the First Edition figure to me, but supposedly it's not, so.... well, that pretty much sums up how I feel about it. That, and the half-assed half of a trailer. Apparently Optimus couldn't afford roofing.

    Multiple swords, guns and a jet-pack. So they can do it - it's too bad about the execution, though......

    I really want to like this, but Hasbro's oversimplification of this line is getting off-putting.

    The wings are so wide straight and flat that it just looks stupid. I know it's not real , but come on, can prime even maneuver with that on ?

    Better sculpting than the others, at least.

    Judging by the hands in the pics and the Bumblebee, isn't this figure quite a bit smaller than the leader figure?

    Looks fun but I'm surprised at the cost(overall even for the Lost Age repaints, prices seem higher this year in Japan). Pretty surprised this isn't being brought over here. Looks fun to interact with the One step changers.

    ^^no hints in the trailers shown so far, but if things go according to what happens with Lockdown, then it seems plausible and more likely that he'll need it in space......

    Back when G1 first hit stores I wanted Optimus Prime the most. Searched everywhere but couldn't find him. Now I am so freakin sick of this character. They're beating him into the ground worse than Batman, Darth Vader or Snake Eyes.

    Is this a voyager?
    Does not look leader class.
    The feet are at least done right, while the wrong color they are done right.

    i like it. even if it is really really ridiculous. and they should of used the leader, rather then the first edition. however, i'd totally pick it up!

    i am pretty sure it is a remolded first edition.

    I like the idea of it. I want to want it. But I don't - like the other TF4 toys, it has to cheat to the point where the robot mode looks terrible, and the hollow trailer also doesn't look good. Doesn't make the cut.

    Looking at the second scan with the transformation steps (just 4) and the way it unfolds, I believe this is a new crappier mold than FE, and that one wasn't really good for starter...
