    Seeing as these Masterpieces seem to be done for the 10th Anniversary of the movie, I'd say there's good money that if the other Masterpiece isn't Jazz or Barricade, then it's Movie 1 Optimus.

    im gonna agree that BB looks human alliance sized rather than leader, which I think is a better scale botwise to leader size figures. Curious to see where this goes, but having the original 07 cast at that size/level of design and articulation would kind of be a dream

    No, it will also be available in China though hasbro Asia, hence why it was revealed in Hong Kong.

    If you are anywhere else, you will have to purchase it online from an importer like BBTS.

    It's going to be interesting to see what happens at NYTF next month.
    I'm curious if these two toys are Asia exclusives at the time.
    Shadow Spark Prime also has that Premier Edition sticker like the voyager so we'll see how the toyline takes shape.

    I'm digging Movie 1 bee in whatever size that is, however...

    If this is supposed to be Movie 1 bee - he's inaccurate. Yes, he's a Camaro, but that's a render of the stock mass release V8 Camaro. Or close to it.

    The Movie 1 Camaro was a prototype, and it's front end was different from both the V8 and V6 that eventually got released. Aside from subtle changes, the main difference is that it has the V6 front bumper cuts along with the "mail slot" seen on the V8s.

    Movie Bee - notice the recessed "chin" and the presence of the vent above the chevy symbol.

    Stock V6 - notice the recessed chin, and lack of slot

    Stock V8 - notice the beefy chin and presence of the slot

    Now, the MPM3 figure looks to be a render of the last one. However, Bumblebee never appeared in the films with that front end.

    In fact, they forgot the slot, so it's basically an exact reversal of the front end this toy should have. :/

    Will I buy it, yes. I'm just saying, if you're going for upscale, movie accuracy, that's important.

    AND - Yes, the stripes are wayy too small. On Movie 1 bee, the stripes were thicker and slightly tapered

    I am in love with that Bee. I hope we see a full masterpiece line of everyone from the first movie! Doubtful, but hopeful.

    Prime is meh, I never liked that mold and hope we see something new for the film- but those colors do look really good.

    The Shadow Spark Optimus looks good, but it is disappointing to see that it didn't use the improved Armor Knight version of the mold.

    Masterpiece Bumblebee looks great! This makes me excited to see what other characters may get this treatment.

    The prices given are probably HK$.

    Edit: Obviously not, I apologise for being 'so ignorant'.

    That Bumblebee looks sick (real good). That's definitely worthy of a choke slam from Shadow Prime.

    I noticed this too, the front is definitely off. It should resemble this:

    Although it could simply be due to engineering.

    Man that Shadow Spark Optimus is gorgeous. I'm not the biggest fan of the mold but with the way it looks I think I need it.

    Shadow Prime looks interesting but a definite pass for me.

    Bumblebee looks awesome and is a definite buy.

    Guys what if the unrevealed Movie Masterpiece is a leader class Blackout, since that was the first bot we saw in TF2007. How crazy would that be be???

    lol it's probably just Optimus but I'm okay with that too. Like I said earlier, if they just take the base ROTF leader mold and improve it with a slimmer backpack and more accurate proportions (similar to Wei Jiang OP but with TF2007 truck parts) that's all they'd need to do
