    Please close if old, but Walruslaw just uploaded a short (stop-motion!) toy commercial for TakaraTomy's TAV21 Optimus Prime. AKA the large electronic Adventure/RID2015 one. Showing off the transformation and some of the features. Seems like it can deploy Decepticon Hunters from the forearms into the palms which the weapons then plug into, which is super neat!

    I don't believe we've seen this before ... Either way, it's pretty cool :thumb 

    This makes me tempted to throw a preorder down.

    I have a feeling this will be the next tf:p rime 1st edition voyager Prime fiasco. I'd place a pre order now while they still have any. I know bbts sold out the other day got more in sold out of those but 2 last I checked

    Yes. Same very one. Looks awesome!

    I wanted to see how the other deluxes interacted with truck mode... :( 

    The only gimmick I saw in the vid was that his axe can split into weapons for deluxes. Yawn.

    That's going to look so badass as Nemesis Prime with a big Red Sword.

    Eh, wanted to get it initially, but looks to be quite oversized.. and gimmicky. I'd much prefer a voyager version, which I hope Takaratomy will make, eventually. :lol

    So the question is, do l preorder this one, or wait for the eventual Nemesis repaint, but with the likelihood of not having all of the same weapons, just the sword only.

    So... totally Japan exclusive, or will this show up in some sort of Hasbro release?

    ... I don't need the electronics, if that helps. :)

    I haven't bought a Leader Prime since the ROTF one, but something about this reminds me of Animated, so - preordered. Hopefully something can be done about the hollow legs.

    I guess a Nemesis version will be on the way eventually.

    At the moment it's looking like a Japan-only TF.

    Why are blue LEDs so hard to come by? Also, it's pretty sad in the paint apps.

    I was looking at the recent $50 oversized bumblebee from Hasbro and thinking the same thing on that one too. Just out of touch with making the toy to actually match what you're selling in the cartoons.
