Can't wait for the finalized pictures.

 

Well we know:
Masterforce style chest
Masterforce style guns
Ankle tilts
Closed forearms
$76+ price tag

What we don't know
Wrist joints

What we think;
Masterforce style paint job

I find grouping helps me decide, hope this helps you 

 

Yup, me too.  

 

We are all anxious for better pics, but we probably won't see them till after SDCC. My guess is Hasboro is making them hold some things back. We will probably see Their version of GoD Bomber at SDCC, then Takara will have full pics of their version.

 

Argh...the recent scans only reveal a smaller photo of what we already know.

Damn.

I WANT OFFICIAL PICS NAOW!

 

And in color I might add!

 

Colour can wait. I think we all know Optimus' colours at this point. I want to see the modes up close, and I especially want to see how the cab works.

 

I hope Takara gives us a wrist swivel too.

 

Me too. I will probably buy the Hasbro version tomorrow, if I find it in stores. But I would still like to see better pictures of the Takara version. I would like the Hasbro torso and truck mode and everything else from the Takara version, but also the Hasbro feet. That would be my perfect Powermaster Prime.

Official pre-order start date is 15 July 2016.

LG35 - Super Ginrai (Nov 2016. 8,500 yen)

 

PROTOTYPE! IMAGES! NOW!

None of this blacked-out bull.

 

Nice, I knew he would go up in July. Price isn't too bad as well, only 500¥ more than Blaster.

Only about one more week of waiting*, you can do it  

*(If they actually have a painted prototype ready when the pre-orders start that is)

 

Well, a week is better than nothing. I hope the cab does end up better than the Hasbro one. Its the main thing that puts me off it.

 

Come on pre-order links!

 

He's probably going to be awesome! I'm really hoping for some vac metal on his powermaster piece!

 

$94.99 at bbts

LG35 - Super Ginrai - Transformers Transformers Legends Imports

 

Wtf i know he was going to be pricey but he is 20 bucks more than blaster it is ridiculous i was hoping for a 80 price range but 95

 

Somehow Super Ginrai seems to keep the CW PM Optimus cab instead of a possible transforming cab into Ginrai that you can then attach to the trailer to make into Super Ginrai. Unless they intend to surprise us it seems that we may have to wait for a 3rd party company to make a transforming cab for Ginrai/PM Optimus as well as one for CW Ultra Magnus.

 

Just a straight repaint would have cost double, add in retool and bam!

 

A 3P needs to make s new "powermaster" attachment and loose the fanny pack. New g1 styled black rifles too. Better head too.
