Still, I shouldn't bitch. I bet he looks awesome once someone snaps an out-of-package photo..and even though the TF1 Leader Prime was awesome, this one is indeed more movie accurate!!
I think that's how his arms are attached to his torso on the CG model. They kind of extend out with these bits attached to the shoulder like muscles. By comparison, the first 2007 Leader class Prime had a block torso that the arms connected directly to, more like a traditional Transformer.

Looks nice, but I'll only get it if he combines with a leader class Jetfire. Otherwise, I'll just stick with my Premium Leader Prime.

...No upper leg kibble? Hooray! My only major beef against the Leader class toy has been solved!

Seriously how DOES Hasbro engineer these incredible toys?

Thats kick ass! Im glad they have the back area like they do! It looks a tad misstransformed though..... at least the arm area doesnt look fully secure. I wonder if the swords can be removed, lets hope... I kinda hope the leg wheels are executed better.

Very nice, looks like I'll definitely be buying a second Leader Prime after all. I think I can spot where all the truck bits are going in robot mode, he looks so much closer to his on-screen counterpart now, right proportions and panel locations, much leaner in general.

I approve wholeheartedly.

I shall remain, shining in sin

I hope so too..but blue LEDS run out much faster than standard red and orange ones..so we will see.

I'm interested in seeing this Mech Alive function..there's alot of small parts on this bot that makes me wonder if they might all go automatically (otherwise it would be a terribly hard TF to transform!!)..which would be AWESOME!

Looks absolutely beautiful. More detailed, more accurate, and the toy arms confirm the more "armored/solid" look discussed by Bob Orci. Yay fan input!
