    Looks like First Edition Optimus to me. Now with an even BIGGER backpack!

    ...How is it going to balance with that...?

    Looks to me it has the gunblade that Cade is carrying around if you look on the left wing.

    Yeah, that would explain why even with a trailer it's cheaper than the Advanced series leader and is part of the regular LA line.

    If this is a better mold of Prime's new look, I'll consider getting it. Paintjob looks stunning, judging from the blurry pic.
    Does look like there's still a lot of panel stuff in between his legs, and something that's a 'problem' with most trailers: very flat/basic looking panels compared to the movie designs.


    But really, this looks promising! :thumb  Let's hope it's not secretly the current Leader Prime ;)

    Yeah, it does to me too. I think I have every powered-up version of Optimus since G1 (except "Ultimate" from DOTM), so I'm seriously thinking of getting this, especially at that price.

    Also, RK's description on Facebook:

    This Optimus Prime figure is Japan Takara Exclusive Design, non Hasbro release.

    Trailer can carry vehicle, and this set include many weapons.


    "Trailer can carry vehicle..." Sounds leader class to me. If not, Cyberverse? :p

    I would guess at large voyager for the prime figure.
    I like it, looks like it has rubbish legs but I can overlook that for the first wing pack that actually transforms into something more then a pile of parts on primes trailer hitch section.

    Cade's gunblade

    YEP!

    One on each wing, above the shoulders! What could this mean?

    That's clearly not the same mold as the Leader. Just look at those legs.

    Nice, AoE Jetwing Optimus. Wasn't expecting this version to show up so soon. I guess this means Prime does retain his flight capability somehow and will fly at some point in TF4.

    Well, I guess it's now a thing Optimus has to fly and it'll be slammed into the toyline regardless of whether it's in the movie (granted, it could be, but I don't see it). Looks like a nice toy, but I'm not sure I'll go for it. I want to see which mold it is, and I would much prefer to see less blurry pics. My thought is definitely that it's the FE mold based on the price and listing as LA-01 though.

    While I like this toy, I think it may be just a Takara movie Line toy. I'm just tiered of the jet pack power up OP in the movies. We dont need it 3 movies in a row.
