Similar, but I don't know of any sideswipe with back kibble that compact. Those swords could just be kibble hanging off the shoulders.
Probably DOTM now that you mention that flap plus the swords look about right for the DOTM mold(HA swords were narrower) I just hope prime has a battle mask and chrome in the right areas. I liked the size.
I just checked mine, and the kibble on DOTM sideswipe is much wider than that, like as wide as his torso. Plus he has longer one piece swords, if those are swords, they're short and two piece.
I would think the new FE Prime is going to have a faceplate, and more paint instead of chrome, with "proper" chromed stuff - i.e., none of the silly chest and torso chrome in favor of chrome on things like the grille and gas tanks and so on. As for Stinger being what appears to be the DOTM Sideswipe / Darksteel mold...oh man, I would love to get that so bad. Multiple Stingers is never a bad thing, I'd pick up that and the one at retail anyhow.
No its not! But good try! I personally do not know this mold, And I MAKE IT my job to know of all Transformer molds.
Nope the back kibble is too wide for that. It genuinely seems to be a new mold stinger with minor arm kibble. That's just my opinion.
No it isn't. For a start, One-Step Stinger has wedge-shaped kibble behind the head, and closed fist, whilst the silhouette has rectangular kibble and open hands.
Looks dam close to me and when I was at toy fair in feb there was question over it getting a deluxe release as the event reps it hadn't been nailed down yet. So wait and see could just be a old rotf sideswipe repaint to go with the size of the first edition Optimus.
Holy shit it is! Look, The front end of the Car splits into 3 sections just like Bumblebee. His shoulders are pointy bescause their the Light/Sides of the car. Now like BumbleBee, The grill actually folds down into the chest. The arms are from the car doors and the feet are from the rear. Look at it, Just a retool for a new mold! The Pagini has a different body style, So the kibble os different.
BumbleBee's arms are made from the Car doors, Stinger is basically pulling a DOTM Sideswipe... No biggy.
Possibly, The BumbleBee we got was based off early concept art. Stinger however may have the long guns he had in the movie.
What the hell?!? That shit FE Optimus for $160? I expect that trailer to combine with his ass like DotM Ultimate Prime, and Stinger to be a brand new mold.
