    Looks great and would be bought on sight! I wish they still included the poseable hands though.

    Is it just me or do the smokestacks sit too low on his back?

    Otherwise he looks great!

    Looks to be the same inner skeleton used on DMK-01. I'm guessing it will be around the same height as DMK-01 then..

    I will fix up my DMK-01 first that I just got before I decide to get DMK-03. I don't really like the sleek factor on the AOE robots. AOE Prime just doesn't look as detailed as the original trilogy Prime thus making DMK-01 the better looking one with all the tiny details etc...

    As for DMK-03, I really hope they fix the fingers issue that plagued the DMK-01...

    Just put my preorder in! I really like the knight look for Optimus and almost bought the leader class toy, but I knew deep down it wouldn't cut it. I like the sleek curves of the design. Optimus has typically been boxy and/or angular in most of his incarnations and the current movie design departing from that is very fresh for me. I find all the AOE designs really appealing.

    I used to do some gunpla, so this should be fun.

    Looks like they "fixed" it alright. By making the hands one solid piece and no finger joints. Goddamn it.

    Anyone seen pics of this from the Singapore show? I saw the sword on the edge of a pic of the Magnus prototype and it looked like it has now been painted (has red on it) and the pinstriping on the flames looks more noticeable.

    I'm excited, looks surprisingly larger than it should or Magnus is smaller than I though.

    On the display I can see "this sam(ple) -- paint" on the white piece in the corner. I think it's safe to assume that is not how the kit is out of the box.

    This is the best image I've seen. And to be honest it doesn't flatter me.
