    Looks pretty good actually. Really want one.

    Now call me an idiot and you'd be right but the more i see this mold, the more i want Star Convoy out of it. I don't know why. I bet Hasbro would call him Star Prime.

    Oh shit I thought this would be $150 and up. I want it. Hopefully it won\'t be sold out at SDCC.

    Maybe there's some cost savings having it entirely black and gold? Fewer plastic colors, less paint overall...

    Glad to finally see robot mode pics. I really like the look of this. I'm going to have so many versions of this mold already but I am very tempted to get it.

    If that's the case, then fair enough, but my spider senses tell me, against all facts, that both the regular and exclusive versions should be cheaper.

    Why is that?

    I like it.

    The gold pin stripes and the teal windows make it pop visually. I'd love to fit this figure with my arm filler set and feet upgrade set in the new Shapeways HP printer material.....

    Look a that poor Titan master, just look at him. All his friends are fighting decepticons and saving the world but Optimus is forcing him to do kick-flips. He can't even separate his legs!

    I almost can't believe this thing exists, and I cannot believe this isn't a Takara thing. I mean, I thought baffling cross promotions were their thing, but I guess not.

    Still, I'm not too interested. The color scheme is nice, but I still have zero interest in this mold.

    This makes me think of Black and Gold Megazord.

    Imagine if it turns into a surprise apex armor lol

    I'm digging those colors. If I can snag one for $50 I'll bite.
