    don't have time to read all 769 prior posts(!), but when was it revealed that the trailer can transform into a separate blackbird-ish jet?!?

    i just saw some photos of the jet mode for the first time (which i don't remember being part of the initial reveal - only that the trailer could break apart into several add-on pieces for Prime's bot mode), and at first i thought it might be a separate product to be sold separately, but then i looked at the combined mode again and realized that it's likely just an alt mode for the trailer!

    i was already kinda interested in this piece (wish it didn't have flames, but they're fairly minimal and somewhat understandable given that this piece is also a bayverse homage, and at least they're not on the g1-ish truck mode), but this new discovery (for me anyway) about the jet mode makes it even cooler...! =)

    I saw this artwork by Simon Wong and it reminded me of this figure. Seems to be a G1 and movie fusion.

    Just needs a crazy jetpack add on.

    I like it. Assuming we're still doing pseudo G1 modes, the stock and barrel are perfect fodder to make one.
    If PE goes for it I hope they openly work with Wong.

    Not even a fan of Movie stuff, but this is badass. I hope they do a nemesis or SG repaint.

    Very nice. I was afraid the jet didn't fully contain the trailer, but it's bigger than I kept thinking

    Well, obviously that's loosely based on Nizzi's "Age of Time" G1 design:

    man, I really dig the corebot of this set. I've never owned anything from perfect effect but if he ships with that glossy red paint that's shown in the video then I don't think I can resist.

    There's no reason why they can't do glossy red paint. They did black glossy paint for Nemesis Gorira.

    I think it's a bad sign when they've already pushed the date twice and still aren't giving an actual release date a mere month from their previous missed release window.

    I've been looking forward to this figure since October, but boy has it taken a long time to get to market, especially since the core Optimus is essentially the same figure as the PotP upgrade figure.

    Inexplicable delays and vague release dates are just par for the course in the third party world.
