    So, i just wonder what is the difference between their re-master line and their cross dimension line. And why is this one not under same line with thunder manus, and striker manus?

    Cross dimensions is a line up of all their reimagined designs. Everything is stylised, allowing maketoys free reign on what they want the characters to look like.

    Re-mastered is more like masterpiece. Faithful to the original design, with maybe a few liberties taken.

    In that case, wouldn't it be better if maketoys just make this one under the cross dimension? I mean hasbro just make official galaxy optimus in siege line right? Now we need the fully stylized one.

    That Galaxy Optimus is nowhere near masterpiece quality, and Maketoy's version is more faithful to the source material than Hasbro's.

    If you look at their Galaxy Screamer, their Galaxy Force Starscream, you’ll understand why this is in the Re:Master line.

    Hasbro's was announced after this one was, and theirs is.. subpar, to say the least.. This one is a more faithful and high end adaptation

    I really hope MT is still going to make this figure. However I'll only buy it if they use better plastics than their Galaxy Meteor.

    That Galaxy Optimus is an ok figure but it's nowhere near the quality of the 2005 Hasbro Cybertron line either. They shouldn't even bother remaking old figures if they're going to be worse.

    They still are last I heard. I hope their silence is because they're refining their design or getting the prototypes ready

    That all being said, and while this thread is still active, what kinda hopes do we have for the figure and it's Megs counterpart? I, for one, would love a diecast Matrix and Keys. Those items would just feel a little more important that way. I could also just be being stupid.

    I'm hoping for some wicked articulation improvements, like what they pulled in Galaxy Meteor.

    Oh, I'm sure that's all but mandatory. If Megatron has an ab crunch with his torso transformation, then I'll doubt ANY limitation someone tries to bs

    I'm sorry to bump this, guys, but do we know if MakeToys' email is still in operation during all this? I sent one asking about this and their Megatron because HOLY FUCK it's been forever, but I don't want to keep checking for a reply if the email isnt gonna get read by anyone.
