    They didn't showed the back of the figure, the shoulders seems to be a little bit hollow from the front. But i'm almost one step to cancel the ToyWorld version if they don't show a video or something new of the figure. ToyWorld always show two sample tests, one bot, one truck, but no transformation or articulation test.

    Looks nice, but not nicer than Toyworld's. Competition is always good though.

    Nice, very nice. I wonder how long will it be in production. I'd like to see how the back looks like.

    Those are non-issues when compared to the gap that seems to be in the bicep area; this is by far the best Knightverse Optimus, beating FL due to this figure's more accurate torso shaping. I also happen to be someone who hates the look of FL's forearms, so this figure is awarded points forhaving better arms.

    The truck windows actually transform to be the "wrong" truck model in robot mode, just like the movie! Amazing!

    Thinking about how perfect looking that cab is and the defined doors (with a hinge people!!) has me wondering if we might possibly get a holo driver figurine that goes in the truck cab?

    It might just be their design choices but it seems pointless to define the door that much if it doesn’t serve a function.

    I would personally love that, maybe only in a first run or premium edition type of deal with those extras.

    He looks so good. Can't wait to see the colours applied. I think the chest can be fixed. The head is not so accurate, hopefully they will test another one.
    I really like his size at 28-29cm. If they do the paint like TW Freedom leader, I think the price can easily be around $150. Personally I prefer a clean version, which can help to save $30-50.

    I think every 3P like TW should have 2 versions for each of their products. The battle damage is to show their ability and for serious collectors, and the new-looking one for normal customers. There will always be people divided in 2 groups like that, and some will collect both.

    The only cons I can notice from these pictures are -
    - Head sculpt is a bit soft; their mouthplate is akind to the three zero offering in that it's blunt, not sharp like the movie version.
    - Shoulders seem to have gaps in the back.

    Otherwise, seeing as the wheels still have no texture, this figure is still early in it's development; I'd say it's 40% finished. My only wish for this figure is that we get atleast two different versions -
    Clean Machine & Hardened Warrior
    Pristine and dirty respectivily.
