    Okay, so the vehicle front fenders and headlights end up upside down and backwards under his armpits, the headlights being hidden under his door wings. And....that's all I can figure out. I have no idea where the rest of the car goes.

    This could be the biggest indicator yet that TC and UT are linked :p 

    Hopefully the final figure will have all of the yellow painted. Vehicle does look a bit rough still with the gaps between panels but again hopefully that's ironed out come release. Everything else though... Wow.

    Eh, it's a little different. On this figure, the entire hand just sits on top which is a little awkward looking while in the film, the fingers rest in between the grooves on the canon. It may have been better to create a canon with the fingers molded in.

    Optimus Prime and Bumblebe have to be the most fussed over figures/toys ever.  And I mean this in a good way.  Look at how many times these characters have been remade, retooled, re-engineered, over and over and over and over again until they hit perfection.  I can\'t help but think of 2007 movie leader Optimus Prime and how bad it was, then all the figures of him made in every scale, until we finally got the perfect Black apple Optimus Prime.  Same can be said for Bumblebee.

    I HATE that this is linked to UT, because he’s a pair of articulated hands away from perfect. Those hands need to be articulated like TE’s and zeta’s. A character with no real face needs that expressiveness. It pisses me off how such a simple thing wasn’t fixed on near perfection.

    Not sure that UT has anything to do with the locked fingers. They should at least separate the index finger so he can point. Hopefully Capcomkai will sell fully poseable hands (maybe even heads with the Autobot symbol on them) down the line.

    Are... are those heels partially formed from his hood? I think that's the hood hiding in the outer side of his heels. This thing looks WILD.

    The two hinges on the roof of his vehicle mode are atrocious, but I'm willing to overlook that because the car mode is otherwise solid and the robot mode is the single best transforming version of this design that we have seen, period.

    You're right! Those are the halves of the hood, sideways, forming the outer curve of his foot.

    Horribly limited hands are a staple of UT. Everyone keeps mentioning these guys as an offshoot of UT and the hands show just that.
    There was a whole explanation you may have missed right after those words ;)

    His but becomes the muddle of his roof. The left leg is the right side of the hood, and vis versa.

    Considering how much wizardry was used on this guy, I wouldn't be surprised at all if these guys were indeed related to UT.

    It's a very loose link, if it's there at all.
