    I think this is where the landing gear flips out. Looks similar to MP-11.

    I'm also curious about the side pieces just above the hips. I can't tell if they actually move between the jet and robot mode, but if they don't why are they two pieces and what's with the rivet next to them?

    Has anyone been able to translate all the Japanese writing in the new prototype figures?

    Oh, that's cool. So it looks like the inner pieces do stay put and the outer ones rotate everything forward.

    The new bits of information are that it's licensed by Boeing, includes after burner effect parts and the gerwalk alternative transformation is a nod to a scene in the cartoon.

    Other than that it's just the usual pointing out of articulation, show accuracy, real world vehicle details etc. the majority of the text is just introducing the Starscream character and talking about the real world F15.

    8AF6CDCB-C1D4-4318-A70C-5126148833DA.jpeg I’m getting so sick of the people saying this that the crotch looks like an adult diaper. You might as well make fun of the original gundam design for having the same design trait.

    No Convoy (G1 Prime) had partsforming fists. They were not fake by any means. They performed their function.

    If alternate faces are fair game, who wants to bet we'll be seeing the Starscream face that came with MP-44? Or even his face from when Galvatron burns him to a crisp?

    Calling it now, he's gonna have his coronation gear from the 1986 movie.

    The only way February's Wonderfest could be bigger is if they gives us an update on Armada Optimus.

    If he is, then we'll have to be ready for him to be a mammoth of a Masterpiece...

    Looks like he'll come with a translucent piece that clips onto his back and lets you use a display stand on him. (Seriously, Takara needs to sell that stand that came with MP-41 as its own piece.)

    An Armada Optimus update would be awesome. Especially if they are able to use the real grill for the chest

    I figure if I went Robotech it wouldnt ho over peoples head:D 
    And make it even more expensive?
    I would be surprised, Valk legs are pretty static, besides landing gear and pulling the feet out nothing much is going down there.

    I’d just like to take a minute to appreciate that the hipskirt hinges have become completely horizontal now, instead of the angled ones in the lineart imitating Megatron’s.
