    More or less. Also, Optimus is the big bot munkkey so more demand for the main hero (with the exception to Dinobot, in my popular BW most wanted).

    Pretty sure it’s the second.
    TT reissued him once with improved shoulders. This new reissue is by Hasbro Asia for the non-Japan Asian market.

    Ah yeah, I meant to say third release.

    Wonder if it's gonna be the same as TT's reissue.

    Maybe they have a lot of reissues planned to coincide with the movie. Primal, Dinobot, and Optimus could all use reissues snd so far TT has avoided doing them.

    Shoulder pads can be closed completely.

    Is there a way to tell for Cheetor's reissue? Read some old posts saying his new box doesn't have the Long Life logo.

    Are there any good comparison pics of the original and the reissue? I’ve heard this claim before, but I’ve never seen a copy of MP32 with good shoulders in beast mode.

    Those shoulder pads are the one flaw of an otherwise perfect figure.

    I just received the reissue from bababobo.

    It seems really dark, pics online for the original mp primal seem to have greyish fur and a blueish chest, mine is basically black. Seems to be the same as the one shown on the KO video review from BensKOllectables on YouTube.

    I wonder if he sent me the KO by mistake.

    Could someone post their reissue pic online when they receive it? I'm getting worried.

    In China there are already images in the hands of the MP-32, the bad thing is that there are reports of failures, although they are all the same failures that they had in the past relaunches, but there is a new one:

    The waist does not sound like a gear and in other reports that part ends up loose, as happened with the MP-43 Megatron, be careful with that.

    If the hand cannons aren't limp it's most likely not a KO.

    Does this new reissue have the fixed arms?

    The second reissue did, no reason why this shouldn't
