Do you guys think this will be released stateside? Not too inclined to dish out 2XX+ for this but would be interested if they so release it here...

 

Yep, I remember seeing it at Botcon '97. Somewhere I think I even have a picture of it.

 

I want the MP-10 Optimus, but only if the price goes down. He's not as big as Masterpiece megs or prime, even with a trailer, its not worth the $250 that ive been seeing for pre orders imo. also, he looks not so proportioned, like his arms are too long or something. and his gun is wayyyy to small. i also hope he has some kind of blu light piping in his eyes. becuase so far in the pics ive seen, he always looks lifeless. OP is my favorite character in the series, and this thing is really cool, but i would never pay any more than $180 for him. so i'll wait.

 

I'll take a 1986 animated movie colored Fortress Maximus any day. Yes please.

 

Wow what nice treats to see these concepts arts.

 

I like the the beastwars neo unicron better than the armada one as long as I'm looking at it from the front. It looks so much meaner & more detailed, especially the head. Not impressed with the planet backpack tho. This is the first time I've seen pictures of it from the side & back. The G1 unicron is pretty blah. He's a big fatty. I wanna paint him red, throw a Christmas hat on him & call him the Santa robot from futurama.

 

Man, that Wheelie prototype is better than the final.

 

The New Optimus is a good looking figure but just far to expensive.

I wonder if anyone would buy a Gold Fortress Maximus (Autobot City Colours) or indeed a Gold Metroplex ? if it's possible to make one that does not fall to pieces that is.

 

MP-10 looks so small next to MP-01  

 

I'm kinda sad now that we didn't get an AM Hot Rod or Arcee.

 

For some reason I love the idea of a fully-wooden prototype TF. Even if its joints were loose (because of a lack of ratchets/friction or the weight of the wood itself) I wouldn't mind owning a fully-transformable (probalby minus the Spike Headmaster) Fire Hazard Maximus  

 

Holy WOW!!! After seeing this, It would seem that he is my Favorite G1 character designer. I loved the Pretenders, Transformers Victory and various others. The Otimus Primal designs are awesome as well.

 

seen those a LONG time ago :/

 

The flaps that fold from behind and cover the wheels are stupid. I would have rather had the wheels fold behind or push in. but that "hey we'll just cover them up" idea is dumb. It's like Masterpiece Starscreams skirt. Other than that it's cool. I probably wouldn't even mess with the flaps.

 

please takara hasbro release them as part of the g1 encore line

 

Any one else getting the Cybertron Primus feel from that Unicron?

 

Bah humbug to the new MP optimus. The figure looks great but not a big enough improvement over the first one to be worth another 200 somethin bucks. Besides, now they're going to repaint or rerelease this mold 4 out of the next 6 masterpiece figures. & it's not like there's a shortage of optimus prime figures out there. I would have much preferred a different character.

 

Ahhh yeas, anime style Boat Feet Prime

 

that Prime is doing everything I could want out of a prime toy visually. Do wish this were voyager sized though, but I want this.

I'm also thinking the huffer could be the US add in, since we aren't likely getting the trailer.

 

Well duh, didn't you read he's gonna be used for Ultra Magnus... Lol
