    I'd be significantly more interested in an IDWified Megatron than I was in Hegemon.

    This. Primes just seem like the last thing 3P groups should be doing.

    Bah to that. Classics Prime's too small, Faith Leader's too big, Hegemon-sized IDW Prime would be perfect!

    Wish they'd quite messin' and show us some test shots already :(

    I never liked the classics Prime, his back and arms kept me from pulling the trigger. I can't find Faith Leader for a decent price anywhere. So needless to say I really want this.

    I sold my henkei prime, which I never liked too much for the reasons you pointed out, when Igear oppened orders for Simplified Faith Leader, however now I am glad about it and the cancellation of such release, Faith Leader has ugly truck mode on top of it all... well only truck mode I really like for Optimus is MP10, and still it is too big for my taste :p

    If this thing looks good, being based off the IDW design, and is taller than Classics Optimus but still somewhat shorter than Mega - er I mean Hegemon - I maaaaaaaaaaaay pull the trigger. But this thing is gone have to be immaculate to replace Henkei Optimus.

    Here's some wishful thinking....For me, Classics Opti would have been enough if Classics Optimus were to have the bumper and grill parts intergrate into the transformation within the boday rather than a simple rotating it to the back to hide. It would probably solve it's height issue (body would be bigger and taller) and get rid of the side panels from the arms..though I still welcome any new figures and revisions from any 3rd party.

    I'm chomping at the bit about info as well. Seeing how this figure turns out will be the deciding factor on my getting Hegemon.

    I'm guessing this guy is still pretty far away from preorders and whatnot. Toyworld still has three figures that they've showed more complete designs for. (Throttlebots Grind Rod and Aurora + Headmaster Hardhead)
    Personally I'm much more excited about those three than I am about another Optimus.

    I'm subscribing to this thread. I want an Optimus to go with Hegemon.

    Come on Toyworld!

    If the rumors are true though, Hasbro might come out with their own version of IDW's Optimus Prime, which is probably why we haven't heard updates regarding this figure in a while.

    I wonder will he be in scale with Hegemon, which is arguably the most G1 accurate version of Megs.

    I hope Toyworld does not back down on their Optimus because hasbro is doing one too. I am sure the hasbro version will be a hollowed out piece of shit

    Well their time wasting has cost my interest in this. I'm switching to MPs only, so they've lost a sale. Would've bought it last month no problem too.
