    Animated Omega Supreme would be Takara's biggest coup since Brave Maximus. I don't think it's in the cards but I'd LOVE to be wrong!

    I cannot wait for the two-pack of Optimus and Rodimus! An easily affordable Crystal set of these two somewhat lessens the pain of never obtaining Crystal Convoy.

    Somewhat.....


    Hasbro stated that both Rodimus and Ironhide will be Toysrus exclusives, for America at least. I'm not certain if they're including Canada in that statement though.

    pre-ordered WB Prime and Rodimus at BBTS just seconds ago.
    my TFA shopping is officially....
    DONE!!!!

    hate that i missed out on the pre-order for Blackout, b/c that would have put all my TFAs going into PoL until they all arrived. sigh.

    just gotta play the waiting game.

    Rodimus looks spiffy.

    And is it just me, or is that Voyager Ani. Optimus with the jetpack extras? I thought the armor was sold as equiped to a retooled Battle Begins Deluxe Prime and could be transfered to a Voyager Prime?

    The Hasbro version of Wingblade Optimus Prime was scheduled to come with the Battle Begins Deluxe Prime, repainted into a non-battle-damage paint job. The armor was also supposed to be compatible with either the deluxe, or voyager Optimus figures. It would seem Takara has decided on using the Voyager figure. I don't think the deluxe Prime was going to be remolded for use with the armor, but, I'm not completely certain.

    I'll wait and see if Hasbro still makes Wingblade Prime. I really wanted a non-battle-damage version of the deluxe Prime.

    Like you I seriously doubt Takara will release an Amimated Omega Supreme as the mold doesn't exist, unlike Brave Max back in the Car Robot's day. I wouldn't call Brave Max a coup, but rather bad luck on Hasbro's part because of the drop safety test Brave Max failed to passs.

    Yes that is Voyager Animated Prime. Hasbro plan was to release the armor with the deluxe mold, to keep the cost at the voyager price point. however the armor was designed to fit either size class, as I think most people would prefer to display it on the voyager mold.

    ooooOOO, tht wingblade prime looks VERY nice :) , though its the complete opposite for the new BB prime imo, looks like a knock off. HA jazz and Rodimus are still near the top of my want list (which is unfortunatly ever growing :/) The insecticon doesnt seem to do much for me, though the wings look cool :)

    I've been looking forward to more pictures of Battle Blades Optimus Prime, because I have two scales of display for my movie tfs. I keep voyager and deluxe together, and display the leader class figures with the human alliance line.

    However, these pictures are not very flattering. His legs look way too skinny, while his upper toros looks waayy too thick. I guess I'll have to wait for more information and pictures about this figure to make my decision. Either way though, it is a great improvement over the TFTM voyager mold.

    HA Jazz looks awesome, I cannot wait to pick him up.

    Battle Blade Prime is looking a lot less interesting.

    Still, i look forward to it being repainted 15 times anyway.
