    It is at least semi-transparent. ShowZ confirmed that all the parts are going to be transparent.

    @ShowZStore Maybe Showz can ask GT about what is delaying Hotspot so much...

    So I've seen a few people ask about batteries and didn't see a specific response other than that it comes with them, but this guy and OP-EX both take CR927 batteries. I assume the translucent reissue will as well.

    Didn't realize how big the figure is. Might cancel my pre-order.

    Here's some comparison pictures (Gen Toy's first release vs Siege Megatron and MMC Tyrantron) from a YouTube review I was just watching:

    The way more expensive non transforming Flame Toys version is a bit shorter (although still taller than those guys).

    Okay, I'm keeping my pre-order. Unless it's like fire-guts version I will cancel.

    I'm not a scale nut, and I'm okay with that Shockwave rebuilt the nut to be bigger, faster, stronger, nuttier, etc.

    Are the points on the railgun muzzle new? The stubby railgun was one of the things that turned me off with this figure.

    I didn’t really think it’d look bad. I’m more concerned about how it will hold up.

    Visually the translucency doesn't look bad at all... but I do worry about the fragility issue that sometimes goes along with transparent plastics.
