Movie pose using Legacy Armada Optimus Prime.

 

Huh. That mid-transformation art is kinda weird. Doesn't really represent how the toy works at all. Where did those gold "toes" attached to his super-mode armpits come from? And the core robot shoulders and waist are connected in ways that are physically impossible. Also sort of implies that the entire trailer is somehow sprouting out of the back of his legs.

 

Lol I didn't notice that artwork as well. That guy must be high when he drew that.

 

my god, june 13th cannot come soon enough. this masterpiece has been a long time coming

 

That side profile makes the headsculpt really shine.

 

Welp worth asking again.

 

Forgive my picture quality, the only camera I have is a Vita

 

Thank you very much!!

Gives me a better idea of how big and playable he’ll be.  

 

Received mine from bbts like 2 weeks ago. He was missing the top of his cab/super mode chest plate. They couldn't get me a new one or piece, which was expected, but im still pretty irritated. Got my refund BUT I WANT MY GODDAMN PRIME and these shitsbare selling out all over. I knew they would. Why I pre-ordered right away originally. Come on bigger, 3rd party version!!

 

Some blast effects fun with the trailer's base mode:

 

Special sleeve for the box on the TakaraTomy version.

Side of the box is still the ugly ass black sticker of Transformers Legacy aesthetic that the Takara boxes have

Oh thank God I don't actually need this

 

Now, will they go the extra step and make the super mode eyes red so that it matches the sleeve art and the anime/og toy?

 

I hope they make Jetfire and Overload

 

No question they will. Definitely Jetfire.

 

I think they'll definitely do Jetfire, Overload is a maybe.

The other question is how long do we think it will be before they get revealed... Because if Tidal Wave is a Commander it could be like March until they're shown.

 

It all depends on when they do them. Could be 2025 toys for all we know.

 

How the sleeve goes over the box.

I thought they'd use new art that mimicked the style of the old art but it looks to be recycled art.

I mean, if the tooling is possible, they could pass of Armada Jetfire as a Leader Class, but seeing all the Leader slots for 2024 are filled, I think they might make him exclusive to a store (assuming they do), or not do it at all. As for Tidal Wave, he actually has uniquely many options to come out as a Commander Class, whether it be mainline, or they can actually make him Commander Class in the new Studio Series Gamer Edition based on how he looked in the PS2 game.
