    Higher definition and more photos posted by Metagate on Weibo:

    Should be shipping in Mid-April.
    Price is 269 CNY = ~ $40 - I expect $50-55 at international retailers.

    Still looking quite good, but that's a bit more than I was hoping to pay. Might wait then til there's a review or something. We'll see. I'm glad it's supposedly releasing soon!

    LemonTree's Optimus still looks better.

    Official, 3P and KO Legends are all over the place. I guess this one is for Core Class then?

    This looks like a really good fiddle with figure, but that price feels a bit too high. Will have to see how it goes.

    Huge fire's proportions and details are a lot more screen accurate though, and lemon prime is about deluxe to nearly voyager scaled. Still a good figure though!

    That's a matter of opinion because it's less accurate to the film and way more G1 boxy. Plus it's way more expensive.
    That would be AMAZING. I really wish more 3P companies would cash in on that design!

    I really like lemon tree but I hate how dark he is. Soaks up the light and keeps any of the details from popping.

    Probably not in a Legends collection.

    I hope the hinged panels the shoulders attach to can tab in somewhere; if they just sit against the chest, that’d kinda annoy me. Figure looks good overall though

    Hate figures that have a flaw like this. It’s so annoying. Hopefully this isn’t the case though, I really like the looks of this figure, and I don’t mind the alt mode being a bit compromised if it makes an easier transformation. I will say I do like how it’s proportionally the most accurate BB prime we have tho

    That is somewhat movie accurate for both modes, but even the official toys didn´t go that route so yeah, the red top sections detract from vehicle mode, I´d rather they go like hasbro and just go with the robot mode windows.

    I don´t really care for that gimmick, in my mind the matrix is just a power up for Optimus and it doesn´t need to be seen, specialkly if it means fake kibble o.o

    Yeah, but it partsforms the front of the truck, I like good transformations. Also, I need a legends Optimus.

    Yeah, worst case you could just glue the things, but then you lose the truck. Which for me wouldn’t be a huge loss, but it’d be nice to not have to do that. We’ll see!

    You're right! I stand corrected. Although I seem to have vague recollection of another Bumblebee Optimus in Legends scale. Guess there wasn't one before this.

    I suppose I could argue because it comes with a trailer, but it's moot because I forgot it's not a Legends figure.

    Were you thinking of Lucky Cat? They’d announced a Bumblebee movie Legends-scale Optimus and Bumblebee.

    Looking at the TFcon photos, boy is doing a lot of work for someone around 4 inches.
    Wonder how many times that has been said.
