    What an odd thing to reference, especially when its inclusion can lose you potential sales.

    So this thing costs THAT much because they wanted to reference that one time Optimus rode his dead friend..... and they decided to use an Optimus design that isn’t from that?

    can we get a release without the bike that’s significantly cheaper?

    How much is he? I didn't see the price.

    I love the look, but man the metallic parts will not set well with MP Megatron 2.0, unless they plan on making Bomber Megatron in the future.

    Based on preorders I’m seeing, $230. A price I have no interest in paying given a good chunk of it seems to be going into an accessory that has nothing to do with this prime design.

    Very, very, VERY looks like the official action figure IDW OP by Flame Toys!!!

    P.S Can MMA make a Turbo Cycle for MP Prowl?)

    What is with the propensity for non-transforming 3P figures being big, overpriced, metal beasts?

    Looks great, the bike is unnecessary though. That and the stand is way bigger than it needs to be.

    IDW Prime's legs always reminded me of this:

    It's been an action-master from the start... I guess some people are just realizing that. :) 

    These might not transform, but they're highly articulated figures.

    I wonder how long will it take until a 3P gives us that design

    Yeah but it’s also super expensive and it doesn’t look half as good as what Flame toys is putting out

    I know it’s an action master, I don’t mind that at all.
    The quality just doesn’t seem very good. Some joints looked loose in the video review a few pages ago, and it’ll be even worse without ratchet joints considering a lot of it is metal. The paint and aesthetic are beautiful, but I question the build quality. Flame Toys and ThreeZero don’t use many ratchets, but their stuff is incredibly well toleranced and well built.

    I would be much much more tempted by this if it didn’t have the bike and was around the $100 range instead

    We have to vote with our money. If it doesn't suit out taste, we're better off using that money elsewhere. There are lots of options for us. :)
