it’s pretty wild to me that all it takes is a hinge to fold down those stupid cat ears in vehicle mode, yet they chose to leave something so trivial

 

Soooooo.....we're not going to talk about the gigantic metal wang this thing has?

wtf?

 

All it takes is a simple little hinge joint on each of those cat ears. That's it.

 

Extra storage for big guns!

 

LOL

 

It doesn't look as bad as what was initially shown, but I can't get over how bad some parts of the truck is and the head sculpt!

 

Is there a higher resolution of the video they just released? Kinda weird that it's 480p in this day and age. It should be 1080p at least so we can make out the details better.

 

Where on earth did you come up with 200? Try closer to 130

 

They're useing the jacked up price from Tfsource, though if we go under the same reference, then freedom leader it's 300$.....

 

Yes and no. It’s undoubted that TFSource has an inflated price, but ChosenPrime also is listing him at $190. And all others I’ve tried either don’t have a listing for him or are just going with the $1 preorder down payment.

 

The current MSRP it's still unknown though.

 

I didn’t see this reply before. I think discussing how a third party alternative could potentially be better than this figure is allowed in this thread.

 

Tfsource, chosenprime, literally almost ever other store?

 

Yeah it is, why wouldnt it be

 

Showzstore, which normally has some of the cheapest prices, has him for $170-$175.


So it's defiantly closer to the $190 than the $130.

 

the only store i saw that was close to 130 was kapow, all the others were 190 or close to that

 

Looks great in that clip but, can he move his arms forward? It seems like even in the animation his shoulder is always down and his arm is always bent at a 90 degree angle. Makes the poses look awkward, especially when he jumps and finest fully extend his arm.

Overall I’m mildly excited for this. Still gonna get it and probably enjoy it but I’m the least hyped of the MPMs so far I think.

 

That video just made me felt like a kid again! I’m on the fence about getting him because I’m sure about the direction Hasbro is going with this franchise.

I really like this design and to me is the best modern update of Optimus. Heck, I like all the designs from the Bumblebee movie.

 

How about Toyworld Tactical Waistcoat?

 

It looks very good but the proportion and some detailing is inaccurate to the movie.
