    I totally agree. TT and TE are more toon accurate but I much prefer this version. I even used it for reference to tweak my 3D model of the -ation Optimus.

    This apparently came from their weibo.

    I think it's a joke he's way too large for that group.

    I'm still quite hyped for this figure. I've said countless times on this thread how much I love the exclusion of faux parts that still makes the figure look decent proportionally. Also good to see that the major complaint most people had (the crotch flap) has been fixed. I'm very excited to hear more news on this. I might have to kiss my MP-10 goodbye, and definitely not for the MP V3.

    You know, if he turned out to be that size, I'd be pretty impressed. And I'd be just fine with it.

    I reaaaally hope it's not a joke. It would be the Legends figure of the year. :D

    You didn't capture the quoted post for that. The weibo user is asking for a scaled version to match the MS-B line.

    I second third and fourth this (my friends agree) I'm not sure how it will structurally work but I'm sure they could figure it out if there's time. The best Optimus would be this if they fixed the chest.

    I'll still get TE-01 & MP-45(46?) OP V3 as well as the MS-01 regardless.

    I have to make a correction here. I meant this would be the best 'Masterline/3rd party' Optimus Prime. Toy solidity wise. It also would need the stacks flat to look proper imo, and I still think volume 3 reigns supreme nostalgia wise of the look I want. But I still highly believe this mold would be rock solid.

    And everyone keeps saying about the crotch plate but as long as the articulation is there a crotch plate is more sincere. Pull down joints are one way or slide joints.

    Not a fan of the proportions on this one. Makes the decision to not purchase that much easier

    He looks very nice but does seem quite chunky in the lower legs and the lower arms. Proportions are a little off for G1 - gives more of that Dreamwave vibe. I think he’d look really nice with MT’s Despotron.
    Where this blows Takara’s out of the water is the cleanliness of the bot mode. Takara’s looks like a mess of panels and gaps and lines where this is just clean unbroken surfaces. But I suspect the chunkiness is the trade off for that.
    Watching the video he has a mega ab crunch though it totally destroys the sculpt. There’s no cover on the matrix, it’s just directly behind the windows. Looks like standard unarticulated MP hands (sigh). It’s very plain, which is pretty toon inspired.
    Definitely be picking this up but mainly because I collect Opt and Megs - so I’ll be getting them all.

    Amazing. I think this will be the toy to make Hastak hate 3P.
