    How did you know I was going to get this even before I made up my own mind?!

    Hopefully I'll be able to pick this one up in person in October :D  :D

    I'll skip this one, thanks. Now if this was a Revoltech Movie Ironhide, or Shockwave, color me interested.

    While having that level of detail go into the extremely screen-accurate characters' transformations would be cool, it would be extremely difficult. Plus, that's not really the point of Revoltechs. Highly-detailed, screen-accurate and unbelievably posable. That's the point. Even if they're Transformers characters, Revoltech's not going to spend the engineering time/manpower/money on doing that.

    ^ Huh, whaddya know, it does look more screen accurate than Jetwing Prime (which I read was developed before DOTM was actually released in theaters and based on a preliminary jetwing backpack design). I was kinda iffy about the angular folds in the main wings and the fact that the rear wings were smaller, but there it is. Thanks for the screen capture.

    I just saw those pics too. Can't wait :) )) LOoks like it won't come with the guns haha. So people still have to buy the original ver to actually make a full jetwing prime. I guess its called 'DX' and not 'jetwing' so they could get away with that. Eitherway, I'm getting him because they make great desk toys.

    Comes with a mask-less face plus the axe...

    I may break down and get this guy despite having the first one.

    I never got the first one... But I think I might get this. This'll be the "Robot Replica" I display.

    Nice. Though would've made sense to have guns instead of flying around with an axe n blade. Oh well. Looks cool anyway. And I'm sure someone's gonna radicon some gatlings. Consider me intrigued.

    'DAT AXE.

    Oh man, the axe, the maskless face, even the little handle so that he can hold his sword...

    [​IMG]

    However, if I can be a nitpicking nerd, that picture they have of him when he's holding his axe and sword looks strange. Don't get me wrong, it's not deterring me from buying this - not in the slightest. It's just that I think they could've chosen a better pose for that. His left leg in that position just looks...awkward. Bend his knee-joint or something. Still, that's hella' cool and my wallet will soon be hella' light.

    Wow, that axe looks like it might be a good fit for WfC Optimus.

    Looks good but after having the original release and selling it I have to pass on this one. The ankles are pretty much garbage on this guy and he couldn't stand very well on his own, it will be impossible with that Jetpack.
