    Just remember what @Gamerlingual told us Yuki-san said at Tokyo Toy Show. They're just to make this the best Optimus Prime ever, and to be patient. Our patience will be rewarded.

    Fun fact: some or most of the G1 cartoon model sheets were created after only the front-view from photos of the toys. (reason why inferno had no backpack, so they did not know how some parts of the toys were)

    Some times they just got the toys to create them. Also a factor on why Menasor's creation was a "mess".

    Yup, that's why the crane visible behind Grapple's right leg instead became part of his leg (back of his thigh), with no crane on his back at all

    Probably just randomly stylized so it wasn't an open void. To my knowledge, I think he was the only toy that had no back. Could be wrong. G2 Prime capitalized on that however.

    Hell if Yuki is working on this in addition to Kobayashi, there might be some highly playable aspects that make this thing straight up hand candy.

    If we don't see anything in Figure King #250, we're sure to see something in Generations 2019, just announced by Hero X and coming out on December 10th.

    I am glad that all the hours I've put into studying Japanese has somewhat paid off because I was able to somehow read the first message on that Twitter post.

    Nothing very interesting really. It's just announcing the Generations 2019 edition coming out on December 10th. The edition celebrates the 35th year of Transformers as well as the new movie coming out.
