    I still have my Leader Class ROTF Optimus (electronics even still work!) so I’m good here.

    I hope that the combining gimmick of Prime and Jetfire would not hinder the figures too much more so on Jetfire because he will be disassembled for it. If not well at least they still look great and all. In 3Zero we trust.

    I was hoping for a single smaller Optimus Prime. Metal skeleton I'm guessing is one of the gimmicks. I just think if they already introduced that gimmick for the less wanted figures, then it would piss alot of fabs off if they ommited it with this release. And when I say skeleton I mean skeleton not Jetfire parts that are reinforced with diecast.


    Something tells me Jetfire wouldn't sell well. You have to think of it in terms of business practice to make a return and profit. Im Im saying he wouldn't sell, but I'm guessing adding Prime to the package really increases sales .maybe not for ME, but I'm definitely in for a smaller Optimus Prime .... You know in 2022 when it's released lol. ;) 

    No that's accurate to the movie. His feet were always gigantic clod hoppers (until 2017/2018 Bumblebee movie). :) 

    Pretty much. Yes to your question, once they do a "Premium SOUNDWAVE". But they don't make all Premium figures DLX versions. Hope this helps to add to your answer your looking for.

    I really like this take on Bayverse Prime's design! Although the details aren't all 100% accurate to the film, I feel this model improves on the movie design, closing up some of the gaps and improving the proportions to seem more "heroic".

    I'm excited about the Bayverse figures finally happening but I hope they're going to make some tweaks for the final product because at first glance it seems that this prototype has some inaccuracies. The blue is too light and it looks beefier than the movie model and some smaller details are missing (like the chrome for example). Maybe it's just me. I don't want to judge based on just one photo so I'll wait the full reveal before pointing fingers.

    I really hope for an Ironhide and I'm sure I'm not alone here.

    I would absolutely love for them to do a blackout, especially after seeing prime1's statue of him, really made me remember how much i like his design when done right.

    I'd love to see some more Decepticons! I don't want them to only focus on Optimus and Bee in the meantime. Them making characters like Jetfire, Soundwave and Blitzwing give me hope that they will cover characters such as Blackout, Starscream, Sideswipe, Ironhide etc

    Gimme these characters please. Posted this in another thread as my wishlist. To be honest, I'm getting pretty bored of seeing Prime and Bee for the 20th time. Great that we're getting this ROTF Prime since I always wanted them to do the early Prime design in DLX but man is it a bit tiring to see Prime and Bee over and over again.

    Blackout is probably one of the best designs to come out of the Bayformers. Would love to see him done in the DLX format. Diecast skeleton and even have a small Scorponok that connects to his back. Then have a separate one that's articulated and can be displayed on his own.

    Agreed on all accounts. I love my studio series Blackout, Megatron(s), and Starscream, but proper DLX versions would be holy grails. Honestly those would serve as my real MPMs at that point

    He looks a little thicc, particularly in the biceps and shoulders, and he doesn’t have much of a neck (hopefully you can make it sit more naturally by moving the joints around) but overall he looks pretty damn good.

    Fuck it, this is gonna be my MPM Prime

    Haha yeah! This is my masterpiece Prime.

    I was thinking of getting BB Prime but after seeing ROTF Prime, I might have to get this one instead
