    Absolutely stunning ToyWorld. This is the perfect movie Optimus. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

    This is bought day one. No matter the cost.

    I don't see how you're any less in the dark, though. They said they'd show it on the 15th but how does knowing that ahead of time help? Were you sitting at your computer refreshing today until it came up? Or did you just pop on the site like you would any other day and there it was? That's what I did, so it wouldn't have made any difference to me if they hadn't announced that the pics were coming. I still think that, in order to be able to say they're going to show it on a specific date, they have to have it ready before that date. So essentially what they're saying isn't so much "We'll show you pictures on the 15th," as it is, "We'll have pictures but we're going to make you wait until the 15th for no reason."

    But whatever. They showed the pics and they're great. Now somebody digibash them! :D

    Yep, I’m getting this

    The elbows, yes, but that’s not a big deal. I think the knees are ratcheted though, the screw looks like it’s for something else

    Nevertheless, someone should use the color from the colored head.

    His knees could go either way with this. If you look back to the picture back in post #265, his knee can definitely bend at the lower visible pin. However, if that knee plate was fixed it would remove the point of the upper pin entirely, unless they're strictly to hold two pieces together (which may or may not later be moulded as one). So either there's a joint there or a slider for transformation.

    The elbows, though? They look to have pins top (within the upper arm) and bottom, and the upper joint looks to be for transformation - not specifically for articulation. I mean there's probably nothing to stop you using it for articulation if you want, but there appears to be a panel on the back which would lock it into place (which itself may or may not be held in place by the panel on the back of the shoulder). The hollow in the elbow may provide room for a ratchet to be added before release but I've no idea whether that void is needed for transformation or not.

    I wonder which will be available first... SS38 on Aus shelves, or this at retailers with reasonable Aus shipping...?

    I'm that guy and will bring it up again, the faceplate is protruding too much. That's my only qualm for now. It's always the face for some reason...
