    I personally don't see anything wrong with the mouth plate.

    Hmmm, Yeah it's protruding a bit, but I don't find it aesthetically wrong, just different. I don't mind it either way, I hope it gets fixed for the ones who do care.

    Apparently the wipers are also removable for cybertron mode. They just forgot to do so for the shoot.

    Also, the face isn't supposed to look like that. toyworld said that the face plate isn't adjusted properly. I'd quote the original text if I could but I'm being flagged for spam-like content as it's my first post.

    Edit: yep, apparently I can't input any Chinese text in my post. You'll have to take my word on what I read in the comments.

    You're welcome. I've been lurking on the site to watch this thread and the other 3P cybertron optimus (can't remember the name of the company).

    Also, the newer comments say that there will be a display stand included in the 'premium edition'. In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, preorders start month end (which also coincides with color images, not sure renders or color prototype).

    EDIT: Here's the comment that talks about the premium edition that'll come with a display stand.

    yep, this was the one.

    Edit: Didn't want to double post, but I found this while scrolling through comments.

    Translation:
    Some guy: the back of the arms look hollow. Hope it'll be fixed. (other stuff about the length of legs and shape of truck, but it's irrelevant here).

    toyworld: the hollow parts of the arms are no more. Making prototypes take about a week and the one displayed today was last week's design.

    Gorgeous!

    (And yeah, down to the bulging faceplates. Always hated when some designs gave him that. Looks terrible. Straight, hard edges and angles all day, boys!)

    Absolutely gorgeous!!!

    Also not too worried about the faceplate since the head they were teasing for him was better, this might just be a stand in one

    Someone should try to use the coloring of the head to color the body.

    Welcome. And thanks for dispelling that issue, that’s the only issue I could even see; good to know it won’t be there

    Holy hell this is basically the perfect transforming BB OP. I am VERY impressed!

    The only thing about this (aside from the back of the truck mode) is the size. He looks very very big, as expected, but I do still wish he had been an few cms shorter. I wish he was MPM4-size.

    Anyway, I am truly impressed by this. Bravo toyworld. If their Shatter looks anywhere near as good as this I will be SO happy!

    I think that this figure might be the best movie Optimus figure ever, not the WJ black apple one. Though since this movie is considered a reboot at this point, perhaps that accolade wouldn’t extend to all the movies

    When these guys were iGear did they have another Prime called Freedom Leader also. He must be like 15" which is fine by me
