wow... very nice! I hope to find him soon, I'll be in NY this weekend, hopefully the TRU in Times Square will have him in stock, I know it's prior to the 15th release date... but one can hope!

Dude! I hope you find him soon. He rocks!

oh trust me! I really hope so too!, I'm glad I finally saw a pic that compares both the Takara and Hasbro editions... I really like the blue that Hasbro did on him, a little different from G1 but that sets it apart from the rest!

thanks for the awesome pics!

Np man, and yea Hasbro really knocked it out of the park!

Do my eyes and ears deceive me?! Did Hasbro just release an Mp figure that's superior to the original Takara version?!!

Much prefer the Hasbro version. Brighter blue and colored eyes make it a no brainer.

Great comparison and review of the Hasbro vs. TT versions! I never jumped at the TT mold and I am very glad that I didn't. I am more than happy to own the Hasbro version! The colors look great to me and the eyes really put it over the top! The count down is on until he ships from TRU on Monday!!

All I can say is. Wow! Wow! Did I just double post? Wow! Man, either those pics came out good or this toy rocks. Or maybe both. But this is what an mp is supposed to look like. Just checked mp sideswipe and that's not a masterpiece. Sorry. Takara-tomy sideswipe for around $83 + shipping or Hasbro mp prime for $99. For almost the same price, sideswipe looks extremely inferior. Was gonna pre-order mp ss, but forget it now. I'll wait and see what Hasbro can do to make him 80 bucks. But Optimus is awesome. Glad I preordered 2, hehe
