Amazon Japan Pre-Order: Japanese Age of Extinction Blu-Ray Exclusive Hound

That is insanely expensive.

nice details on those color apps, now that hits previous movies level!

that price must be a mistake, cost 10 times more than an average toy on its class from the last 6 years

Awesome but insanely overpriced

Yea he's great, but not $120 great.

So the movie-accurate version is only being sold as an exclusive pack-in, and the general release has a lazy, uninspired paint job.

These things are no longer surprising to me.

Overquoting to say that at first, I found the idea of that armor set completely stupid. What's the point? Evasioptimus is perfect as he is.
Then, I got a closer look. IT'S A GOD GINRAI HOMMAGE! With this set, I can have a movieverse mini God Ginrai!!! Oh man, I'm so buying this!

Seriously, any G1 fan out there should have a God Ginrai set. It's incredible!

Just curious, but is that also why you like DOTM Ultimate Optimus so much? Because the fact that his trailer combines with him to make him a super robot kinda makes him a movie verse god ginrai homage, no?

Ultimat OP is not a God Ginrai hommage at all. The distinctive triple-window chest and unique guns are not there. However, it is an Optimus that combine into a something to become a SUPER mode. And I just LOVE that TF trope. Masterforce, RiD, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, ROTF, and DOTM.... I just love it. Only the ROTF one is the weakest of the bunch. Jetfire is only a backpack here. Lame. Also, one regret. Ultra Magnust should have been OP's first ever super mode. However, due to some business reasons, the character of UM was created instead. Not a big loss, mind you, because UM is awesome. Especially in Animated and Prime.

A very cool shellformer

i hope someone makes a third party mod on hound to have his beer gut as seen in the movie. but that's too expensive for me unfortunately and im saving up for an laptop right as of just now.

galvatron..... he looks awesome, nut is still a shellformer.

Dr Wu already made an add on set for that.
Also, the Galvatron is a Power Battler. Think Fast Action Battlers, but with less articulation. It's not that bad a shellformer, especially for a gimmicky simplified toy. It's on par with the Voyager, at least, which isn't as bad as people seem to believe. And anything's better than the First Edition Optimus.

You mean this guy?



Oh man, I cannot help myself from posting this pic whenever appropriate.

Yep. The First Edition is a pretty cool toy, but that shellforming just completely ruins it.

It took me a second to realize that the vehicle and robot were one toy, just separated.
