Just like the title says. So far we have Ultimate OP, and Takara's version which is just a box trailer(though it can hold mech tech weapons and deluxe class vehicles which is cool). Seeing the trailer in the movie transform into Optimus's "Ring of death"

was awesome! Then to see im run in the middle and pick out his weapons of choice was the icing on the cake! Give us this!! I don't care is its sold seperately, just gime!!
And if Hasbro won't listen, any third parties out there listening? :grin:

Oh, and Leader class please!

I made a post a while back about third parties taking on the trailer but Blurrz didn't like it. :???:

Really, I personally think we've seen the last of the movie Optimus Prime new molds and retools; the rest will be straight-up repaints, then nada. I could be wrong, but I just don't see Hasbro giving a slag.
I'd like to see a nearly identical version of the Takara set, but Hasbro lacks the common sense to take a mold that isn't selling, give it a large accessory to heighten the price tag, and make more money than they did on the other two versions of it combined.
As for the ring thing...I have even more doubt we'll see a Hasbro/Takara representation of it. I hope we see some more creativity with Optimus before the movie stuff gets the axe for good (presumably), but I'm still waiting for some official word on any new mold figures or a goddamn retool at least.
But from what I know:
We gotta a lotta repaints comin' our way!
