Hopefully the Optimus power bank will be available elsewhere for non-scalper pricing.

I'm just waiting for BBTS and TFSource to have preorders up.

I wouldn't really think so. It's usually at the cons that prices are jacked up, for the sake of "getting it first".

I highly doubt that the retail release would come with the Magnus.

The head sculpt on Arcee is great. The vehicle mode is a little lackluster as far as resemblance to the G1 cartoon.

I'm guessing the Ultra Magnus head will just be an Optimus head in White and Blue.

I love the packaging. I wonder if the wide release version will be in the same packaging or just in the standard packaging?

Earlier images have shown Magnus to be a retool of Fangry, actually. To be precise, he's Siege on Cybertron Thunderwing with a new face plate, thus has the die cast chest as well.

But what face is it? White Prime (probably a recolor of Ginrai) or the proper Magnus head and they've neutered the horns?

Neither.

YAAAASSSSSS.

But there is definitely blue on his back. No awesome Titanmustachio for us.

In this picture, we can see a silver chin and a blue helmet on the back of Titan Master Ultra Magnus, just as we can see Arcee's pink chin and white helmet on the back Leinad.

Thus proving, once and for all, it's Minimus with make-up on.

News Credits: 15 · Tue Aug 01, 2017 11:02 am

Hooray for a less skinny Arcee!! Excited to pick this set up, whenever it appears!

I read it wrong. I keep forgetting August is a thing lately. I'm moving in a few weeks and getting married next month. My calendar is shot to hell.

Thanks but my point still stands. I have a preorder on a stock image of Targetmaster Hot Rod at BBTS right now that I still don't think has been officially confirmed yet but I can't order Arcee yet.

I'm fairly Takara Legends Targetmaster Hot Rod has been fully confirmed, for all the things they are good at BBTS is pretty bad at updating their photos.

The Arcee we have seen is a Convention Exclusive Set, so no pre-orders for a regular retail release seems logical to me..we don't know what wave it will be a part of and they may not have those waves available for order yet.

I'm not the one to ask though..WJ? Va'al? JelZe? Sabrblade? Anybody?!

It's not going to be a regular retail release, it's going to be an exclusive of some kind. Beyond that, we don't know anything.

Arcee is not an exclusive - it'll be available after Hascon, but people attending Hascon will have early access to both that set and the Power Bank OP.

But the Magnus Titanmaster is going to be exclusive to this release.

I want it too.

What I mean is that it's going to be exclusive to BBTS or something like that because it's not coming through the normal retail channels, as far as we know.
