ok, so can anyone translate the little japanese cards to see why all those older tf were on display? were they just there to give a history, or could theybe possible future reissues?

2 things,

I think the regular movie toyline like that optimus prime in the picture is apart of what will be the only movie toys i will get, screw everything else too many different lines to choose from, anything
outside the normal toys besides ultimate bumblebee and primes helmet
is not worth it

Megatron's pelvic area should have been all black instead of leaving a large chunk of it silver. That would have made the pelvic area look wider and more like the cartoon. That's nothing a little kitbashing won't cure, though.

The other thing is that every picture I see of him, his lower abdomen just looks like cardboard cut-outs. I realize it's three-dimensional and goes all the way around, but something about it just looks cheap from the front.

My opinions will probably change when I get it in hand, though.

From the pictures- MP Megatron looks very plasticy. I was hoping for the same amount of die-cast as MP Convoy.

ok...Is it just me, or from what I have just seen, is that Optimus Prime, as atoy, simply not just a badass transformer or what?? i mean, damn!!! look at him, in that stance he's freakin cool!! I want, i want!!! Damn, that is just a badass prime, flames and head design aside, and not mentioning the fact that he's a lot more bulky and boxier then the movie bot... but still as a toy of Prime, i gotta say.. Movie prime kicks ass!!!

And Oh my God!! is that Real Rubber tires I see??? :-?

WOW!! what a great idea, its like icing on a cake I really haven't tried before, and yes was a little aprehensive about, but all in all it looks delicious!! :lol:
