They've even given the large flappy ides of his body articulation which is great news! Shame he seems to have monkey arms though.

I don't know if this mold is growing on me(since I have hated it since the beginning) or if they've done something more proportional with the leader.....but I like it.

Looks like he'll have those damn tattoos. I hope we see a premium repaint by Takara. I'm going to hold out for one. Also not a big fan of the hands, but that's really a problem with the monkey armed design.

I can't wait to see the alt mode.

He's so ugly, he's Oooogly. No Thanks.

It worries me that all we’re seeing is the excellent robot mode. I’m imagining a ROTF Jetfire-like alt mode- great plane mode from one angle, folded-up robot underneath. I’ll still buy it, tho, jsut for the size and added details.

If they do a repaint, I hope they do it as Starscream appeared in Transformers (1); the tattoo design is cool, but I'd like a normal Raptor deco, too.

Im not sure who this group of people sitting at the table are, but by the pictures spread out all over the table and the grey prototype color of the figure, Im guessing this is a production team. (Shoot me if Im wrong) But if this is a production team from a Japanese company, why do all the members appear to be non-Japanese ??? I really hate to think that Americans play a role in deciding which figures may or may not be sold in the USA. That would be messed up...

Great job on the figure though. hope to see it at a Wal-Mart near me.

Those are designers from Hasbro.
Hasbro does have designers too you know.
And just a FYI but they mention in this particular piece that they DO read the forum boards and see the fans feedback.
And unfortunately they cannot please everyone.
