I'm not sure if this is really Striker prime, I saw it on a pre-order page. If I made it any bigger it got all blurry and you couldn't see it, but you can see he has the chrome!!! I can't wait to buy this guy.

Looks like the arms are all they changed, but the image is small, so i'll reserve judgment. That page also has a good image of deluxe soundwave and deluxe leadfoot.

I'll be honest; I don't like the gray arms, but the stealth mode for the truck looks amazing. At least in that dark and watermarked pic.

No, that was the only one like that and if I tried to make it any bigger you couldn't really see it all it was was some blocks with color so there was no point.

From the looks of it, the grey parts could just be prototypes of the remolded parts we saw on the Jetwing version.

Yeah, those are Takara release dates - BBTS have had pre-orders up for these for a while, but with no character data or pictures.

....which leads me onto this: why the hell are Hasbro (who will doubtless be ahead of Takara on release dates) keeping the release dates quiet?

I'm guessing it'll be mid-late September (in step with the retail release of the movie), but why keep us in the dark?

Most people, like myself, will probably change their BBTS preorder to Hasbro's version, depending on how the final figs look, and leave some online retailers with loads of over-ordered, late Takara stock.... >:oP

What/who is "Mr. Cruel"?

News Credits: 1 · by **Blozor** » Wed Aug 24, 2011 8:05 am

Just what I want when going into battle, to be bright red with a bullseye on my stomach.

Oh, good. Looks like Leadfoot has the doors on his chest after all. I wonder if they'll keep the name "Mr. Cruel" for the final release?

No, It's Dylan Gould, but maybe in Japan he's named mr.cruel?

Anyway, that armored prime looks leader sized. If so, we may (Crosses fingers) Be looking at this line's leader prime. so far we have sentinel, bee, and ironhide, megatron and shockwave are on the way, so prime needs a new leader release in the us, but with that new vehicle mold, it may be easier to transform, for those who complained.
I see it happening, but with that, we might have to say tata to a US Released jetwing....
All just speculation.
