BATTLE HOOK X2 (DETACHABLE): NEW
KNUCKLE X 1 (NEW PARTS): NEW
JETWING X 1: Jetwing
SHIELD X 1: Striker
ELIMMINATOR GUN X 1 & ASSAULT BLASTER X 1 (TO FORM MEGA STRIKER): Striker

Just two: the knuckle and the hooks, though the hooks seem to be retooled from the Battle Blades.

The articulated hands and fingers are also new.

Right on! Those were from the prototype of the original ROTF Leader figure, but were dropped from the final version. And now they're back. :DANCE:

No attachable/removable mouthplate, though.

Sooooo, not quite "ultimate" then.

Actually, this would be pretty nice for me, as I don't have several of these accessories, but I'm kinda done with movie figures.

I wasn't collecting around the time that ROTF came out, this guy seems awesome an I'll likely pick him up, if his price isn't outrageous. Any word on pricing yet?

It's an inverted breast plate for a female Transformer.

When you must positively, absolutely wipe out very single one of those Decipticreeps.

Hey guys, I follow both this and the devastator threa since I reply to both and since my inbox had new posts from both they were on top of eachother and my mind read:

Asia Premium Ultimate Optimus Prime so big it needs its own thread lol

And indeed, it does have its own thread. From experience would this thing possible be over 200$?

It should be over $200. I think $200 was around the price for the Asia Striker Optimus set.

Yep ... just found my shipment email from BBTS dated November 14th, 2012:

BBTS wrote:TAK11548 APS-01 Asia Premium Series Striker Optimus Prime 1 $189.99

If I recall correctly, Jetwing Optimus was $200 something too. I'd be willing to bet around $225 to $250.

It's times like this I wish Hasbro Asia was beholden to the yen.

It's times like this I wish Hasbro Asia was beholden to the yen. Then we'd be looking at under $200... But if they can charge $200 for MP Skywarp, we can expect this to be more expensive.

Converts from off-balanced eye candy piece to kitchen appliance in thee easy steps! Perfect for the homemakers of Cybertron.

Now this is something I really wish Hasbro would give us stateside. And really I think it would be perfect because we neither got the Jetwing or Striker Primes. Now I can understand it not being a mass release, but if they could talk Wal-Mart or Target into carrying it as an exclusive, great. I think this would have done better than those two-packs that Wal-Mart had with the scout size and legion size figures. I think we could have even had it for around $65-70, leader + voyager sized amount of parts, or $75-85, if given a premium paint job. And really given how much I like my Jetwing Prime I would say anything under $100 would be a great deal.
