Do you remember where Jetfire connects with prime in that belly area? I ask because the 5 areas retooled for this release are the following:
Forearms: no longer have swing out sword (thank GOD)
Hands: now have articulated fingers
Gas tanks: now removeable
Abdominal area: those red hook pieces have been cut and the abdominal area was resulpted to look like organic abs.
Jetfire hooks onto the feet (no problem) and pelvis. Now I do not know if the reworked abdominal area means any change to the pelvis. If it does, then he cant connect, but if it doesnt and the pelvis is intact, then it would still be able to connect.

Fingers? At least that's what the headline in another site tformers.com presented.

I was asking what was new for this release that wasn't in the APS versions. You suggested the fingers, which I answered as those having already been in the most recent APS version.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:From the latest APS version.fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What's new in this release that wasn't already in previous Asia Premium Series releases?fenrir72 wrote:Not a lazy re-issue but actually with new features!

What I stated. Poseable fingers.What is the issue then? Accuracy of my post? Was it inaccurate with the fingers thingie?

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:The articulated fingers are not new, as stated. But the feature was planned for the original RotF release, making it to the stock photo stage. However, the economic crisis of 2008 meant that the parts count had to be lowered a bit, and designs simplified. Starscream, Sideways, Rampage and Optimus Prime were the most noticeably affected, in the latter case the hands became solid pieces:
This was kept for all iterations of the mold until the APS-01U Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition. That release has both the Jetwing and Striker accessories, and even adds 2-2-1 articulated fingers, plus a knuckle buster and battle hooks. It's that release the 10th Anniversary release is based on.
