I would have much preferred there to be a flap which closes the legs, like with Ultra Magnus or at least for the hollowness to be on the back like. As it is, the figure only looks great (and by that I mean freaken phenominal) from the front and thats too bad. Am I the only one to feel that way?

The things that stick out to me are the bottom of the feet are painted red, which actually looks worse than the Hasbro one since the black sticks out better, and that little hood paint. Now mind you the paints actually match, but for me that is not a big issue. Overall, I'm still very happy with the hasbro version. Now that Optimus though, that is a nice figure.
Hasbro's sideswipe had a great deco from the start and the only complaints I heard were of the actual mold. Does yours hold together well? The main reason to getting a takara version would be more to get a tighter and better fitting version of the mold if that aspect of the figure was reworked. The deco is almost secondary priority if that part of the figure is fixed.
william-james88 wrote:Wait a sec, so that Optimus is a big toy, has electronics, great articulation, and not a simplified transformation... could this be the first actual leader class toy to incorporate all this since Leader Sentinel Prime?!
Also, while I am still not sure about the figure itself, the paint apps on Takara's Jazz put Hasbro to shame. I mean, we all thought it looked naked, but this is just sad:
Takara
Hasbro

AmiAmi doesn't decide what the toys are called. TakaraTomy does, and they call it "TAV21 Optimus Prime".fenrir72 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Konboi wa dare desu ka? Kore ga Oputimasu Puraimu.fenrir72 wrote:Convoy
He's called Convoy in their catalog in amiami

If you type in Optimus Prime in amiami looking for this item, you might get a "cannot find" item response

You sure? Because last night when I posted, Sideswipe and Optimus were still available while Jazz was sold out and 6 hours later it's still the very same status on all 3. Did the stock do a complete 360 in less than 6 hours?

Sold out again.If you base it on the time(12:28) stamp I posted the availability, it was like a total of 5 hours they were available. Heck, despite my not liking a visorless Jazz, I also preordered one.
Fen, I think you'll be happy. He is a neat lil' bot toy.fenrir72 wrote: Heck, despite my not liking a visorless Jazz, I also preordered one.
