The TRU listings had it marked down as an exclusive (which doesnt surprise me, they have the MP exclusives ever since the relaunch of the MP line)

Jeez... these two will actually be affordable. I was expecting to pay upwards of $180 for Prime alone (didn't notice the price on the listing screenshot). Awesome!

Its because he doesnt come with a trailer and a ton of accessories, unlike MP 10.
Bumblebee is also bare of accessories. Instead he has built in features (which I am all for).
So 80 and 100 makes sense.

No, you're right - just didn't occur to me. Though I am hoping Prime comes with all or most of the weapons he used in the first movie, which I don't think was that many to begin with.

It's the reverse, ROTF will be the bigger one. Hasbro and Takara both stated that this MPM line s supposed to mirror the scale of the MP line, so carbots are the same size and so are Faction Leaders. So since BB is made to be the same size as MP Sideswipe and Wheeljack, MPM Optimus should be the same size as MP Optimus.
So shorter than the ROTF mold

Are we sure about that? According to this random scale chart I found, Prime should be almost twice as tall as Bee (and taller than MP-10) if they want to keep them in scale. Do we have the numbers for MPM Bee yet?

Although I cannot guarantee it, this probably will end up like the last render and become a third-party figure.

Just saying another leak happened for what we third was a Leader Optimus, but it turned out to be third party. I remember that leak looked suspiciously like this one. I'm still not convinced.
If it is happening, I'm overjoyed, but if not then I'm not surprised.

It's true, we don't always get sound info - but weibo is way more trustworthy than 4chan for this sort of thing, so we keep an eye on that too.

Totally agree. How would they even get their hands on this render? Just doesn't add up.

But isnt this the same guy who put up pics of the Movie Voyager Megatron prototype before it was revealed? Those toys are made in Vietnam too but it was a leak from China.
