Planet Iacon have posted images of the previously reported KO battle hooks for Leader Class ROTF/DOTM Optimus Prime and upcoming KO Jetwings. The hooks are molded in translucent orange to mimic their appearance in the Transformers ROTF forest battle scene when Optimus Prime used them to rip Grindor's head apart. The KO wings come chromed out just like the ones that come with Exclusive Transformers DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime Black Edition. However, these would only fit Striker Optimus Prime (or Jetwing, but if you have him you don't need wings) unless they have been remolded to fit the previous versions of the mold.

so this will only fit the same version of the mold that comes with the wings already?

I might be missing something here. Is it possible to buy an Optimus on his own to stick the wings on, or are they just a different colour or something?

The RotF Leader mold was retooled for Jetwing, and retooled again for Striker. Striker had the gas tanks changed, rendering them irremovable for the Jetpack. If you can somehow removes the gas tanks, you can fit the Jetwing onto Striker.

Jetwing Optimus Prime has a remolded mid-section. Striker Optimus Prime also uses this remolded mid-section, but of course doesn't come with the wings. In theory if you own Striker Prime you could get these and form an ultimate version of the Leader Class DOTM OP, a combination using both the Jetwing parts and the Stiker parts.
