And Lockdown now has a hook... even though it was more of a two-pronged claw in the movie.

He had both. The hook was to nab Prime, and the claw tore out Ratchet's spark. I'd say his new gun is based off the claw.

Wow, these are tempting me, especially lockdown, he looks so good with that hook.

Well damn, Lockdown looks like he should have on his original toy. I would be tempted by this new Lockdown if it weren't for the mediocre mold, the fact I will soon have 4 different versions of the skeleton, and the fact that he doesn't appear to have his head cannon.

Once again via TFND on Facebook, we have the second row of Takara Tomy Transformers Movie the Best figures recently revealed - the first can be found here! Check out below official images of Jetfire, Optimus Prime (and their combination, as seen in Revenge of the Fallen), Hammer Bumblebee, Hound, and Nemesis Prime!

Goddamnit I just want the Voyager TLK Prime in actual Nemesis Prime colours..

Wowzer! I'm loving them all! Still wonder if Leader Prime and Jetfire will have new sounds like MB-11 Prime did.

They did really good with Hound there. The extra stuff really helps him out. I actually gave the TLK one all my AoE Hound weapons and am keeping the AoE one in alt mode. Jetfire looks pretty good too. Revenge Prime is a nope.

I am really tempted by Bee. Every TLK version of him needed that hammer. Shame this is the only one.

Strongly tempted by Nemesis too. I have yet to get any Nemesis version of Prime, and that version is killer.

wait so does revenge Prime come with jetfire as a double pack? Because if not, then his price makes no damn sense.

Also, the deco on Hound is very lackluster.

Him coming in a 2-pack with Jetfire would make even less sense, considering he has a standalone release as well.

No, the high price must partially stem from his electronics, plus the extra accessories he comes with, like the knuckles, hand-held Battle Blades, and him being a hybrid of the standard RotF Leader (chest), Jetwing/Striker (forearms) and Ulitmate Edition (hands).

That's what I was thinking.... that "Revenge Prime" looks exactly the same, has the same items (minus the face ripping hooks) and costs MORE. He has to be paired up with Jetfire....

But its the same stuff MB11 has more or less and his price was 2/3 the price. Once again, why buy this?

I some of them - but I would have liked an alternative head on Jazz (for example).

I think if you want the Nicest deco it might be worth checking out some of the other lines 1st.

I likely have 10 of Jazz's Mould already - I'm really struggling to look for a reason to buy another one.

The one I use the most is the G1 colour version - that one is really spiffy - Final battle Jazz is nice too. I also like Smokescreen.

Perhaps a more creative way to have progressed would have been to make the Human Alliance one in a Battle damaged deco.

Heck just make some more Human Alliance in general - Landmine for a start and Attack Mode Topspin then Jolt, and a 1960's Bumblebee.

Thank you now I'm hungry for jello megatron figure looks better to hasbro Figure with better paint job to make Figure

Jazz, Bonecrusher, Megatron, Bee, ROTF Optimus and Jetfire are all "WHY". Those figures are NOT rare and have nothing really new to offer.

Lockdown with new head? Yeah, that one is indeed nice.

New part to "complete" Hound's vehicle mode? BRILLIANT! Too bad his paint job is so... plain...

And finally, dat Nemesis Prime... DAMN he's so tempting. Having gotten rid of all of my AoE Leader Optimuses, including AD-31, I am really tempted by this one. The ugly-ass backpack is no more, plus he have SOMETHING NEW to offer with that swell and unique deco. Let's hope the price will be somewhat reasonable.

The same reason they keep releasing MP-10 and jacking up his price every time. Because if you didn't buy it last time, then you'll pay whatever they demand to get it this time.

Not sure I want to pay over 100$CAN for that. Sure, the yen did drop, making importing from Japan more affordable, but there will be shipping and as you know so well, customs are random and can be nasty.

Will wait for either a sale or some video review.

Yep. I will be getting that Bumblebee.

Still annoyed calling him Nemesis Prime.
Nemesis Prime should be black and teal, not Blue and Red.
Who the hell makes these decisions. Yes he needed to be on the poster
and look like Optimus Prime for false advertising since 95% of the movie is
stupid humans with retarted dialobue.
And people wouldn't recognize Optimus is he was black and teal and not go see
the movie because people are equally intelligent like the dialogue in this movie.

Prices are through the roof. Hammer looks good on Bumblebee.
Did we ever get that claw-grappling hook Bumblebee had in TF4?

Nope, although I did hodgepodge one together on my AOE Bumblebee with the plasma cannon he came with and some mechanical pencil clips. Actually looks pretty good!

He's screen accurate. Why's that so hard to understand? I'm glad it's like that and not the other way around. If it's not to your liking, go but AOE Black Knight Prime. He ain't expensive either.

With all this MB talk, I decided to go back to my MB 11 and noticed something odd. His left elbow has a ratcheted joint while his right does not. is that the same with anyone else?

I have three wishes if we ever get another wave of MB figures.
1:Voyager HFTD The Fallen. Would be cool to have a screen accurate version of this guy who isn't a weird blue color

2:Voyager AOE Galvatron. Would look great in silver, and a pretty good figure considering how he 'transformed' in the film

3:Deluxe TLK Barricade. I want him to be closer shade of blue to the one he was in the film, a new headsculpt would also be appreciated.

Probably an unpopular opinion with the first two choices, but if bloody Bonecrusher can get an MB figure then by Primus I want my shiny Galvatron!

Is this toy below a different sculpt?

The most notable differences are in the hands, and a newly sculpted head which improves articulation and better represents his appearance in the film...you can also violently rip off his face. He also has a command staff that previous versions of the figure lacked.
