I would like it better if they weren't so blatantly mis-transformed. FFS does Hasbro read its own instructions!?

Grrrrr. I'll probably end up with it just for the alt mode truck and trailer mode. But I do it under protest that they didn't find a way to use the excellent ROTF mold as the basis for this combination. :BANG_HEAD:

That definitely looks like a leader class, which means I'm getting this

Robot and vehicle modes look great, but I'm still not sure about the power-up mode. It looks better than the previous pictures though.

Money saved !!!

The only one I kind of like is Megatron.

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:59 pm

Megatron and Prime look good to me!

The leg armor looks like braces to make a paraplegic walk again. Ill probally end up buying it to keep in trailer mode only if its leader class. But screw the power up mode. To this day I have never combined my Jetfire and Movie 2 Prime.

Unless the video makes scale hard to tell, those look larger than deluxe.

Any revelation on the price-point for ultra Prime?

With the upcoming TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON movie, one of the most iconic characters in the TRANSFORMERS lore will capture the spotlight as his heroic story becomes the focus of the first-ever 3D TRANSFORMERS movie. Now, an action figure befitting such an icon will be available with the new TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME action figure. The figure includes the AUTOBOT leader’s classic trailer that doubles as a weapons arsenal and is an integral part of the figure’s converting play pattern. The TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME figure features three modes of conversion – vehicle, robot, and robot with “mech suit.” –The trailer, which serves as a weapons depot and command center, also converts into a “mech suit” that OPTIMUS PRIME shows off when it’s time to rumble. Featuring lights, launching projectiles, electronic battle sounds and OPTIMUS PRIME phrases, this is the must-have item for kids and fans alike. 3 AA batteries included.

I have to get that leader Ironhide! And Sentinel Prime is looking good too!

The box says "Omega Combat armor." Throw in the mech tech points on the weapon modes of the basic HA figures, and I'm starting to think Omega Supreme could be a big Autobot combiner in this film, with Prime being the central point of combination.
Take of that speculation what you will.

Props to who posted images in the first revealed Ultimate Prime combined pictures mode thread, of the Gundam that had the wings pointing down...Totally saw the video here and was like, "wow, what a difference that makes." Still not very interested in it, but hey, at least I'm not so deterred by it anymore, lol.

Also, no alt-mode for Leader Ironhide?

What gives?! lol.

Hasbro better not charge an arm and a leg for him just because they brought the trailer back. The trailer came standard anyways 5 years ago until they got greedy. I hated all the not trailer years. he always felt incomplete to me.

by **OptiMagnus** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:13 am

I told you guys we'd get a leader Ironhide! But you didn't believe me...HA! He looks so cool though. I gotta get him.
Leader Bumblebee...dammit I gotta get him too.
Sentinel Prime is already on my list.
Ultimate Prime looks even better here to me. I'll have to get him too.

by **Evil_the_Nub** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 12:14 am

Whoever decided to make leader class Bumblebee and Ironhide should be fired. Megatron and Shockwave would actually make sense at that size.

Do the bumblebees ever stop?! I mean, Ironhide as a leader-worthy design at least, but they even had ultimate Bumblebee and battle ops already!

by **kookookajew** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 4:33 am

leader class ironhide ... FINALLY YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Ironhide got the size class he deserves

Sentinel prime.. deffinate buy.
Shockwave and megatron are definate too... just wish they were both Leaders

...

4 buys I'm excited about ... damn you hasbro for making me excited about movie figures haha.
I'll be sticking with my ROTF Leader prime .. For such a downgraded looking robot mode from the previous leader (understandably you're getting more figure and playability) .. its just not worth it. It looks like its gonna be a brick in that "mech suit" or whatever and quite frankly ... $80 for it? LOL .. oh hasbro .. you so hillarious ..

I just pray they dont jack up the prices in LC figures in this line D: ...

All of the Prime figures look great, DOTM Sentinel is awesome, voyager Megatron and Shock wave are so far my favorite and the best looking in my opinion, and I'm glad we got a better look at Ultimate Prime. It'll probably take a video reveiw to convince me to buy him, but so far I'm looking forward to him.
