Just waiting on Amazon Japan.

BB-02 is way smaller than MP-10 in bot mode. But the same size in truck mode! There's some nice mass-shifting going on here.

That is nowhere near the original toy. Yes, it shares some deign cues as they originate from the same source material. But its bigger for one. The back and chest are in totally different places, and literally all of the limbsa are different. It’s not just an upsizing

actually, the transformation is pretty much the same, with few extra steps here and there. here's the transformation video.

That pic shows one of the things I hate about certain figures, where the hands are obscured, particularly on any side that restricts certain accessories. AoE Evasion Prime's hands are blocked from below so if I wanted to have him hold a long staffed weapon like an axe he can't do it. That new version has completely unblocked hands and it's a vast improvement. Also as a bonus has nicer looking panels on the underneath of the forearm too.

I don't think I'll get the new figure though cos price/size/doesn't really go with anything in my (now mostly Studio Series) Transformers collection but it's certainly an upgrade in a lot of ways.

Question, is that a transforming shield? Or just another tf put in a shield like form?

That's the shield/backpack from Calibur Optimus Prime (the figure on the right). It transforms into part of his truck mode.

IMO this Prime figure would have been perfect had his feet and hands been painted in reverse so for that reason I'm out...'nuff said!

Shark Tank style!!

I actually do like this figure, and I'm hoping we get a version of it in the SS toyline. I mean, I didn't think we'd get Legends Super Ginrai and then *boom!* Siege on Cybertron set!

Hmm..he'd look pretty neat in the rusty colors to go with my AoE Armor Knight after seeing that shot with Calibur Optimus!

I'll wait for the inevitable Nemesis repaint

Can we call it a remaster?

Why would we? It's way out of scale with Studio Series.

Oh you know they'll change the SS scale to fit it!! That's "Bumblebee Movie" scale, with the giant hologram!!
