In-Package Images Movie Advanced EX Rollbar and In-Hand Images Micron Campaign Carnivac

i guess.. good for those who want a rollbar. though i thought the focal point for the breakout battle set was EMOP.

*watches video*
holy crap! did the original leader prime have wrist swivels? this one does!

Point One: I'm quite happy I bought AD-31 from Amazon yesterday.

Point Two: Any idea if this Rollbar is out yet? I don't have his mold and the Rollbar one is as good as any but it would fit my AoE Detolf area.

I think I'll wait for the news to come out.

There you go.

When using the youtube tag, just enter everything after v= and you'll be good. No need to enter the whole URL.

Hmmm.. Even with the retool they could have folded the backside into a back pack or engineered a better bot.. I am not a fan..

But I am! Bought, paid, and on it's way!

Well don't get me wrong, the video show casing the newer version from Takara Tomy is nice.. But once you have bought the DMK 03 (on order by me), it just doesn't add up.. Also, I have the Twin Blade prime movie figure, and it's engineering is pretty darn good, no buster rifle, but great work making it as close as it could be to the movie, with the engineering involved.. Out of the three releases of the AOE Prime, that Takara Tomy version is pretty nice, and the remolded parts and paint apps are great as well. I am just not a fan of that giant backpack, or the wings over the shoulders.. I just feel like there was more that could have been done to make it more closer to the actual CGI model.



But then again, it is only the third release.. There were a ton before they finally got as close as they have. I will wait to see what else comes out that may be what I am looking for in that particular figure.

Again, don't get me wrong, the new figure is pretty much as close as possible at this current time, and a great buy for those who do not mind the backpack..but for me.. it needs more work. I will have to point out the shame that the first releases sucked so bad to the Takara retooled version..

For me a Transformers MUST transform. Sure, that backpack of his is a great compromise to make, but it's one that I accept. For me, a TF that don't transform is pointless, no matter how good he look.

Heck, I bought my Hasbro Leader AoE Optimus at roughly 67$ taxes included at my local TrU. Sure, I overpaid but I found the good outweight the bad. However, that new AD-31 Optimus look so amazing (and transform) I had to buy him. I may put my Hasbro one in storage but I'll bever sell it for 2 reasons. First, it will never be worth it because I'll lose way too much money. Second, it's so different from AD-31 that it's worth keeping.

Like I said before, to make a transformable Optimus that is 100% perfect in vehicle mode and who is 100% the same from the CGI model would requite a new mold. Bigger and way more complex than the ROTF Leader OP one. Even then, I don't think it would ever be truly possible. Maybe if we figure out how to make transformium?

I don't disagree with your purchase, or the fact that there are limitations in making a Transformer toy, costs, engineering, etc.. But I asked myself a fundamental question as a collector.. How much time on my shelf does my figures remain in robot mode versus vehicle..

It turns out, about 96%..so My personal preference has now drifted towards being able to get a bot that looks perfect in robot mode, and in vehicle as well. Or just robot mode..Why not settle for both, or the 96%. that's just me..I like that figure of Optimus from AOE.. the newer version.. but I am going to hold off until I see maybe a future version that is made better.

Maybe, but history points towards another release..I mean, it is Optimus Prime as a Knight! A little boy's fantasy.. and My personal secret fanboy bucket list item..

I think there is a good chance another version may appear.. Not in leader necessarily.. but maybe Voyager.. or Ultimate class..

Thanks to the @TF_pr Twitter account, we get a new image of the Hound figure included with upcoming Amazon Japan exclusive Age of Extinction Blu-Ray release. This image looks like a much darker green than the previous promotional image. This set is scheduled for release December 10.
