In-Hand Images of Takara Tomy Transformers: The Last Knight TLK-15 Calibur Optimus Prime

That mod for the backpack shield is rather impressive. I do wish the flames where that darker red though... Looks like an amazing figure, and the best-of-the-best in every way. I really don't know how Hasbro hasn't gotten this one or the previous version out of Japan.

That's a good point. Flames on those shoulders would look badass... Maybe if they could rotate around? But then you'd expose the ball-socket.

(slightly off-topic: I didn't know there were domestic pre-orders for him: https://www.tfsource.com/transformers-t ... mus-prime/ - especially with the "bonus" sword)

Can they be removed or are those joints pinned?

So basically, the horrid backpack can detatch? Well, partsforming is a solution, but it's not the best one.

That's pretty damn cool. Not accurate at all but hey, it looks awesome. I'm loving that shield and the axe.

Meanwhile, in "They don't shive a git" news, HasBLO re-releases the AoE version. So stupid.

Whatever the logistics reason, it's still stupid. Hasbro would rather rush out something already made in hopes of a quick buck than work out a deal with Takara in the huge amount of time they had between films.

Courtesy of the Snakas blog, we have a rundown of upcoming figures from the Takara Tomy Transformers TLK (their version of the Hasbro The Last Knight line) with prices in Yen, running from yet unnamed TLK-20 Deluxe Figure character-M (but speculation on the blog is that this is Hot Rod) to TLK-31 Hyper Change Dragonstorm, with Nitro, Cogman and Leader Dragonstorm also rumoured, and MPM-4 Optimus Prime in the mix. Check out the info and available images below - though expect few surprises, as these are still the same toys as the Hasbro releases

In other news from Takara Tomy Transformers and their The Last Knight toyline, we have an exclusive listing found on Amazon.co.jp: TLK-EX Optimus Prime, a reissue of the 2007 Leader class, as we just saw Hasbro feature the toy in the Transformers Tribute line. Check out below some stock images from listing, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

No need to quote the post just above, but the '07 Premium version is far more... premium than this Tribute version.
I'll stick with mine.
