Love how that little Optimus has arm and knee articulation.

I never thought we'd see this and due to being a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive I'll never have it.

Damn, missed the part about it being a TTM exclusive. That's dumb, I wonder what their excuse is? Repaints of expensive MPs is one thing, but a huge new figure with no real repaint potential? Seems like a lot of wasted potential. Guess we'll all be at the mercy of whatever Hasbro's arbitrary price is, hopefully not over $300.

Every online retailer will carry it in the U.S., though. It won't be hard to get.

I’m so shocked! This might be my favorite masterpiece so far! I’m glad they realized they can paint intricate details on mini figures not leaving their face blank like the human figures. And where’s my MP Jazz you tease!

I wouldn't be surprised if someone upscaled the Siege version, removed some surface details and called it a day for an easy "Fauxterpiece" KO...

Actually, the pics came originally from Takara Tomy Mall, if I'm not mistaken?

BBTS wants a non refundable deposit and I just can't do that. Their release is also a month later, maybe. BBTS release schedules have been spotty lately.

Wow, might be one of the few transformers that is a bit too big for my liking (sieges height goes great with other autobot leaders in non scale height - mp starsaber, KFC citizen/magnus, star convoy, mp1 prime, ft grimlock).
The mini figures kind of feels like the effort they should have gone to for Unicron even if not at scale compared to the slugs.
It definitely won't replace my siege jetfire with siege being a nice toy but if I only had to have one, the MP is winning out. Thinking siege will be in vehicle mode and mp in bot mode much like I do with the others - except for the amount of space that will take up.
Also really nice to see an official toy being better than third parties for a change and not needing upgrades out of the box.

I hate that this figure has the wings attached to the backpack: the original Skyfire (like the Macross toy He was derivated from) has the wings on the reare of the chest, not on the backpack.
This gives to the alt mode a weird shape.

There was some reports of the swirly plastic on MP Beast Wars Megatrons groin area occasionally self destructing.

That's cartoon accuracy for you.
On a different note, I like that the backpack can split apart for toy accuracy.

Gotta admit, I'm really impressed! The overly smooth bodywork does not annoy as much on this guy for whatever reason. He just looks damned cool.
