I heard ya the first time, you know.

Getting really tired of your sarcastic attitude towards other members, especially new ones. Great way to welcome them to the site.

Sorry,I accidentally typed 2 times. I was thinking about something,Kanrabat and, Burn, it was not really his fault.

I bought the standard version of AoE Leader Optimus, and payed the "TrU tax" (they sell their leaders 5$ more than everyone else for some reasons). That was 60$ plus taxes at TrU instead of 55$+tx at Walmart and Target. I really like it with all the paint aps he got, the chrome and the rubber tires. AoE Optimus feel already like a premium figure.

Still, When some in-hands images of this "upgraded" AoE Leader Optimus pop up I will take a look and see if this will be worth the possible 100$ shipped this thing will maybe cost. So far, it look very promising. I'll wait and see if it's worth it to buy the "same" expensive figure a second time.

BTW, I just wanted to make a joke with my previous coffe post, not be a jerk... please dont hit me!

is everyone talking about AD-31? is that the proto we saw of the armored leader OP remold a while back?

tiny pic, but it looks promising.

Sure is, formerly known as Ultimate Power Mode Optimus Prime, but now called Armor Knight Optimus Prime... Same as the Silver Knight in the 4-pack

He also has newly molded feet also. I'd love to get this guy, but probably a bit too expensive. Hopefully they import the new molding

How hard is it to make his word and shield silver/gray?

Emerje

Why is there yellow on his chest?!

Remember the Movie Trilogy line that was supposed to spin off of the Dark Of The Moon toyline? All those promised redecos and remolds that we saw at various panels, yet they never saw the light of day? Well, after nearly three years of waiting, Takara Tomy has made the existence of those figures, or at least some of them, possible.

Seibertron.com is proud to present our two newest Transformers galleries:

Movie Advanced AEON Exclusive Wheeljack and AD17 Darkside Soundwave

Wheeljack sports a G1 deco and a brand new head that looks like a mix of his G1 self and...the Matrix?? Sadly, all of the accessories have been stripped and it's just the figure, but at least the fans will finally get the figure they were hoping for.

Darkside Soundwave takes on a Soundblaster deco, and looks classy doing so. Again, still no accessories, but the figure rocks all on it's own. At first glance, it looks like Soundwave took a dip in a vat of ink, but the black does look good on him and the silver paint apps bring the rest of the look together to sweeten the deal.

You can click on the pictures below to be taken to each figure's full gallery. While you're there, check out our galleries of the original molds, DOTM Wheeljack/Que and DOTM Soundwave.
