I don't think they possibly could have given Bumblebee a creepier smile.

I think the one on Fixit rivals it.

I got some goodies sitting in my private warehouse at HLJ. TAV Megatronus and Fracture were pivcked up during the summer sale. I wanted to get Quillfire but when I put my order in he was gone. I also preordered the Strongarm that comes with the minicon. I was all for the Hasbro one but Takara's deco is better. I'm hoping to ship those when Strongarm is in stock but ya know how things are. 8-}

Despite the awesomeness of the robot mode...Primus, that 'truck' is awful. :SICK:

He's the new Cybertron Metroplex.

He's an amazing homage and an incredible robot mode, but the designers about 4/5 through development remembered "Oh shit, this guy's supposed to be a Transformer", and hastily folded him up into nothing and pretended it's a vehicle mode.

Gotta agree. His bot mode is bloody fantastic (though not a fan of face plate-less head) but that vehicle mode is a stretch...and I don't mean because of the length.

Dunno, I'm not psychic, but they usually move pretty well when they're new, but then stores order a ton, and then they sit...

I always doubt the possibility of an Optimus toy not selling well.

It's nice to see some articulation of a RiD figure bigger than warrior-lass.

Looks like one of the non-transforming 3rd Party Transformers. It is beautifully well detailed.

Yeah, that altmode is a letdown, but at the very least, I kinda feel like the more uniform Takara deco makes the altmode look slightly less offensive than it looks with the Hasbro deco's use of a rather unappealing shade of white/gray.

Am I seeing things or does the sword from this figure and Supreme Prime combine somehow?

The former. This figure comes with its own Prime Decepticon Hunter that's of a different mold than the one included with OP Supreme Mode. And the last pic has simply it holding the Supreme Mode one.

Really? I'm asking because something seems off with the hilt
