That's noe weird thing 
Interesting though.
Might pick it up if it arrives here in Norway. Just affraid it'll cost a fortune as all the other TF's.

Is that in Voyager or Leader class scale?

No much smaller. I believe he's Deluxe scale but Voyager price tag.

Eh, he looks like one of those T800s without the skin they like to feature at the start of the Terminatuh movies. Find the gimmick nifty, tho. If it really is Voyager priced I'd hit it.

OMG 
I am happy they are (finallly) bringing it out, though doing so at the END of the movie waves and the beginning of Animated, I hardly think we are gonna find allot of them, if they will even become availeble in Europe!!
*will hope for the best*

Is there any information out there on whether or not these will see retail release in North America?
I love the idea, looks like a lot of fun.

I like the concept. It's very neat. But, the figure looks very awkward IMO. I guess you can only so much with the idea as a toy.

I have him and Bumblebee on preorder with BBTS. I really like the idea of these figures, I hope they do some more.

This is about the first time in a while where i've been pretty excited for a TF release.
I just love the concept behind it all. It's unique and isn't going to impact on the main line as gimmicks tend to do.
HLJ sent mine two days ago ... so at least 1 more week before he gets here. wheeeeeeee

Thanks for the link to the pics.

I saw a demo of Optimus in my local manga shop. The blue from his protoform looks a lot better than in these pictures.

If the protoform version was as tall as leader class Prime I'd buy it.

to those that have it:
is Tran-Scan Optimus to scale to go head to head with deluxe Bonecrusher(as seen in the movie)?
