Thats not the real price of the toy, you shouldnt judge it by that. Thats just the price americans have to pay if they want to buy from TF Source and not ship him from japan. It has nothing to do with the worth of the toy or how much it cost to make.

The real price is probably the same as any leader figure, so 50$. Has as much if not more detail than the leader seekers, so it sounds fair.

I just judged from the vehicle mode. He reminds me of the new Battle Pack OP. I think robot mode just looks so much detailed because of the vast paint Takara splashes on their versions.
And the price, I know that it's more expensive to import those figures but he doesn't look like a Leader class to me. For that the vehicle mode looks too crappy. But maybe it's an upscaled remolded version of the BP OP.

I think instead its a new mold which just takes hints of previous transformation and engineering. Like all of combiner wars deluxes and every RID optimus Hasbro has done. Like they just looked at old designs and made a new mold based on them instead of actually changing stuff to the physical mold.

What... What mold is that?

The robot mode looks amazing, while the truck mold... doesn't.

Pretty sure its a new mold. Which is odd since I thought TT only made one mold per character in their lines. Anyways for those who were wondering, this is what the chest bird looks like:

Oh and he's currently up for pre-order for 48$US at anime export. Get him before he sells out!

Breastforce member, you mean.

In all seriousness, it's a Micron.

Pour some hot coffee on my head or something, because Optimus looks more like a Megazord this time. :HEADHURTS:

It looks like a remold of the decepticon hunter Optimus with the battle armor and the minicon. Just in a larger size. the engineering looks similar and the mask even looks the same just in blue

Looks to be a new mold.

With, possibly, the crappiest alt mode ever - I mean, what? This is a TT product right 8-}

Unless it's a Hasbro mold that Takara happened to reveal first.

And the altmode pic seems to be unpainted, as the robot mode parts visible in altmode appear to lack the painted details that we see painted on the same parts in robot mode.

I still think it looks like a tweaked minicon 2-pack Optimus upscaled. the truck mode looks exactly the same

While I agree that it's too early to judge it, I do feel deeply let down (maybe, not sure that's how I feel need some more introspection), as I was immediately struck by how unfinished or rushed the vehicle mode looked; but the bot mode looks gorgeous, wonder how that will tie in with the show (if these do at all, the mini-con launching thing did...)

New mold! But in the same vein of transformation as previous optimus toys like Beast Hunters and the like.

That toy has a way better back, it looks more filled out.

The alt-mode is mis-transformed then. :))

I little paint work on the alt... Thunderclash.

So far I like it.
It's got to be pretty big... BBTS states it weighs 1.4 lbs.

Cool.

Here are the translations for the armors:

Kōtetsu Armor: Steel Armor
Jūryoku Armor: Gravity Armor
Kazan Armor: Volcano Armor
Dengeki Armor: Lightning Armor

Also notice how the Mini-Con names relate to the armor names
