That said, I also like the look of the darker plastic, it gives OP a bit more of a realistic feel other than that super crappy gray they are using the hell out of on everything else in this current line. In his alt mode, he looks like he has road grit from a long haul and it actually improves his look IMO, especially since you don't see super clean tractor/trailers all over the place.

now we just need a 3rd Party to make the Energon Axe from DOTM to fight Sentinel and eventually have a Dead Megatron head with slit inti to fit the axe!

Maybe if they had bothered to paint the grey parts silver or chrome some of it i would be inclined to buy it. As it is now i'll gladly pass.

Absolutely agreed. I don't get their motivation here. This is just...stupid.

Definite no on the sword, not too sure about the tanks.

The tanks do not transform. This is ROTF Leader Optimus with mold modifications, not Buster Optimus, unfortunately.

This is the accurate DOTM figure.
Buster prime is a ROTF figure, because the buster cannon was used the most in it.

Hasbro never released the Buster optimus toy in ROTF nor in HFTD nor in DOTM.
The Buster optimus Prime toy & his smoke stacks that combined to form a huge riffle was exclusive to Takara Transformers ROTF toy line.
MY RANT: I'm really upset that Hasbro refuses to sell the DA-15 Jetfiwing prime toy & not selling the DA-28 striker optimus prime toy.
INSTEAD WE GET 2 GARBAGE DOTM Ultimate optimus prime toy & the 2012 Trilogy deluxe optimus prime with trailer.

Nowhere, except Hasbro confirmed it will not import either Jetwing or Striker. If the packaging has Japanese writing on it, that's a tell-tale sign it's TakaraTomy only.

My opinion below,I state nothing as fact.
I think due to the price tag & size makes it impossible for hasbro to convince all the USA retailers to sell DA-28 or Da-15 so late in the game in early 2012. at best hasbro USA might luck out & have it as a store exclusive to TRU or walmart. TRU seemas like the best bet because they sell more bigger sized store exclusives TF items than Walmart
The negative thing is,the mold was already released in american stores twice. once in regular,second in battle damage with the hooks. the hooks HFTD version sold poorly & eventually showed up at discount chains for almost half price.
Hasbro USA seriously needed to release either DA-15 or DA-28 when the DOTM toy line first hits stores in america in june or at the latest july.
My guess is Hasbro USA didn't want to sell DA-15 nor DA-28 because it would have taken away sales & attention from the DOTM Ultimate optimus Prime toy.
expecting major usa retailers to stock a huge+exspensive DOTM item in 2012 seems like a impossible tash. because DPTM will be done releasing new molds around february/early march 2012.
At best we can all hope BBTS.com over ordered on DA-15 & DA-28 & has a mass reduced clearance sale on both items.
