That's the base mode? Maybe it should be called being a cargo truck mode

Also might snag Sideswipe. I've warmed up to him more on the show and I need someone for my Strongarm to boss around. I'll grab the one with nice paint, as a colorblind dude who especially has trouble with reds, I'd rather not paint one myself.
Not a fan of Jazz, though. He seems a bit too blocky for my taste, and the extra paint unfortunately doesn't help quite enough.

Meanwhile, I think it's safe to say that I'll be getting Takara's Jazz. However, I don't notice any major differences between our Sideswipe and their Sideswipe, just some minor detailing on the crotch and wheels and a different shade of red, so I might just grab the Hasbro version. I need time to consider, first. I mean, you'd think I save money by getting the Hasbro version, but that fucking Optimus just fucking comes out of fucking nowhere and it's like....fuck!

Also, while I am still not sure about the figure itself, the paint apps on Takara's Jazz put Hasbro to shame. I mean, we all thought it looked naked, but this is just sad:
Takara
Hasbro

Hell yeah he's articulated. At least as much as a regular leader, check this awesome pic of him going from one mode to the next:
I know it's common to say how much takara is better but man, using 3 of the same toy (maybe 4) to show his transformation in a display panel is pretty great.
And here was the news post where we first heard of him (click the pic):

Oh and the best part of my autotrooper set (or any army building figure you have a bunch of), is how it can simulate transforming in slow mo, like i did in this post: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13&p=1617825&hilit=autotroopers#p1617825

Missed that article. This guy looks amazing, I love RID15's design for him.

That's a pretty sexy truck mode. I really like how the trailer becomes part of him, instead of coming off.

His legs become the trailer in every single toy of RID/TAV Optimus. The only difference is that this one is functional.

I know, I'm just saying I like the RID design.

His trailer mode is a cool mix of StarSaber & Action Master Optimus Armored Convoy, down to being able to seat 2 Deluxes in his trailer! I wonder why Hasbro hasn't made a better Voyager or Leader version of OP yet.
I think only 1 deluxe car can fit in his trailer. The two you see are in their robot mode sitting on it. Though if 2 could fit, that would be pretty awesome. Its so weird Hasbro isnt going this route, this is still very much a kid's toy after all, especially with the interaction with others and electronics and ... oh right, Hasbro doesnt do those on leader class toys anymore...
Its kinda sad that the big RID hasbro optimi are different scales of the same 1 step figure.

Hasbro's sideswipe had a great deco from the start and the only complaints I heard were of the actual mold. Does yours hold together well? The main reason to getting a takara version would be more to get a tighter and better fitting version of the mold if that aspect of the figure was reworked. The deco is almost secondary priority if that part of the figure is fixed.

I would have much preferred there to be a flap which closes the legs, like with Ultra Magnus or at least for the hollowness to be on the back like. As it is, the figure only looks great (and by that I mean freaken phenominal) from the front and thats too bad. Am I the only one to feel that way?

I did, I got him at around the same time I got Drift. I didnt wait till I got home, I did it while at work. But he was already sold out. He is on my watch list now. I might be tempting fate, but I feel like waiting for this Optimus. At least waiting till august to buy him so that he could be shipped with arcee (IF I do buy arcee, I still hope we get a hasbro release in canada). Arrgh, I just dont want to regret anything. I dont want to be dissatisfied and yet I dont want to miss out and I also dont want to pay shipping for every single figure every single time.

I have not actually purchased the figure yet. I'll be getting him in the fall though. gotta manage my budget.
But after watching many reviews, I do not think it will hold up all that well. I have yet to hear someone way their Sideswipe actually holds without modification. And he does have a good deco in my opinion.
to tell the truth here, I have only ever bought 1 takara figure, and that was 1-step Stinger since He was the same price on amazon as the hasbro one when I bought him. The paint really does not matter to me, i'm not particular about it. The paint job has never been a make-or-break deal to me.

I'd have gotten Jazz except, wtFrack happened to his visor? It's not Jazz without the visor

The feeling of getting another seibertron member's wallet punctured full of holes is reward enough already
Too bad about Jazz, I'm really OCD on him with a visor. Had to let him go.

You did see the screen cap I posted ne? Tell that to the company and their IT designer who encoded it. As you have noticed, I was speaking about the availability of the toy in amiami not what he is called in the show.

You sure? Because last night when I posted, Sideswipe and Optimus were still available while Jazz was sold out and 6 hours later it's still the very same status on all 3. Did the stock do a complete 360 in less than 6 hours?

Sold out again.If you base it on the time(12:28) stamp I posted the availability, it was like a total of 5 hours they were available. Heck, despite my not liking a visorless Jazz, I also preordered one.
