It's Striker Optimus Prime with Buster Prime level paint job and the TRU exclusive blades that were given out in Japan. *Makes my Striker Optimus & blades I spent a lot of money on pointless* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-blitz.gif) Randy --------------------  |

I'd be more interested if it were the Voyager 2010 mold, somehow retooled to have miniaturised versions of the Striker weapons. The Leader-class ROTF Optimus mold is just a little too annoying to transform, so I don't really feel like getting another.

Do you guys remember when I said I would cut myself with Sentinel Prime's swords if this is the same price or lower?
Well, it's 150 bucks and it come with the battle blades. http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop...mp;CatID=41_286 -------------------- My B/S/T thread

I thought I'd be able to resist this, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I should sell some of my other RotF Leader Optimus figures to help fund this. Randy -------------------- |

Looks great but I can't help but worry about what putting the shield thing on would do to the chromed grill.

IIRC they don't actually connect at any point. But I could be misremembering.

Because it doesn't have the removable gun? Randy Yup. I refuse to buy two Leader Primes to make one complete version so every time TT releases another version of the mold I wait to see if it's what I want. It never is but that's ok, it saves me money in the long run and right now with everything else I'm planning on buying starting to hit that's probably a good thing.

I am sorely tempted by this ecen though i have both Rotf leader Prime and Buster Prime.
I like the mold despite how frustrating the transformation is. It comes with more guns, the seperate blades and the battle mode truck front/armour sheild thing. But most importantly, its got chrome. I love shiny stuff and the Buster-ish paintjob is beautiful. I just hope the price isn't too high. Fingers crossed. -------------------- Created by Smitty! |

Huh, kind looks like a shoe box... And why are the hands unpainted? I'm guessing it's a minor mistake during assembly.

Not sure how I missed this thread for over a month, but that figure looks amazing... It looks tempting, and I'm actually one of the few who doesn't own ROTF leader Optimus in any form. (Probably sour grapes from buying the first movie figure twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-screamer.gif) ) But for $200, I'll have to really think about it.
