anime52k8 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I really want one. This guy NEEDS to send this in to Hasbro/Takara. It even looks so official that seibertron.com mistook it for a potential hasbro/3rd party releease: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/458410-dotm-leaderclass-optimus-prime-trailer-ring-like-weapon-cache.html Pretty Cool! It's impressive, although the fact it's held up entirely by action bases should be a bit of a giveaway that this is a custom job.
knoted Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Imo the only downside is the white head. ....and the lack of thigh swivels ( often resulting in schoolgirl x-legs poses ).
Archer Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 It's impressive, although the fact it's held up entirely by action bases should be a bit of a giveaway that this is a custom job. Are you sure those are action bases? I could have sworn (from the pics themselves too) that those "legs" holding it up are actually a part of the trailer as well (i.e. they transform and are contained within the trailer, they are not an external part). Don't know, maybe I missed something?

Don't know, maybe I missed something? They definitely look like action bases to me...but that doesn't mean they aren't integrated into the trailer.
M'Kyuun Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Very cool and practical utilization/transformation of Prime's trailer. I always thought the original repair bay mode was a bit underwhelming and that more could be done with the trailer as far as transformation. Prime's Ring of Kickass would make a great toy.

David Hingtgen Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 A couple months late, but I finally took some pics in jet mode of my finished MP Thundercracker G1-repaint. Here's the best one I think:
VF5SS Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 PP03 Lightning might as well rip off Hasbro whole cloth at this point I guess that's more "anime color" than anything

kaiotheforsaken Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Bwahahahaha I promise to add lots more,that are large, taken with a good camera and against an appropriate background. I just had to share. Edited September 12, 2011 by kaiotheforsaken
CoryHolmes Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Whow. That sucker's large. Yeah, that's what Arcee said
anime52k8 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Bwahahahaha I promise to add lots more,that are large, taken with a good camera and against an appropriate background. I just had to share. are the arms at all articulated or is it seriously stuck in that pose.
kaiotheforsaken Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) That is his pose, no articulation. I get where you're coming from with the question, that was kind my reaction when I saw the initial unveil. It's grown on me over the year and a half+ since his reveal. Swapping out the fist for a gun or sword in his left arm makes the position look a little less odd. Edited September 13, 2011 by kaiotheforsaken
Archer Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 The Sideshow Optimus is just as awesome and breathtaking as I thought it to be, but that picture really goes to show everyone really how impressive the ROTF Leader Prime actually is. The accuracy of the sideshow collectible is pretty well translated (reasonably) to the Leader class, apparent in the photo. Congrats on your new masterpiece btw!

Haha thank you And yes, he is awesome. No pictures I take will do justice to the piece, it's even better in person. I would also agree about leader Prime, especially with the upgrades they've done for the DotM release. I'm not sure you'll ever get a better transforming movie Optimus unless they decide to do a full MP redesign. That toy is really great and they did a fantastic job with him.
Uxi Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Kinda forgot about it. Is Hasbro Rodimus still available at TRU or long gone?
jwasko Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Kinda forgot about it. Is Hasbro Rodimus still available at TRU or long gone? There were 3 at my local TRU this past Saturday.
CoryHolmes Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 unless they decide to do a full MP redesign. That toy is really great and they did a fantastic job with him. Guess what the next MP release will be.
JB0 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Guess what the next MP release will be. MP Ultra Magnus reissue?
CoryHolmes Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 MP Ultra Magnus reissue? Nope; it's yet another suckle at the teat that is Optimus Prime. A new version that'll be in-scale with MP Rodimus Prime.
VF5SS Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Nope; it's yet another suckle at the teat that is Optimus Prime. A new version that'll be in-scale with MP Rodimus Prime. welcome to like three months ago :v
kanedaestes Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Yeah that's pretty old news dude, thought you were talking about what's coming in after that.
David Hingtgen Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 And we've been talking about Movie Prime, not G1.
kaiotheforsaken Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I'm sorta on the fence about the new MP Prime. On one hand I really want it because hey...it's Optimus. On the other hand it's like...it's 250 bucks and it comes with a trailer I could care less about (and frankly am running out of room atm for anyways). Maybe I'll just hold out for one of the 487 re-releases oh him and hope one doesn't have a trailer. On the movie Prime front, an MP movie Prime would have to be pretty damned awesome for me to really consider it. With sideshow Optimus now my collection centerpiece and Buster Prime being a close second, I'd have to seriously think about how many more movie Optimus figures I wanted to add.
kanedaestes Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Picked up Target HA Leadfoot. He's a love or hate figure but seeing as how you can mistransform him to make him look better he's not that bad as a display piece, arm articulation sucks though. But as I mostly collect the HA line from the movie-verse and they fit will with Leader Prime and Ironhide I am happy with him. Kind of wish I could get a Leader Ratchet for the whole crew lol.
Archer Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I heard there were rumors of a Leader Ratchet floating around? Edited September 16, 2011 by Archer
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I heard there were rumors of a Leader Ratchet floating around? Haven't heard much on that at all.
Archer Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Haven't heard much on that at all. Well, I heard some rumors regarding how a guy, who got his voyager shockwave before anybody else because of connections to a manufacturer, heard from said manufacturer that a leader Megs was already in the pipeline, and that a leader ratchet would be the one to follow it to finish up the DOTM line. I wouldn't take any of that as concrete though, just some things I've heard floating around.
Kanedas Bike Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Has anybody picked up the Revoltech DOTM Optimus Prime yet? And if so care to share any thoughts on it...? -b.
Renato Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Has anybody picked up the Revoltech DOTM Optimus Prime yet? And if so care to share any thoughts on it...? -b. I just got it today, and I'm quite pleased with it, for the 3000 yen it was. Some joints (shoulders) are tight and some are not (feet). I think all the weapons are ridiculous if you put them all together like they suggest you do. I would much rather have two blades and two guns than the five guns and the single blade you do get. There's no alternate "mouth" face, either, but I wouldn't have used it anyway. Overall, nice figure, shame about the lack of useful extras. Though one blade is better than none. I like it -- Not sure how people who pay more than I did would rate it, though.

Very cool, thank you. I have a couple on order from AmiAmi that I need to pay for. I'll be sure to share my .02 when I get my hands on them -b.
Negotiator Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Anyone still looking for hotrod? He's up at Toysrus.com I talked to a guy at a tru store and he looked up the stock. Said there was about 450 of them. F' scalpers.
