For those not aware, this figure is the Takara version of the Premium Optimus 'mould', with the most noticable colour differences being an orange blade (Hasbro's is grey), and chrome trimmings in truck mode.
Very nice, but I don't think I will be getting a fourth of this mould just for the chrome trimmings.

I haven't purchased Premium Leader Prime yet. If I do, this looks to be the best option. I'm quite keen to see what Takara do with Premium Ironhide!

I haven't even considered that yet. I'll definitely be waiting on the Takara versions now before I buy. Does anyone know whether RK stock the Japanese versions. They seem to have only the Hasbro US versions of most things normally. Otherwise I guess there's only HLJ

These aren't out yet, so RK has Hasbro versions. But, based on their recent style of stock, I'm sure they'll have 'em when released.

I'm not the biggest fan of this mold, but I think is clearly the best Premium "performance"

I have forgotten that this is the time it's supposed to be released. Oh my poor wallet... :(

This is what he should always have been. I am soooo sick of using my imagination to turn flat grey plastic into chrome.

Let's just say my Premium OP is staying nice and sealed until this comes along. Damn Hasbro for tricking me into thinking the Premium line was actually premium.

Only problem I can think of is how the chrome underneath the feet will get scratched so bad in bot mode. :(

So I'm still thinking about which one to get to open and play with.

These pics (http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/viewthread.php?tid=5149&extra=page%3D1) make him look bee-you-ti-full!

Maybe it's just the skills of the photographer?
Maybe it's the job TakaraTomy have done with him?

Whatever it is... He looks...

'Tis truly a thing of beauty in truck mode, although they should have at least silvered, if not chromed, the stacks. However, most will buyit for bot mode display and that will ruin the chrome on the feet pretty quickly I would think.

Which gets me thinking, does anyone know of / use any sort of sealant that will protect chrome parts?

No gun. The blade has replaced it.

I'm piggybacking with LCZ128, whom is a big fan and has nothing but good things to say. This will be my first experience.

I have sent them an email requesting an order.

That thing is too beautiful to pass up!

Again proves that its best to always wait to see what Takara does before buying Hasbro.

It has been released in Japan and Hong Kong. So I guess other Asian countries too.
