Hasbro Powermaster Prime looks like he's undergone the usual Leader class Hasbro cost cutting, to give us a $40 figure for $90. I've wanted a modern Powermaster Prime for years, but looks like I have to wait a bit longer for the inevitable Taktom Jinrai release.

Release dates (via Planet Iacon) -- prices are in HKD if anyone is wondering:

Those images are from Hobbybase here in HK. They put them on their FB page last night.
Actual price is covered, the $ shown is deposit required and in HK$. I have no idea why the guy from HB does that.
I might nip over in the next week or 2 and have a look what the actual full price will be as he normally has all these pre-orders up on the wall. :)
Only one I'm really keen on is Optimus although I'm sure we'll end up with a fair few of the other figures.

I hope those are just prototype pictures as he looks pretty disappointing. :/

Hopefully they are going with the logic of Blaster inferior, Soundwave superior. ;)

Looks fairly finished as there's paint detailing on the Titanmaster's face.. :(

Another almost $90 Leader class toy with no waist or wrist articulation for no good reason, doh! :(

There does seem to be a little cost cutting in the paint apps with these toys, at least based on the pics we have seen so far, particularly with the Headmaster companions, granted that some of the original toys were sparse on paint, but we've certainly seen Hasbro do better.

Is it just me or does it look like a mix of cast parts and prototyped? or some shoddy quality plastics I suppose is another option

I think you guys might be overreacting to some rather bad lighting in those photos, to be honest. But carry on, don't let me spoil your fun.
