Ultimetal UM01 Optimus Prime

Don't recall Optimus weapon is a Gatling gun, but oh whatever.

Looks like you're right - there's that one picture where the fog lights are visibly brighter. In that case, I stand corrected :)

It seems like the axe just fits over his fist, as on MP10. Surely the designers can find a way to make it light up?

Well the remote does have five buttons.

One for sound, one for chest, one for eyes, one for foglights. Maybe the other is weapon, or it's just a general on/off (which wouldn't make sense, but anyway). Or maybe the fifth one does everything at once?

^ Fifth button on the remote is the transformation????

With the US$100 Million you have won, you are now in a position to pre-order 10 of the Ultimetal Optimus Prime for your fellow forumers.

Another price reduction by BBTS, but this time only baby step. Now $950 US. Still comparatively more expensive than RK ($799).

Wondering if anyone pre-ordered Ultimetal OP yet?

I would be surprised if anyone buys this figure, but if anyone does I would be interested to read a review. :D

I'm still waiting to win the lotto.

kuma style review of the figure

It's a nice review, and a very nice piece, but I think I'm going to have to enjoy it from a distance, through other peoples pictures.

i'm quite impressed now that i seen the review , his armor shell is made of metal...so cool ...:cool: i too am going to admire from the picture only .... as it out of my price range
