for the Asian market to coincide with the Chinese Year of the Dragon in 2012. The Planet Iacon - Singapore Transformers Fans Unite facebook page has uploaded a mock up for the repaint, which features a red trailer with dragon deco. The figure is scheduled to release in January 2012 just in time for the Chinese New Year.
...Fire Guts Ultimate Prime?
:rolleyes:
What next? The Gay and Lesbian Ultimate Optimus?
Considering this is targeted for the Asian market, I think this'll sell like hot cakes when it hits early next year - I mean, it's got a Dragon right on the Trailer! (South Park reference) :D
...I'd probably buy a GLBTIQ themed Optimus, Actually. As long as it was pink and Sparkly and had fierce eyebrows.
Tempting.
If I ever did get this toy, I might seriously consider keeping it sealed (shock!) -- I do have a loose regular Ultimate OP anyway. ;)
Since people are suggesting repaints - I want a My Little Pony 'Rainbow Dash' version
I like it. I'll never buy it, but I like the concept, artwork, and final colouring.
I'd buy it if the opportunity presented itself... but I'm not gonna go out of my way or pay some exhorbitantly inflated dealer's price for it.
And the 1st 10 lucky buyers of this exclusive Optimus will be treated with the new MechTech mini-MP3 player that only plays songs from Sisqo's Unleash The Dragon :D
aww... not Thong song? that thong thong thong thong thong...Quote:

Unless they pick a different mould each year - kinda like a lot of BotCon exclusives. So for instance, Ultimate OP is a 2011 mould which they'll use to herald in the 2012 Lunar Year. Pick a mould from next year's line for 2013 and so on and so on.
I reckon it'd work...
What would be even better is if they re-used moulds whose alt modes match that year's animal.
e.g.
2012 Dragon -- market exclusive repaint of Transmetal 2 Megatron
2013 Snake -- market exclusive repaint of Cohrada
2014 Horse -- market exclusive repaint of Mach Kick
2015 Goat -- market exclusive repaint of Ramulus
2016 Monkey -- market exclusive repaint of Ultra Optimus Primal
2017 Chicken -- market exclusive repaint of Rav
2018 Dog -- market exclusive repaint of K-9
2019 Boar -- market exclusive repaint of Razorbeast
2020 Rat -- market exclusive repaint of Transmetal Rattrap (apparently HasTak have lost the original Rattrap mould)
2021 Cow -- market exclusive repaint of BW Bonecrusher
2022 Tiger -- market exclusive repaint of Tigatron
2023 Rabbit -- market exclusive repaint of Stampy
Man... 12 years to collect a whole set... eeevil! Especially for say new collectors, like someone who decides to become a TF collector in 2021 would have to go and pay craploads on stupid inflated aftermarket prices trying to collect all those other figures he's missed! Har!!
yeah i dig a zodiac themed exclusives but i wouldn't want those old toys... I like new stuff with better designs
I think a pink Ultimate Optimus would be just FABULOUS!Quote:

I honestly find the trailer really attractive to me...and if I can find it at reasonable price I will buy it.
I think this is worst then Malibu Stacy with a new hat.... give the man a new gun or something at least :P
What happens in the trailer, Stays in the trailer....
Hey man, don't be dissin' Pinkimus Prime. Pinkimus never did anything to you!Quote:
