I really like this mold, it's a real shame that we're not going to see it on shelves here. I picked mine up from Robot Kingdom for what worked out to be just under $20 with postage, comparable to Target selling commander class at $18. The thing I found disappointing about the RTS Optimus was that he didn't have a rifle (I grabbed a spare 3" titanium Prime rifle which worked okay). This guy not only has his rifle but a little buddy to direct in combat as well. I like the updated appearance as well. Can't fault the robot mode, but I would have liked to see less of the feet in truck mode but I'm being picky. Great bot mode and fun alt mode, if you can find it for around $20, I think it's defininitely worth it.
