For G2 Optimus:
Where to buy
When's the release date? (all I've seen from post is Dec/Jan).
How much?

Man looking at the Soundwave I kinda wish the transparent parts weren't transparent, but were still the game colour as that would be awesome

Especially the head.

A G2 Optimus (even though it'd be another YOT~ product) from the MP-10 mould would be much more preferred than that Soundwave.

More like YotJ.. Hahaha!


Amirite?



Year of the Joke.



I'm here all week (literally)


^I probably heard the YotJ thing somewhere else and forgot it.

It's up for pre-order at Robot Kingdom for $120.

[Megatran]

Don't know yet, but I will ask.

I have a feeling that they would be a hard sell to retailers with those colours. YOTH Starscream looked better, but it ended up being rejected. If it was rejected due to cost, these two are likely to be about the same here, so you'd think that if Starscream looked more appealing visually and failed, these probably might not have much chance.
At best, we might get Optimus here just because it is the most iconic name in Transformers for retailers to take a punt on.

Given the success of Hasbro's MP Soundwave Toys R Us might pick it up

But unlike YOTH Prime, the colours on this (or lack thereof) are completely different to the original Masterpiece. Most people bought the YOTH because they had no other option for the MP-10 as Optimus, at least from my POV.

I would fall into this category, but its bizarre colour scheme has grown on me. Don't think I'll be able to say the same about YOTG Soundwave though.
