    Oooh, and there's Tracks at last. Kinda gappy at the back, but still nice. It will be mine! One step closer to the end...

    Flight mode's really awkward though; good thing I never really cared about that version


    SG is very definitely not for me, but that face on Blurr is effing awesome! A real face on a Transformer!


    Those blast effects (and I like blast effects) seem to be me what the word underwhelming was coined for. The colours are ... poor.

    We should be getting Tricranius here... around August, in speciality outlets, which might be like EB and/or Amazon.
    If EB are getting it, they should be listing it for pre-order shortly, now that it has been officially revealed.

    Was watching the feed last night and incredibly disappointed that the robot Optimus prime transforms at the command 'convert'. Wth??

    Aside from that it was all right. Well I didn't enjoy watching the fortnite bit at the start. But seeing the ark next to the sides faces was delightful. Do want.

    I?m hoping that its a programmable ?wake word? like Alexia which can also be configured to respond to computer, etc. Because it should obviously be transform, and these looked like early prototypes rather than the final product.

    I would dearly love to own that transforming Optimus Prime (that?s always been a dream, especially if you can drive it like a remote control car from your phone..... but I suspect battery life might be an issue here), but I?m all tapped out after Unicron. I know there?s a lot of people in the US with stimulus checks that are treating it like ?crazy money?, hence the skyrocketing of Unicron on the secondary market, but I think so many collectors will be burden that their sales volume will be low. 700 US might easily translate into 1400-1500 here with markups, so its just unaffordable for most. It?s a toy I?d love to see in person (even Bob mentioned you?re going to be using that carry-case to exhibit it to friends and strangers) but no-one could I lay down that much cash for one.


    ?-
    Addendum: If you?re interested in the technology involved, check out the manufacturer site for Robosen. This isn?t their first rodeo, and they have existing transforming robots (eg. The rover). I watched the video for the Rover, and it responds to the wake word Transform. So presumably we?ll see that wakeword in the Optimus as well, though it does seem strange it wasn?t used in the video.

    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Do we know if the transforming Optimus Prime will be available in Australia, maybe from EB in a similar style to Unicron?
    I would definitely be keen to get one.
