Hasbro has nothing to do with these. This is all Takara. And Yes of course they are repaints. Its a line celebrating 10 years of the first Movie. Re-releasing the "best" molds of the characters from the movies in better paint jobs.

Beyond that, why were you expecting anything other than repaints in a line that was said to be re-releasing old figures.

If you are going to complain abut something, the least you could do is get the facts straight, and complain about something that was not already completely obvious, known, and publicized.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm...

sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing. Guess I missed that.

Anyways, I am a bit disapointed in that soundwave, the heavy black everywhere that isnt silver drowns out the detail. Also, he doesnt come with his cool accessory from the human alliance line and thats a shame.

I was hoping for a giant Ratchet to suit my giant ambulance needs.

I love how shiny his silver is and I could easily drybrush some extra silver over the black to bring out the details more. The missing HA stuff is a bit of a let down but it's still a gorgeous figure.

Back on topic. Leader Prime is looking good. Never got that mold back in DotM or its subsequent retools.

The retools, and all the accessories just make this mold all the better.

I'm so glad I pre-ordered him. Seems the $66 pre-order is sold out.

Alfes' blig has some images for the newly released second wave of Movie the Best toys. Below you will see images for:

MB 05 Ironhide
MB 06 Ratchet
MB 07 Soundwave
MB 08 Starscream

Since it isn't always obvious, we included images of the initial Hasbro releases of these molds to show you which molds these are based on and how different these releases are. They are all shipping out from Japan this week. You will also see what accessories they come with and don't come with (in the case of Soundwave, there are many accessories missing).

Let us know what you think of these versions!

I dont get where takara gets their all black deco for a good portion of soundwave.

He definitely had grey/silver allthroughout his body in the movie

Oh no.



Oh NO.




....I've just come to the realization that my wallet is about to have a bad time.

These do look nice.

Don't think you finished Starscream's pics though. That mold was better than the 2007 one but I still actually prefer the Deluxe figure's design in both modes and just wish that could get scaled up to Voyager (since his awesome Leader toy scaled down to Voyager might be too fiddly)
Same goes for Ironhide. His Voyager toys tend to have annoying issues like the chest or shoulders. Found his Deluxe much more solid and tidy.

Am I the only one slightly disappointed that a lot of these seem to be missing accessories from their original releases? Ratchet's buzzsaw gun, Soundwave's HA accessories...

I think they used up the paint app budget for him on his face. Is it just me or are there varying (subtle) degrees of silver/cool/warm gray on his face.
The premium paint apps really draw me into these figures, but I've never been a fan of the movie aesthetic, but if I were to get movie figures it would be some of these.

Ironhide: Neat! Defenitely feel more premium.

Ratchet: Yellow instead of green. Yawn.

Soundwave: OMFG... That one feel sexy as hell. It's also from that mold that was exclusive to asia and the deluxe original is ironically way more expensive than the HA version. So, i'm mighty tempted to buy this.

Starscream: NO FIXES ON THAT FLAWED MOLD! HANDS STICKING OUT OF THE JET MODE RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The soundwave is human aliance soundwave mold.

william-james88 wrote:The soundwave is human aliance soundwave mold.

Oh. I see it now.
It also don't seem to come with Laserbeak nor the human rider. A shame.
So, I'll skip it because I already have the original HA.

So, what's the logic behind having Ratchet and Ironhide as deluxes again?

I'm assuming Takara thinks these deluxe molds are the "best" representations of those characters, over their Voyager molds.

Which I disagree with. I still think that voyager Ironhide mold is better that the deluxe even with its flaws.

I agree. And that voyager Movie 2007 Ratchet is pretty much perfect too.

Yeah, Ratchet is a fun figure, with an interesting use of the automorph gimmick too.

For Ironhide, I agree that the Deluxe is not the most screen-accurate mold. I'd say the Leader is.

But for Ratchet, by a large margin is that Deluxe the most movie-accurate Ratchet mold there is. The Voyager, while a decent figure in its own right, is far more blocky and disproportionate to the leaner, sleeker look of Ratchet's CG model. Thus, it only makes sense to go with the Deluxe mold for maximum movie-accuracy.

Which then brings me back to Ironhide. Because they used the Deluxe Ratchet mold, maybe Takara felt that it was only fair to use Ironhide's Deluxe mold too to keep him and Ratchet in the same size class.

I agree. The Deluxe is closer to the thinner lankier proportions of movie Ratchet.

As for Ironhide, perhaps they thought a line composed almost entirely of Voyager sized figures would be too boring?

Outside of Bumblebee and Strafe, everything else would have been a Voyager or voyager sized. Adding a couple more deluxes sort of evens it out? Maybe?

They should have went for the LEADER Starscream mold instead of the assinine ROTF voyager. BAckward elbows hands sticking out of the jet, it's unforgivable for a line that is supposed to show the "best".
Scale be damned.

They already gave the Leader figure a Movie 1 redeco in the MP line. The ROTF Voyager was the last remaining good Movie Starscream figure to have not gotten that deco treatment yet (the DOTM Deluxe got it in the Movie Advanced series).

I skipped this mold when it was released as the G1 color+no faceplate Hb version. Even the Takara version. What a big mistake on my part as the engineering in the figure is outstanding! Even for his scale.

Color wise, the weathered look is amazing! Only issues I got is the neutered light piping gimmick. If only Takara used a blue colored plastic like that of TL Arcee then no need to paint his optics.

Fixed.
Because Takara didn't bother to do so for that ROTF voyager mold. It's even in the instructions that the hands should have folded inside. Also, the backward elbows are stupid. Both issues that are easely fixable, especially for a line that is supposed to be premium. Because of that, I feel that this ROTF mold is utter trash.

Wow. You got some pretty high end standards, man. That's the best Voyager class mold Movie Starscream's ever had. It's wonderful.

Not perfect, but no figure is.

It's not really "high standards". I think the 2007 voyager starscream is the better toy for some weird reasons. No the problem with the ROTF voyager mold is that it's pretty much PERFECTION... with a huge, purrulent zit right on top of it's nose.

Just paid for my MB-11 Movie 10th Anniversary Optimus Prime. I'm sure we'll start seeing more in hand images and videos floating around soon.

Anyone who havent preordered any of these figures, it's too late to change your mind.
Most of them are either sold out everywhere, or they are now at scalper price on Ebay.

But we knew that would happen. All premium movie figures always go that way ever since 2007.

The third and final wave of the Movie The best line is coming out this month so in hand images are about to come out for Grimlock, Strafe and leader Optimus. In the meantime, we have an image of Optimus Prime in his box. he is in alt mode, like the rest of this line, with a lot of space given to his accessories. Anyone geting him?

Straighten that smoke stack! It's bugging me...

I paid for him too. Curious about one thing though, if the MPM Optimus prime turns out better than this guy, will you have buyer's remorse of buying MB 11?

Yup, my pre-order for mb-11 just came up for shipping. Should be here sometime next week if DHL time tables are to be trusted.

Never had this mold, so will be nice to get him. Should look nice next to my other 3 movie Primes. 2007 Voyager, Chromed DOTM Deluxe from the Silver Knight and Grimlock set, and AOE Evasión.

no point in getting this if the mpm is coming out

Overcracker your G1 Hot Rod makes me sad. Stuck at the back missing his roof/spoiler and chest/head. He needs to be fixed and displayed proudly in line with all his descendants.

Yeah, need to source his roof, spoiler, head and guns, but this is the one I had as a kid back in the 80's die cart feet version. He faired better than my Thundercracker, of which all that is left is his die cast torso.

I'm very much tempted to get MB-11 at some point... I've always wanted a version of the mold. But with the potential the upcoming MPM Prime has to be that much better, I think I'll hold out for awhile.

Smoke stack doesn't bother me

Not at all! I don't really think of things that way. It's a nice looking figure of a character I like so I bought it. If the MP is also nice and assuming it isn't just this figure in fancy packaging, I'll buy that too and they'll both stand on the shelf with the rest of my Movie Prime figures.

Now if they announced another run of MB-11 with more weapons and rocket pack then I'd have buyers remorse. But that would probably fade away since they'd look nice on the shelf. I'm someone that owns three RID2001 Optimus Primes (plus the yellow one) and three G1 PM Primes just for a nice display in all their forms.

See, that's something I've wondered about. Are there many people here who buy multiple figures to be able to display all modes at same time? And what about having both loose and boxed versions?

Personally, I'd prefer having one to keep on display, and one to actually play with. And maybe one in the box. Problem is, I don't have money yet.

Yeah. Cost is the issue. Shelf space be another. Anyone have at least two of same Combiner Wars teams just to have individual members and the combined form together?

Just for the record, that MB-11 Bee is the HFTD Battle Ops Bee mold, right? If yes, I'm all set with the gold costco version I got years ago:

Nope. Brand new mold.
